I'm very well aware that there's a prayer section, but it's been so inactive that I wasn't sure anyone would take notice if I posted.
Besides...
This is kind of a 'right now' thing.
I'll be seeing them again in a week and..
Well... I'll just post.

Hey...
Let's go back.
Back to when Pajama pants ruled,
when 'emo' wasn't just another mass fad.
Back to when we didn't care about anything else
except being with eachother.

Back to when we didn't have the electric guitars, the bass, the drums, the keyboards...
When there were one or two acoustic guitars,
and all those pretty voices.
When we cared about making a sound,
not a performance.

There was no 'us' and 'them'.
There was only 'all of us together',
sitting in a circle,
huddling together,
singing those beautiful, simple songs.

We weren't a rock band, (we're still not a rock band)
we were kids being happy.
It was us, guitars, and God.
It was spiritual, it was pure.

Hey...
Let's go back to our roots,
and leave this stuff behind.
<3


... And that's how it is.
Please pray that I can work up the courage to say this to my youth group.

We're falling appart, we know it, and worse yet, we're losing sight of why we're there.

Pray that I'll get through to them, and that we can finally get it together again.

I really think God's showed me how ridiculous we've gotten for a reason.
So...
Please keep my broken youth group in prayer?

Love,
Lemon

I tried to bring it up tonight and tell the leader for our youth worship one on one,
but I got interrupted with my mum trying to help.
I'm not sure if any of you know this, but I get extremely nervous when talking with him.
Why?
Let's leave that part out.
But anyway...
I got the topic out, and the basics of what we should do, but I never got to say why. Mostly because I was so frustrated and nervous at the same time that I didn't know how to get back on track, my mind just didn't want to work and I just kind of left. Well... Retreated...

I'm going to try and calm down and call him and talk about it more, even if it would mean more in person.

9-16, 9:37 pm
So, I called him.
Calling him was a little better than talking to him in person. Well, for me anyway.
ANYWAY...
He took it well, and he said he feels the same.
So...
This is it.
Our youth worship band is officially no more.
We're going back to our roots.

Thank you for the prayer,
now we need to tell the youth group.
*fingers crossed*

Thanks again,
Love,
Lemon

Whoa, Lemon, if that doesn't get through to them i don't know what will—except God of course. You're a really good writer and you should read it to them.

I get what you mean about the subforums being a little inactive...we should change that.

But altoghther, I'll keep you in my prayers.
There's always room for Rainbowz!
Good luck!

Thanks guys, it really means a lot to me that you'll keep this in your thoughts and prayers. =]

The quote was actually an excerpt from a bunch of letters I write and never intend to send.
But I think I will 'read' it to them.
:3

And yeah, we should really be active on the subforums too.
I mean, they cost gold. XD We should at least use them.

Glad to hear that you were able to tell your pastor and he heard you out. That has to be the first sign of things changing for the better. I smile thinking about it, you did a good thing by talking to him.
Most of the time, people just leave. It was so great that you didn't just leave.


I wish I could have posted sooner, and prayed as well. But I can still pray for the youth group to receive it exactly as they should, and for the life of your youth group to be restored.

Keep giving us updates! I'll keep praying!

Thanks Salty. ^_^ And actually, we still don't have a youth pastor. sweatdrop
Nope, Kinkaju'sRevenge (the one I had to speak with) is actually just the worship leader for the youth group, not the youth pastor.
It was like... Having a band, but playing for the youth group... Or something. o.0;
But now we don't have it. XD
