badboys caleb cameron cathy christian church family god highschool influence joey joy life neil parker retreat thisisliving trust youthgroup

Despite the fact that Cameron has grown up in church, he is absolutely convinced that there is no God. This almost-senior-in-high-school finds his pleasure when hanging out with his newfound "bad boy" friends and believes that he will forever be pestered by the way-too-happy-for-no-reason youth group kids. The only Christian he tolerates (and actually enjoys) being around is his 6 year old brother, Parker. After some deep (and I mean DEEP) trouble arises, Cameron has to learn the hard way that God can turn a really ugly mess into a really beautiful message.



Side Note: This story was inspired by the song "This is Living" by Hillsong Young & Free. In the Bible, John 10:10 says, "I came so they can have real and eternal life. More and better than they ever dreamed of." When our trust is in God, we don't have to worry. At all. Ever. No matter how bad it gets, God is always going to be there to pick us up when we fall. Always.Tüm hakları saklıdır

❝"Milo please tell me this is you?" "...Yea, it's me." I bitting back a smile as my arms subconsciously drifted around him. One hug. One hug wouldn't hurt. One sentimental moment wouldn't hurt. "I've missed you." He hugged tighter, and I felt like I was going to snap. "M-Me too, but you're going to fucking snap me in half if you hug any tighter." I gasped and I felt him quickly let go and pull away. "Sorry. I just didn't think I'd see you after so long." He looked at my outfit. "You changed your style." "You too." I say. He has on white shorts that has two draw strings lazily hanging, with a plain black shirt. I clear my throat, "Yea, I just wanted to say hey to my new roommate, but um- yea, see you!" I quickly dart down the stairs, my face was getting redder by the second. I didn't want him to suspect I still like him. But my wrist was caught by a hand when I made it to the living room. "Did I do something wrong?" "No, why would you think that." I try to play it off with a laugh, but it was an awkward laugh, like I was nervous. Which I was. And he clearly caught on. "Because you're literally running away." I hear walking and I look up, and shit. There was Damien. His signature dragon tattoo on his arm, the soft green eyes his and everything that made him, him. He looked up and saw us. His eyelids raised as his mouth opened a little. "Caleb... Milo?"❞ _________ 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕥𝕖𝕕 (07/28/24) 𝔼𝕟𝕕𝕖𝕕 (11/15/24)

Geekgirl531 tarafından yazılmış Love Me When I'm Unlovable adlı hikaye

Sixteen-year-old "model Christian" LeAnna Daniels is rooted in God's Word. She knows she's His Child. There's nothing she can't handle with His help. She knows every rule there is to know in the Bible. She knows exactly how to witness. Or so she thinks. Then her family takes in Rita, a wild, reckless fifteen-year-old who was orphaned and placed in foster care at the age of seven. Rita tests LeAnna in ways she never thought God would test her in. When Rita makes a terrible decision and pays the consequences, all LeAnna wants to do is scream at her, and she doesn't understand why. It's a lesson she never thought she would ever need. It's a lesson on how to love someone. Fifteen-year-old "juvenile delinquent" Rita MacKenzie is mad at the world. It's not hard to see why. A fire killed her parents when she was seven, she was separated from her siblings, and a lifetime of trauma and abuse follows her. Then she's sent to what the judge calls her last shot before shes shipped to juvie. And possibly her last chance at a family. No one wants a teenager, after all. She hates it. Strict parents and a foster sister who's constantly trying to shove religion down her throat might just be the last straw for her. But just as she begins to learn that their love- and God's love- has no strings attached, a terrible mistake has her questioning everything, especially God's love. It's a lesson Rita's been neglecting for years. It's a lesson on how to accept love, especially when you know you don't deserve it.

ShannonLeathem tarafından yazılmış Hidden Burdens adlı hikaye

Ben and his wife, Kayla, are foster parents who take in kids who have met with unfortunate circumstances and traumas in their lives. While trying to help as many as he can, Ben also struggles with his own insecurities, which can be traced back to his childhood when he lost his best friend, as well as learning to navigate his own, personal walk with Jesus. Soon, he meets Kimmy, a quiet, mute kid who reminds him so much of his childhood best friend and is afraid there's more going on than what's on the surface. But as Kimmy slowly opens up, he learns she's just a sensitive soul like him, carrying a burden she shouldn't have to carry. (This is a realistic-as-possible story while still being fictional about foster care and the kids who are placed in care. I have both researched how things for the state of Arizona's Department of Children's Services are handled and from foster parents on YouTube)

