Young Christians face particular challenges to their faith these days. I would know, I am one. There are so many influences out there that distract us and keep us from God. I have started this blog to share my experiences and hopefully learn from others out there about their experiences and challenges. I'll start with one of my favorite songs - the lyrics really hit me every time I read them:

Jesus Calls Us

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, "Christian, follow me."

Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us, saying, "Christian, love me more."

In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil, and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian love me more than these."

Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Savior, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thy obedience, serve and love thee best of all.
