My mom and dad r worried abt my spiritual status. Just cause i quit goin 2 da church i ws brought up in - i go 2 anotha 1 now. I just want nothing to do wif my previous church. They're really boring in EVERYTHIN they do! and i'm the only person my age. I've been going thru hard tymz wif my sista bein bi-polar and just gettin completely lost in da anger and hurt. I'm just startin 2 get out of it now. I hav problems expressin myself, i keep my problems bottled up. I did a few things i'm not proud of. I got absolutely drunk 1nce and i regret the deed but it brought me closer 2 this girl. Now she trusts me and i can talk 2 her abt God. I even explained 2 her dat that's not who i am. Besides dat I such a low self esteem, I no God made me da way I am but I just can't learn to "like" myself. I feel so wortless! What can I do 2 get out of this dark patch??

It's okay not to go to a certain church building, because the fact is it really doesn't matter what church building you go to. I'm proud of you for attending a church building that you feel more comfortable and welcomed, and excited to be there, and I know the Lord is as well.
Know that the Lord Jesus is able to heal and deliver your sister from bi-polar disease. I know:) I've been there and come out. Keep praying for her.
In life we ALL do things that we are not proud of. We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. And the thing that's wonderful about that is God is willing to forgive us of those things if we confess and repent to him. And He'll remember those sins no more.
I promise you there is NOTHING that you can, could, or will EVER do, that could stop Jesus from loving you:) There's nothing that you can't talk to Him about, because He listens. And He wants you to receive Him into your life and your heart just as you are right now this very minute.
If you've received Salvation- Praise God. Talk to the Lord He wants to know what's on your heart. Just talk, He'll listen & He'll Answer. Jeremiah 33:3
If you haven't received Salvation, I'd love to send you an email and show you how if you'd like or we can chat, I'd be willing to send you my ID if you want.
Jesus is able to heal you and restore you.
You're not worthless, I bind whatever evil spirit spoke that lie to you right now in the name of Jesus.
You're worth so very much more than you know...so much that God sent His only Son Jesus to give His life to pay for yours, so that you can be lifted up with Him.
What do you do to get out of the dark patch, receive Jesus. And I promise you, you will never be the same.
And about your parents- don't be so hard on them:) They love you and they care about you. Just let them know that you like the other church because there's more people there that are your age.
I appoint the Hand of the Lord Jesus upon your Life and upon your Heart.
*hugs*
Blessings To You & Yours

Im a parent and I still believe parents know best, however if youre still going to church thats a good thing, if its a good church. However getting drunk is bringing you close to this girl maybe you need to run the other way. Just my advice but I dont believe that getting drunk is your answer to anything it will just add to the problem. and as far as your self esteem, well look in the mirror and tell yourself all the positive things there are about you

Find a church that has a little more organizations for people your age, like a youth group. My youth group is led by a really fun and awesome young couple, and we go on trips and have game days where we have water balloon fights and eat pizza and have movie nights where we all get together and have a good time. Invite your friends. Maybe your can find a youth group where you can trust the leader and you can talk to them about your problems, and they can help you out and pray for you. God made you beautiful and you should know that. Pray for something to get you out of this, and you will find it.

my feelins are where ever you feel closest to God that is where you should be.
there are many demoninations of christiany out there and its important that find the one that makes you feel the best.
remember no person is an island you need to talk to someone and not hold everything in. the more you hold things in, its like adding a brick to a backpack after awhile the burden is great.
to overcome your low self esteem surround yourself with happy upbeat and positive people. you have a lot to offer everyone, we all do, maybe we dont know what it is we have today but we all have it and many need it. to keep yourself secluded you are cheating yourself and others out of that.
write down 10 things you are good at, or things you like about yourself, if you cant find 10 things ask a friend for help. friends see things differently then we do. there are support groups out there that you could join.
get creative and find some hobbies, find things that make you happy, and do them.
remember life is fragil handle it with prayer.
if you need to talk message me i will offer anything i can do to help.
God Bless and a big cyber hug to you ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

#1 stop feeling sorry for yourself
#2 don't worry about what church your parents want you to go to
#3 decide what is important to you in your life
#4 take positive steps to achieve your goals
Faith is the realness of all we hope for, something to hold on to even when we cannot see it.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

first thing you need to do is learn to speak and write properly instead of sounding uneducated. next look to GOD for all answers, as long as you feel blessed in the church you attend and your learning something about GOD then stay there.
