Being home schooled and raised in a Christian family, I’ve probably got slightly different morals then most non-Christian teens my age.

For example, I don’t agree with dating, abortion or slavery and I wear a purity ring (Which, I’m pretty sure not many non-Christian teens my age do!)

I am not tempted by the same things most teens are probably tempted with, such as, drugs, alcohol, smoking etc.
I’m not saying I am not tempted to sin, of course I am, I don’t know anyone that isn’t tempted to sin!

There are even times when I find myself blaming God because my life isn't going the way I want it to.
I’m not proud of it, and I know that everything happens for a reason.
Even if at times it seems like something awful has just happened, I’ve learned (and still am learning) to wait it out, God never gives me more then I can handle!

I’ve had many experiences where I’ve almost even wondered if there truly was a God!
Things hadn’t seemed to be going very well and no matter how hard I’d prayed, they never got any better.
I began thinking things like “If God really cares, why is he not fixing this?” and “If there really is a God, why is he ignoring me?!”

I soon learned after that that he was listening, and he did/does care.
He’s not our servant, we can’t command him to do something and actually expect him to do it!
He doesn’t work like that.

Yes, He will bless you and answer your prayers, but He does it when He thinks the time is right, not when you want Him to.
I’ve had to learn not to question God’s choices, He knows what’s going to happen, if He wanted me to know what was going to happen, He’d find some way of telling me.

Another thing I’ve learned over the past few years is, you can never hide anything from God!
He knows all, He sees all and it doesn’t matter what you do, if it's wrong, whether you in your heart know it’s wrong or not, He’ll always make sure you are accountable for your actions!

1 corinthians 10:13

"No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it."
