A youth to me is a call of it's own nature. There's a difference in becoming a youth and being a youth. Yours is becoming. Simply because we are still under influence.
Like any other vocation, becoming a youth needs an understanding from 2nd and 3rd party. Those above us are supposed to walk in our own way. Just like what St. Augustine says in defining grace;- we need a power above us to burst within us so that we may actualize our being youth.
I must admit that you touched my life when every time I see you sacrifice to come for practice towards your forthcoming festivals and sports. That's a true sacrifice that all should acknowledge of you. It should be misunderstood that as youths there's a lot of time, rather it matters how that time is spent.
Our becoming youths is a desire driven to attain that which is beyond us. Some desire how to please the bodies, others desire how to please the Spirit.
This week I watched 10/10 show by Willis Raburu on Citizen Tv, and was touched by the confidence Vera Sidika had when interviewed by Willis. Though she has many enemies according to her, she said she learned how to handle them long ago. When asked if being someone's role model, Vera asserted that she doesn't wish simply bcoz she undergoes a lot that many don't know.
We all have that idea of being someone after some years, it's good to be more than that someone. To be means to try actulize the present. There's no vocation attained at maturity, in either way, every vocation is nurtured from firm foundation.
Dear friends, your look is an indicator of a society that truly want change...we may see some kind of boredom in our liturgy...maybe kind of songs, mode of preaching or even some talks. These elements though Spiritual and in whatever situation, we need them as we desire to be what we want.
For instance, the Liturgy of the Church requires decorum. There's nothing less in matters our faith. Just like any other activity and as you've done from 11:30AM, preparation is a must. Most of all discipline of time is not debatable.
I exhort you dear friends that in your own capacity, choose what to give God without coercion or force. Let what you want come from within, let our desires be guided always by the light of our faith.
I thank you all for your audience and wishing you God's blessings in your endeavors.
