We Are The Future

     Imagine yourself ten years from now. Where do you see yourself? Some see themselves in the military, while others see themselves as a stay-at-home parent with children and a loving spouse. One might imagine themselves running a small business, and another might imagine themselves as the star of a professional sports team. I see myself in a college going through veterinarian school. Think about were you see yourself in the future.
     We have all heard adults say to us that we are the future. Teenagers, like myself, just shake our head trying to push the thought out of our mind. The idea of moving out, paying our own expensive bills, finding a job, managing our money, and surviving on our own does not really sink in until you walk across the stage to accept your diploma and graduate from high school. Then you are there! We are the future business leaders of America. We are the future political leaders. We are the future medical staff. WE are the future.
     Many adults today have never heard of or do not believe in Jesus Christ, much less teenagers. As the economy worsens and puts stress on American citizens, more turn away from God. Our church attendance numbers are slipping. People turn to drugs, alcohol, and other things to make things "better". Does this have an effect on upcoming generations? Well of course it does! We as Christians have to strengthen our faith, be a good example, and stick with God if we want to have a better future. One day we will be making the calls and decisions. We can make a difference on this Earth. It all comes down to that one simple statement that says : WE are the future.


For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

Jeremiah 29:11
