Im so on fire for the Lord right now. I cant even control it. Thank you guys so much for being who you are. Its true that God can use anyone to make a difference. And I believe us homeschoolers arent at all what the world thinks we are. We can deffinitely make a difference in the world. Just cause we're at home a lot doesnt mean we're sitting around doing nothing all day, that gives us more time to serve the Lord and grow closer to Him. So thanks. =]] and I plan to be on here ALOT. I may only be 16, but I know I can make a difference in the world. And I hope I will. Im so glad I found this website. Im so on fire for the Lord right now. I cant even control it.

Knowing that others of my generation are taking a stand against contemporary apathy and expectations, I feel renewed once again to fight with my whole spirit. I commend both of you for your passion and it's wonderful results. I will be praying for you, Alex and Brett, and those you work with, that God may continue to flood you with His wisdom, eloquence, love and fire. Though we may never meet, know that a sister is happy to fight beside you, for the Rebolution, and for the King.

I didn't really feel a call to serve God in a specific area till just last year. And now i'm involved in missions (local, and in Mexico) and as i look into colleges that i might be interested in, i'm looking for a major in music performance, and possibly minors in spanish and youth ministry. The youth group i attend is AWESOME! I love them, and i love that they love and stive to serve God. Alex is right, we are not a generation that is to sit back and be lazy! We are facing major spiritual warfare in our world! And we need to stand up, put on the full armor of God, go into all the world and share the good news of Jesus Christ, and thru God, win lost souls. I myself have one friend in particular who isn't saved, and i want nothing more to see him come to Christ. My heart breaks for him, and my heart breaks for this lost nation. This lost world. Count me in. Lets start a rebolution. Yay for homeschoolers =)

Right beside you.

This is what we are trying to do in our church. But we are only about one or two teens trying to make a difference in the Hispanic and African American community. We are currently trying to organize a youth church in another church, but it is difficult to find teens that are willing to be on fire for God. Please pray for us! This is awesome.

Many people around my age (30's and 40's) are looking to the youth for guidance on how to dress, how to act, and what to get into. I'm a homeschooling mom with 8 children and have always homeschooled. It seems that in generations past kids looked up to the adults and wanted to be like them. Even grown men wanted to be like the resident grandfathers. Every boy knew what a man was, because men were everywhere, chopping wood, building things, protecting the innocent, etc. Girls knew what a mature lady looked like as well. Now it seems like there is so much confusion among the youth because there are SO FEW role models any where near them that are real men and women. So many people are focused on worshipping the youth culture and becoming famous that they have almost no compass. When you spoke about babies learning how to walk, talk, and crawl, that was something missing. The babies have examples, not just expectations. Even if the expectation was removed, babies would eventually learn because of wanting to be like all those very plentiful people who are obviously more advanced. Does this make sense? Christian adults need to quit getting caught up in the most popular TV shows and how to look like the youngest 40-something year old on earth, and start acting like a grown up. Another concern is that it seems to cost money everywhere one turns to be able to gain knowledge and experience because those who've been handed it are now charging to share it. It's becoming increasingly hard to find anywhere affordable to hunt or fish because the government is gobbling up all the good land. I haven't read the whole blog of course so I may not have seen this talked about. Has it been? Tanya (concerned mom of 8) Hello,

Another concern is that it seems to cost money everywhere one turns to be able to gain knowledge and experience because those who’ve been handed it are now charging to share it. It’s becoming increasingly hard to find anywhere affordable to hunt or fish because the government is gobbling up all the good land.
