Just Beginning

Hi! So this is my first post. I don't really know what you all want to hear from me or if anyone even reads this. But, I have a lot of thoughts that need to get out. The problem is, I don't like sharing personal things with people. So I thought maybe this way, I don't have to share them with anyone. They're just out there for the public to see and no one really knows who I am. I like it that way. So here goes:

My mom keeps telling me that I'm selfish and rude and a brat etc. All the insults she keeps piling on me and being grounded all the time when I'm honestly not quite sure what I did...it's driving me insane! I know I must sound like just another teenager...but honestly I've been trying to figure out for years what I did that was so bad. I don't mean to be a nuisance...

The verse from my Bible study today is Matthew 25:40 which says, "When you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!" (NIV) 

To me, this verse means that like when we care for anyone even a stinky hobo and show kindness to them, we are blessing God. So I'm gonna challenge myself to show kindness to everyone I see today. Even people I can't stand. I need prayer to help me be kind to my family when I can't help but feel so hurt from them....
