Hi, My name is Cathy. I am an active member of the St. Jude's youth group. I absolutely love it. Many of the people there have helped me through so much stress, problems and struggles in my life. Every year my church has an Italian Festival on our back parking lot with tons of games, rides, raffles and food. Its one of my favorite times of year. Everyone pitches in and helps out. My dad does parking, my mom and i usually do the food and my brother helps with games. This year although i worked at the ticket booth and youth group table. But this year one thing stuck out to me more then anything.. and it was the stupid freshman pointing and laughing at my table. Now, at first me and my friend got SUPER pissed and thought "NO ONE MESSES WITH MY CHURCH GROUP" And we wanted to rip their heads off. But then, we looked at each other and realized that doing that wasn't the right approach. We didn't say or do anything to them. The kids who were making fun of my youth group just haven't let god in their lives yet. Maybe they never will, maybe the have but the just want to copy what the other kids were doing. All i know is that, with my faith and what i believe in.. i will pray for them to let them have god into their life and to maybe grow up and little bit and not be such a jerk ;)
I pray every night. (well as much as i can anyway...) but when i do.. i mean it. I pray for all my family members, for my friends... and now even some of my ex-friends. I pray for everyone who is important to me in this world. Without those people, i don't know where i would be today.
