Heaven

There is a place that I have heard of all through my childhood, even before I can remember.
No one really knows where it lies.
Some say it is way up in the sky and

some say it is way out to sea where no one has ever gone before.

Many people ask when and how you get to heaven.

Some say you have to die, some say you can't do anything wrong, some say you can't eat certain things, and some say you just die and go to heaven just like that. 

Not many people know the true answer to the commonly asked question. 

How do you get to Heaven?

Do you believe in God?

Do you obey your parents?

Do you love others as much as you love your self?

Do you believe that God sent Jesus to save us from our sins?

It is so hard to try and live a perfect life.

Many have tried and even more have failed. 

Because no one is perfect we are all human; human nature is weak and easily fails, but God is always there to help you get back on the right track if you will just let him lead you there.

The true and only way to get to Heaven is to believe that God sent his one and only son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins, so that we do not have to suffer for all our sins.

Believe that God is always there and that 

He will never leave you or forsake you in all your follies and failures, 

and through Him and only Him you can get to Heaven. 

So yes heaven does exist.

But you have to Believe in God for you to ever see all it's glory.

For Jesus is preparing a place for you in Heaven.

And all you have to do is Believe.

!!Believe!! 

Because heaven does exist and it is waiting for you.

Believe and you will see heaven.

Stand up for what you believe in

"Hey Lexie, do you want to come over to my house later on for the party?"

My friend Susanna asked as she caught up to me in the hall.

"Who all will be there?"

I asked as I walked to the cafeteria.

"Well you know. Lots of people will be there."                                                                        

"It sounds like fun. Sure I'll be there at your party."

I said as I sat at our lunch table.

As I walked out the door of school, I headed for my mom who was waiting to pick me up.
"Hey mom!" I said as I hopped into the car.
"Hey Lexie, how was school today?" She said as she started the car.
"It was fine. By the way, Susanna asked me if I would like to go to her house for a party tonight. Is that alright with you?"
My mom paused for a second before replying "Sure, what time will it be over and when does it start?"
"One sec I'll ask her." I said as I pulled out my phone and text-ed Susanna.
"She says it is from 8pm to 12am."
Mom seemed distant for a moment.
"Mom?"
"Oh sorry Lexie, yes I think you are responsible enough for this now."
"Thanks mom!"

Six hours later I arrived at Susanna's house.
"Hey Lexie, I'm glad you could make it." Susanna said as she came and hugged me.
We walked inside.
"Where are your parents?"
"Oh they are not here, they are in Seattle."
"Are you sure that you should be throwing a party when your parents aren't here?"
"It's fine."

Then the rest of the people arrived.
Practically the whole student body was there.
Then it all got out of hand.

Two hours later.
"Susanna, this is getting way to wild and out of hand."
"Oh relax, its all good."
Then one of the students brought out some cigarettes and started passing them around to the students.
"Hey, Lexie right? Do you want one?"
"No, I don't smoke."
Some of the other students came over and joined the conversation.
"Oh come on, don't be a baby!" One said.
"What are you a momma's girl?" Another said.
"No I don't smoke."
I said firmly and turned to try and go out the door.
One of them cornered Lexie and tried to force her to smoke.
Another tried to seduce her into doing it.

She Finally had enough and went out the door.

She walked in the pouring rain for ten miles till she got home completely drenched.


Lexie stood firm on what she believed in, and did not sway.
Even though everyone else was. 


If she can do it, then you can do it

Stand up for what you believe in!!
