Youth group what is a life

Because of this I hated leaving my house. I hated trying new things and I became extremely isolated. I rarely talked to anybody outside my family except when I was in school.

My brother is a huge extrovert and he was involved in a lot of youth groups. My Mam was extremely worried about me and wanted me to make friends so she made me go with my brother one night. I was absolutely terrified because I hated being around groups of people and I suffered hugely with anxiety.

I would shake and my heart would begin to pound. I am a huge over-thinker and I always analysed everything I said. However, everybody in the youth group was extremely friendly and they were all interested in what I had to say.

It took me a few months to go back but then I began to go every week. The youth workers always made sure I was listened to as I found it extremely difficult to make my voice heard as I was so shy.

They always let me know I could talk to them whenever I needed to. It is such a different experience compared to school even though you're still among people your own age.

Personally school has always been a huge challenge for me because I found it so difficult to make friends. The teachers noticed but they never really made me feel like I could talk to them or like they cared about stuff other than my grades. However, in the youth groups I have been involved in they always showed us that they care about issues we face too and that if we need any support they are happy to help.

I noticed my confidence slowly begin to build and I began to stop doubting myself. Your third purpose is to become like Christ. Remember, God is far more interested in your character than your career. That is why God puts his Spirit in you, to shape you and change you to become more like your saviour. Your fourth purpose is to love God by loving others. Stop thinking about how you will be blessed by those around you, and start thinking about how you can be a blessing to them.

Your fifth purpose is to make a unique contribution in the world. Think about the opportunities, friendships, connections, communities, skills and talents God has given you, and look for ways to serve God and others throughout your life. Your unique contribution will most likely change over time, so be flexible and willing to be used by God at all times in different ways.
