Sorting out the Cobwebs
Do you ruffle through all the stuff in your mind, trying to find some answers? Are you to scared to look? Lets get alittle bit stupid here and think about that locker at school. Just for the sake of right now, we will think about that locker being your mind. It might be alittle easier for you to get the idea of what I am saying to you that way. I know Teens aren't stupid, so I am going to talk to you just like I would have my own kids or even some of the people I work with today.
You are finding yourself alittle on edge, everytime you even think about going to locker because you konw it is such a mess. But you also know you have no choice, Life goes on and whatever you are trying to find is important.
So you have a couple choices here, you can do one of five things.
You can scream and throw a fit, saying you dont know who did that to your locker.
You can trash everything in the locker and start over, course you know there are consequences when you cant turn in those important papers or find those books in time for class.
You can take everything out, throw it in a sack to take home and somehow find the time to get to sorting it out someday.
You can decide that you need to get some sort of organization here and you go to someone who might be able to help you, figure out what to do.
You can start shuffling through until you find that one paper you are looking for, but when you do, its all messed up and everything else starts falling out anyway, just as the bell rings, you cram it all back in, to get to class in the nick of time.
Which approach do you really think is going to help you the most?
You cant avoid the filth for long because it would fill up with trash and then it would be to late to try to find anything some of those papers go to certain classes, some belong in the trash, some need to be shared with others so you might help them learn something, or some of it might need to be put in a folder for future use.
You say your afraid to open the door? Well I can understand that, no one wants a whole load of garbage falling on their head all at once.
Ask yourself, what is it that you feel like is in that locker that scares you?
Do you feel like it is stopping you all together,?
Then you are going to have to make yourself take everything out of there and give it to someone who can help you deal with all of it, so they can show you there is nothing to be afraid of (God)
Because remember, you cant let it all build up or one of these days, it will get jammed tight together and someone else is going to have to be stronger then you are, to open it and when they do , you may not like what they have to do to open it .
Most of the time, when you get everything out of there you find out, all there is in there to of scared you, is this little cobweb in the corner that can easily be removed, so you really cant choose to avoid cleaning out that locker and keeping it half way organized because if you do.
One of these days, it will all seem like it is to much to handle and you wont want to try but at the same time youcould be asking for trouble because life always comes boiling down unless you choose to do something about it.
So when you look at the things that are on your mind, things you know need to be cleaned out, but it scares you to much to try. Remember that avoiding the problem is not going to help. Maybe you feel like you cant talk to your parents or your teachers or maybe your youth minister and thats ok for now.
But there is someone who is there to talk to you about it,and He will help get your act together before it is to late. And that person is God. How is the world are you going to talk to God? You think He is to busy to listen to you or maybe you dont think He is even real.
I want to assure you that He is very much real and He loves you more than anyone down here in this earth ever will.
God sent His son Jesus here, for you to be freed from the fears, the guilt and the clutter in your life and all you have to do, Is talk to Jesus.
Jesus is going to listen. He is going to show you how to handle things better and He will let you know how important you are to Him, as long as you reach out to Him and dont ignore Him or His word, He will prove Himself to you. Just ask.
Sometime when you have a few minutes to think, Close your eyes and listen. Do you hear anything? God will speak to you in your heart if you let him. He will allow your conscience to show you things that need to be taken care of.
No one needs to know what you tell God, except you. But one day it wont hurt nothing for you to clue in those around you who love you, that you have some issues that you realized you need to work on.
You take care and hold on, cause we are praying for everyone who reads this website and one day God will give you the peace and the purpose you need to overcome all the difficulties you are facing during this time in your life.
God Bless,
