a good friend of mine is really really sick in the hospital, and it's just been a mess. They still don't know exactly what's wrong with him, but he'll be in there for awhile.
He's in a lot of pain, keep him in your prayers and please just believe God is gonna heal him, because I know he will.
<33 you jake!

You really don't know anything about me, and you never did. And to be honest, once I got away from Sonrise and into the church I found in Minnesota, I experienced the love of God for the first time. I'm not attacking the church but...I definately think that when I was there, there were people in the youth group that were walking in condemnation and religion rather than in love. And that drove me away from God.
You need to understand that by the middle of June I wanted nothing to do with God, I would have declared myself an agnostic, and I had no relationships with any Christians, because they never took the time to reach out to me.
So please...understand something.
Stop correcting those around you and start recognizing the need for grace and discernment in this world.
And btw, I gave my life back to God when someone prophesied over me at a youth group here in Elk River, and what he said was along the lines of "God loves you, and he wants you back, why do you hate yourself, don't blame the God for what the church has done, he loves you, and he says your beautiful."
That is what people need to hear, not correction.
the end.
