Spring break in the middle

Since Monday I am in Spring Break. And I am exactly in the middle of my spring semester, so in three months I will welcome myself home.
Spring break has been boring. No big plans here. Only the upcoming gospel meeting where I hope many people go. It will be a fun party (not the party idea you have in mind, no).

About parties...luckily I have only been in a few involving alcohol and other drugs. I remember at school there was always the thing about salir on Fridays which I never took part. And don't let me begin with the class parties, where luckily I have only been in one. Alcohol and smoking are poisoning youngsters (I sound old) and I am glad that I didn't really get involved in that.

Even though before I became a Christian, I didn't party because I was shy. And I am glad. Shyness is a blessing. My parents didn't really congratulate me for staying Friday nights at home. But I kind of felt left out. What was the reward?

Now that I have been baptized and became officially part of Christ's body, I have reviewed my past so I can think about the future. Even though it seems that I didn't get any fun in my school times, I have been rewarded by God secretly. He has blessed me with a healthy and sober conscience. I wouldn't have this if I were partying all my school life.

Is school partying that bad? Actually yes. Do you imagine Jesus in a class party, drinking and dancing? Jesus commanded us to be like Him, to maintain our bodies clean because that is the Holy Spirit's temple.

Is it so hard to be like Him? Yes. He is the narrow path, and any who has the courage to walk on it will be greatly rewarded.

I don't exactly know why I am taking time of my spring break to comment of my boring school past where I did not have "fun". Well, maybe I would like to share it to youngsters one day. And to my children.
