Qwestion #1 Letting God and Others Down

This is the first question posed on the blog................

I thought I would be this great Christian going back to school but I find myself hanging out with the same crowd and doing the same things as they do. I feel like I've let God down and others down. What do I do?

thats a really heard thing to go through.. honestly I havnt had any expierence going through that because my friends are always there to encourage me (+i got to a christian private school) But one thing I do know is that you havnt let God down He knows you'll go through some rough spots but He's there to pick you back up and get you back along your path. You know when parents watch there child trying to walk so hard but they fall. The parent will get beside them and help them up and encourage them to try again. And about hanging out with the "same crowd" you can't let them influence you if there not the greatest of people (if there a questionable group) and if you know you might be influenced by them i would just tell them "hey guys i've got something to do" or maybe(striving for the right words to say sorry) just tell them you might not be hanging out with them as much.. i mean dont be mean about it just kinda have a good influence on them and make sure they dont influence you in the negative way. I hope i helped. I know you can get through it! :D With the Lord all things are possible.

well your right saying no and sorry would be good but then they will think that you dont like them any more try a different approach. like influencing them for a change. and dont let them get you to discouraged because you always go through rough times. look at elijah he had to hide in a cave and eat mana for a while because somebody was trying to kill him. but did that get him down?
