I just watched this video. One of my Young kids had posted it online. This song has always been a song that reminded me of these feelings that this boy expressed.
I so feel for this kid and yet I so admire him to be brave enough to put this out there. A lot more kids than we realize are going through stuff like this and it just tears me up to see. I was just thinking today how much I bet there are hurting kids like this in Slave Lake and I want to try and reach out to them in any way I can. In high school I struggled with thoughts of feeling down like these and from talking to other kids today - more kids than ever are going through this mental battle. In my life - God has stood in the way of me hurting myself more times than I can count and it is through my relationship with Jesus that I have come to feel so loved and confident in who I am. It has also been through mentors, people in my life who have reached out to me in spite of my social awkwardness, or shyness, or upfrontness and been willing to love me in spite of myself. I want to be that kind of person to someone else who is hurting and I would challenge others to do the same. God bless...
