Be happy!

Hello!

It's my first time blogging.

So, I was wondering what to actually blog about, and today in youth group we were talking about how we define ourselves. So yes, that is what I shall talk about today.

Everyone has their own 'thing', right? It could be academic, sporting, personality etc... It's something that people associate you with or something that you are associated with in people's minds. I know some of you at this point may be thinking 'I don't have something!' but that's not true. There really is something that the rest of us admire about you. And if you can't think of what it is, maybe I'd be able to tell what it is.

Anyway, how would you feel if that were stripped away from you? I know I would feel pretty gutted. Maybe even hopeless. This isn't good, but I define myself largely on how I perform academically. It can be incredibly stressful because of the standards I set.

And I don't want to turn you guys off or anything by talking about God, but He just really helps me to remember that that's not all I have. And that these things that I define myself as aren't true and lasting. Like, it's not going to be remembered. He's a real comfort to me.

Oh man, I'm rambling. I'm sorry, I really have no experience in this. Sorry if that bored. (I'll try and think of better stuff next time.)

Happy Apple.
