Reverb!

I absolutely love going to Reverb. When I first went to my youth group, I wasn't sure what to expect. I went because I knew people there, but didn't really have a purpose. That was four years ago. Now I look forward to every Thursday so I can learn about God and about becoming a better Christian.

The first time I was at my youth group, and we did worship, I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't sing. I just stood there kind of taking everything in. Now, it's nothing like that. I sing all the songs and close my eyes and concentrate on the words that I'm singing rather than on the music, or the people, or whatever else is going on. Now, it's about focusing on God and everything he has done for us.

When I wear my Reverb sweatshirt to school, people ask me what 'Reverb' is. I tell them that it is my youth group and then they ask me if my parents make me go to it. Then I tell them no. And then they ask me this, "Why?" And for the longest time I didn't have an answer; Up until about a year ago. I realized that it wasn't just a fun thing to do but a way of growing with God and learning things I didn't learn in Religion class.

All I know is that I'm going to be VERY sad when I graduate and won't be able to go to Reverb anymore.
