So lately I have been very disappointed in the senior class at Northwood this year. At both home football games they have dressed up but have not come prepared for anything else. What really grinds my gears about this is that they are not prepared to cheer. For example we have a junior leading some of the cheers, sad. Half of the game the seniors carry on their own conversations and barely pay any attention. The junior and few seniors leading the cheers start the cheers at the worst times, while a team is in the huddle for example, just totally random and pointless spots in the game. They make the game no fun to watch or join in with the few cheers we have.
At the same time I'm considering myself a hypocrite while saying all this. Since school started I have struggled with doing my T.A.W.G. (time alone with God). I have even listened to some little lies that satan throws at me through some days. I have realized it is tough to live sold out for God at school to start out with but it is even tougher when you are not spending any time with Him. It is about time I realize this before it is too late. You may not think spending time with God makes any improvement right away but the act and making it a habit goes a long long way.
I look at the seniors and say they don't want it. I look at the beginning of my school year and say I don't want it. This is no more. I want it and I know where I'm going I will not be afraid to step up. Jesus said "Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for me." I will see my friends in heaven some day and will not let them cave into satan's lies.
