Hey guys!
I know that this was a big day for you (1st day back to school). I’ve been thinking about you guys & praying a lot today. I really believe that this is going to be a POWERFUL year for many of you! Think of this school year as one chapter in the book of your life and YOU get to write it! YOU are the only one who decides what YOUR attitude will be, how YOU will treat people, if YOU will really do your best, what things YOU will participate in…etc. YOU are the author, no one else. So here are my thoughts/advice for this school year:
1. Since your attitude is really up to you, start saying positive things about school (if you can’t think of any positive things going on now then at least say what you are believing for) If on day one you are already posting on facebook that school sucks then don’t be surprised when it does. Your words are powerful.
2. Don’t allow anyone else to write this chapter of your life. If people have labeled you & you have changed, then prove them wrong!
3. If you are a disciple of Christ then think of this school year as your mission. This is an amazing opportunity to show people what a living example of Jesus/love looks like.
4. Make new friends. Let this be the year that no one eats lunch alone (unless they want to) Try to make a difference in someone’s life everyday! Who knows what a difference a hug, a kind word or even a smile could make. Pray for opportunities.
5. Be bold. Don’t be afraid to stand for what you believe in. Remember this is YOUR chapter & you have a right to your beliefs.
6. Look past the superficial junk the world is cramming down your throat (clothes, makeup, appearance, etc) true beauty is much more than what’s on the outside. Live true beauty & look for true beauty. You are part of the biggest generation the world has ever known, if you guys stop buying the worlds junk they will have no choice but to stop selling it.
7. Don’t wait for adults to respect you, respect them first. I know…you guys don’t like this one BUT do it anyway & see what happens. It will freak them out 
8. Believe you are to valuable to be mistreated or to waste your life because YOU ARE!
9. Ask God what He wants you to do each day & then do it! It will change your life. Every day is valuable, make the most of it.
10. When you mess up don’t give up. Ask forgiveness, learn from your mistakes & go on.
I love you guys & I believe that you are part of the greatest generation the world has ever known! I am in your corner cheering (and praying!) for all of you!!!
