Strength In Our Differences

What is it with bullying? I've never understood it. You could either be bullied for a little amount of time, in between or long amount of time. Some people who get bullied bully others themselves to make people laugh and to be in a clique. Or why does a kid get bullied when he or she is minding his or her own business? Why do we examine whatever he or she does and feel the need to tell the class about them and laugh at them? WHY DO WE DO THAT!? We bully because we are human, but how do we improve that and stop making people make fun of others? We need to stick up for our brothers and sisters. I got bullied for about 2 years. Extremely hard times. Me coming home crying all the time, kicking the wall to let out my anger, and other things that just made me mad. When I got bullied I noticed other people that got bullied and stood up for them. Now that I don't get bullied, as a Christian I am more determined to make people notice how they are treating people wrong. And now...

I have lived in a community for my whole life. My home knows so much about homelessness, racism, violence all over, and other terrible things. But I am thankful that I know all of these things. I want to pray for the people that are hurting inside from all the problems we have in this World. And I want to help those who need our shoulders to help them get back up. Some places that I have gone and they have no idea about how the homeless go to jail from using the bathroom on the street. They don't have a bathroom! What were they supposed to do?! Or right by my house, there was a place where the homeless slept under a bridge. Well, some people decided to kick them out of the bridge. To keep them out they put a biking path on both sides! Even though there is a biking path right by it! I don't know much about this world and its problems, but I'm glad that I know a good amount to pray for those who are struggling in their lives.         ...

Some people think homeless people are violent. but most of the people I meet are so generous and loving. My dad (Jeremy Nicholls) and I walked under the bridge which was a place where a lot of homeless people went to sleep and get away from the bad weather. I loved going down there. Everybody was so kind to us. Sometimes when I go down to the bridge and they would just give me treats, pillows, and other things that you would think homeless people wouldn't give to me...FALSE! Some come up and give me big hugs. Most of the people under the Bridge are close friends. One very good friend of mine that lived down there but now he is housed😁😁😁😁😁😁!!! But it was his birthday and I made about 15 cookies for him he was extremely grateful and felt so loved by that. What I want you to know is that the homeless are kind loving people, so don't be rude to them because you are afraid for no important reason. So be kind to others! This is my good friend who is now housed! ...

What would life be like if there was no pain? Instead of anger, there would be peace, frustration, there would be joy, and so on. Wouldn't that be a world where everybody would be at peace and happiness? I would love to live that life for a day. Not forever. All the problems we get in our life teaches a lesson and without those problems, we would be clueless! When I went to a new School it was a huge change from my old school. I was really shy, some of that stuff they were teaching I didn't understand a lot of it, A lot more homework than at my old school, it was really hard being the new kid. I was in a lot of pain then. I was overly stressed with all the new things that I was learning, things that I didn't understand. And to add more to that is I have anxiety. When there's a test coming up, even if it's a small one, I would flip out! I was in so much pain. But the idea of God being there with me makes me feel peaceful and loved by our beautiful God and his bea...

When it's Christmas you think of the presents you buy for your friends and family, eating loads of food, getting a Christmas tree and so on. But guess what, there are people outside who don't have a place to be around the people they love. Instead, they ask for money and try to sleep on the sidewalk, trying not to freeze as big snowflakes cover their bodies.  What would it be like if you slept in cold weather and try to not turn into an icicle? And they have no food to keep their stomach full. Their poor stomaches are aching for food and a good fresh glass of water. During this cold weather, give them something to warm their fragile bodies. Pray for them because they might think they are alone during this Christmas season, but make sure that they are not alone. God is with them during this struggling time.
