P2 (peer pressure)

- everyone's doing it

- me too!

- wait for me

- it can't be that bad

These are all things we catch ourselves sometimes saying, huh? Don't you wish you never felt pressure to be cool or fit in? It would be great if we could just be ourselves and not worry about what others think. I know I wish I could be more like that! In the New Testament we see many times how Paul was great at this. In 1 Thessalonians 2: 4 (in the Message) it says:

" Be assured that when we speak to you we're not after crowd approval- only after God approval."

WOW! If only it were that easy right? Well, it is that easy. Start praying that God gives you a heart to seek after His will and His will only. Pray that you will want to walk away from crowd approval and seek what is right. I hope we can become leaders and then eventually others will want to follow us. Maybe we can set a new "peer pressure" standard. I would love to see the COOL thing that others feel pressure to do become the RIGHT thing to do.

May we be REAL GIRLS seeking after God approval.

Stay REAL!