EmelySwift tarafından yazılmış I know. adlı hikaye

10 years. 10 years of hating Griffin Taylor. Luckily for me, he lives hundreds of miles away and I very rarely have to handle the knowledge he's in town for his 48 hour visits. Some supposed best friend he turned out to be. Mum and dad would have screamed at him for hours for missing the things he did. Though, Griffin Taylor never did care about other people's feelings. I always thought I wasn't apart of that rule. That I was different to him. His best friend. His rock. No call. No text, no message through his mum or his brother. Nothing. Mine and Piper's world collapsed from under us. Total strangers on the outskirts of town showed their love and support. But Griffin? He showed up 18 months later with barely a word before taking another life altering phone call. Ass. Now, 6 years after I last had the pleasure of being in his almighty presence, Piper made the overwhelming, stupid decision to invite him to her wedding. It's fine. He'll be here for his usual 48 hours and I'll find a million things to keep me out of his way so I'll barely see him. It's fine. Not a problem. I can handle it. Piper wants him here, Piper wants her family here and I guess, with no one else, the Taylor's are family. For Piper I'll keep my thoughts to myself, I'll smile and I'll be the good Christian I am. But as far as I care, Griffin Taylor can rot. In. Hell.

pricelesstrashpanda tarafından yazılmış Rise (Colton Dixon) adlı hikaye

When she was little, Alexis had it all. Rich parents who she believed in her heart loved her more than anything else, a huge house, a Nanny to take care of her while her parents were at work, and anything else she needed or wanted. And then, one night that she thought would be like all the others tore all of that apart. Now, she and her mother barely make enough to stay alive, their poverty heavily due to her mom's nights in the bar, forgetting about life. Younger siblings come, then leave in abortion, through Alexis's mother's love life, and the one person she'd actually learned to trust again is newly dead by cancer. And her mother has just remarried the person she used to call "Daddy". Her only real friend is the razor that stays in her pocket or on her arm through the thick and the thin of life. Then, while her parents are on their honeymoon after getting remarried, with nothing to do and oblivious of the religion... or relationship... behind the bands she's going to see, Alexis goes to a little concert by the name of Winter Jam, with no real concept of what she's seeing besides a love of Skillet, a bare idea of Britt Nicole, and the songs she listens to by NF on her way there. When a chance meeting with a stranger turns into getting drug to the meet-and-greet line for a not-so-chance meeting with Colton Dixon, Alexis has no idea that it will change her life forever. But with a leading of Holy Spirit on his heart, and a glimpse of Alexis's arms under her sleeves burning in his memory, Colton finds it impossible to stand oblivious to the downward spiral he can see in Alexis's life. But it's a spiral she gave into long ago, and it will take every ounce of strength either of them has in them for Alexis to rise above the world and into the arms of Christ.

I honestly didn't realize how broken I was. I just figured that if I shut all my feelings out that they would go away. They didn't. They came back strong as ever. And I did the worst thing that I could do. I let my feelings get the best of me. My daddy told me to never let anyone walk over me. And yet that is exactly what everybody does. It's like he knew that this was gonna happen like he wanted me to be prepared. Too bad I didn't listen. And now no one's here to help me. And then the new kid comes along. Jake Johnson. He caught my eye the first time I saw him. I can look at him and tell that he had a story. And I wanted to know it. He helped me in a way that I thought nobody else could. He was there for me when no one else was . Now it's my turn, to be there for him. I will not let my feelings or emotions get in the way of me helping someone that I love. Join me, Charlie Campbell, on my ride through a lot of different emotions but overall Finding who you belong with. #846 in Short Story. 7/22/17 #150 in Short Story. 8/3/17 This is my first story! I will editing the entire story, so bear with me!

GirlBlessed7 tarafından yazılmış Passing Notes (Undergoing Editing) adlı hikaye

Greetings, readers! This book is currently undergoing revision, so if you see a bunch of notifications for this book, or if you remember something that isn't there anymore, that's probably why. However, I plan on writing new chapters as well, so be sure to check! --- #6 in #passingnotes #4 in #passingnotes -- 12/27/24 --- It's not easy being the new kid. Autumn Bolk knows the feeling well. She's been "the new kid" about five million-gazillion times by now, thanks to her dad being re-stationed about every two years. It's pretty much the same every time: - pack up (only the important stuff!) - move houses - find a church - settle in (comfy) - find a friend (or two) - leave again (try to keep in touch) Number five million-gazillion and one shouldn't be any different. Right? Wrong. What if, this time, her friends are more than just contacts on her phone list? What if her church family really feels like family? What if she doesn't want to leave this time?

Grayson Getter's daughter, Lonette, was once as doted and loving as a daughter could be. Raising her as a widowed dad, Grayson was certain that Lonette would be a dedicated woman of God, as devoted to God as she had been to her father. All that changed by the time she turned thirteen years old and began to discover how "uncool" it was to have such a close relationship with both her heavenly and earthly fathers. Their relationship deteriorates until, after an argument, Lonette suddenly leaves her father's house and moves in with her boyfriend. Grayson feels immediate regret and pines to have his daughter return home again. But he refuses to seek her out, believing that, just as she had made the decision to move out, she must make the decision to return. Moreover, he felt the Lord urging him not to interfere in any way. Unbeknownst to him, his daughter has discovered some disturbing things about her boyfriend and is now in danger. Will her father obey God and allow things to run their course? Or will he break down and try to contact her, especially since a D.C. cop has given him the heads-up that she might be in danger?
