A lot of you are just starting a new year of school! That can be exciting, but scary as well!
When I first started at a new school, I was very scared. I didn't know who to talk to, or who to avoid. It was uncomfortable for me sitting in a classroom and a public lunch area. It was all new to me!
But Jimmy encouraged me! He showed me in the Bible what I needed to do; I needed to be myself!
He reminded me of Psalm Chapter 139, where it says that I am wonderfully made by God. I was made unique, with my own feelings and personality! I didn't need to let fear of new things keep me from being who I am!
I'm the type of person who likes to learn new things, so I did the best I could on my homework.
I also wanted to learn even more! So I joined some clubs that met after school. I met some great new people, and they learned from me and I learned from them! School is a great time!
That didn't mean I didn't have problems in school, but when you have a good Biblical base in life, you know where to go when you need help. You'll know that God is always there to hear your problem and show you a way to solve it!
Have a great year at school everyone, and remember to be yourself! Be the person God made you to be!
