13 year old girl found what is "real cool"

Sometimes, what we think is "cool" really isn't "cool" at all. And, sometimes running isn't cowardly either. There are times when it takes great courage to run. That's what Carolyn did. She says:

"My name is Carolyn. I am 13 years old. I recently moved, and in my new home I got in with the wrong crowd. As a teenager, I just wanted to fit in. I started smoking and drinking and thought it was "cool". Deep down, I knew I was headed for trouble. One night, my boy friend wanted to get me "high" on weed. I was so scared, I flushed it and ran. Later, I went with a church youth group on a retreat. I thought it would be fun. I just was not going to pay any attention to the "religious stuff". We watched a movie about the last hours of Jesus. I then asked Jesus into my heart. That was two months ago. My life has turned around and I love God and am proud to be a Christian. I have found out what "real cool" is." "For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ..." Romans 12:1.

Carolyn.
