Roller coaster; where's God in all this?

Mood swings. For me it means being intensely passionate about dancing, singing, music, etc. and feeling like I'm junk the next. Sometimes... you can't put it into words, but you just feel like you could burst with all this emotion... and once you get excited about something you feel like you have to take action NOW before it goes away! Oh, the teenage years... what if all this feeling, passion, tears, joy and action could be powered towards God? Wow, would that be powerful! How can we be set free from these feelings, and let them flow through us? For me, dance is a big "rollercoaster" relief. How better then to express your feelings through the beautiful movements of ballet? Or maybe some other hobby you have... words cannot express what a young person feels as they mature and grow from a child to an adult. Wow, how scary it would be if all parents would let their teens run free... unchecked and unguarded. How sad! For we have little self control or protection when let loose at such an age and then confronted with things that make our hearts race... will you join me in saying: THANK YOU MOM AND DAD! Thanks for saying no. Thanks for guiding me... I love you!

So every time I have that... "surge", I do dance, and sing, and express my feelings, but at the same time I pray that God would power these feelings towards Him... this is my prayer tonight; that all those kids just like me who are feeling a little excited tonight, that they would also long for such a feeling towards God.

Okay... so I guess you can kind of express what you feel in words... just a little...
