Katie's prayer: Jaci Velasquez' "Show You Love"

Don't wanna get up in your face

Don't wanna put the pressure on

Don't wanna make you run away

Just wanna show you love

Don't wanna beg you to believe

Don't wanna take you for a ride

Don't wanna sell you anything

Just wanna show you love

Sometimes I get the feeling that some of my teens try to avoid me. It's like they think I'm going to get up in their faces, put the pressure on, beg them to believe, etc. That maybe I won't understand them, listen to them. That I'm just going to force my beliefs down their throats until they believe it too. I'm not quite sure how to tell them that all I want to do is show them love. Yes, I want them to come to youth group events. But not so I can force beliefs, but so I can show them the love of Jesus! I just wish that those teens who are avoiding me would realize this.

P.S. I think I just found my new theme song for life. (:
