You’re Only Young Once (YOYO)

Key verse: Ecclesiastes 11:9 “Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth.

Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.”

Enjoy it with all your heart and soul, because your teen years will one day be a memory in history and never come back. Take pictures, keep a journal, etc. Don't you want to remember the good times of

high school, not the drama and bad times.

Please be a smart and safe driver when you are learning/getting your license. Never drink and drive. It will scar you forever if you do something you wish

you didn't.

Don't pretend to be something you're not, eventually people are going to realize

you're not being sincere. Get ideas from that person, but don't try to be like that

person.

Don't dress sloppy because it can get you into trouble, and don't wear too much

makeup because it makes you look bad! Show your natural beauty!

Exercise! It helps with stress, and may even make you happier than usual.

Many teens have trouble understanding that one does not have to have a

boyfriend or girlfriend to have a good teen life.

Many singles are having fun, too. Being single will give you more time for your friends, your activities, your education,

your job, and your hobbies.

You have all your life to be in a relationship. Maybe it might be the best advice to get your act together before

you consider dating, and you may have a lot more picking when you are in college and in the real world when you are less

focused on popularity.

Listen to your parents. They know what It's like, and they can help you.

The message of YOYO is to make young people aware of the time

we have now and what we can do with it versus what we are actually doing with it.

So many young people are in a hurry to do “grown up” things that we don’t realize we are wasting the advantage of NOW.

From around 18 years old to sometime late 20’s, we are actually at our fittest, most able stage.

Why rush the years of marriage, family life, and everything else that comes along when we can deal with that in our 30’s?

Why not use the most able, most vibrant of years to actually do something we can’t anymore manage to do as much when we’re tied down with…

… spouses and children and bills to take care of?

This energized, “free” phase of our lives is the best time to plant the trees we want to see in the future, the best time to invest in things (or people!) that can outlive our lives.

It is the best time to culture a breed of new leaders to take our place and continue what we’ve started.

Basically our message to the young people would be … “Whoever you are, whatever you’re doing in life right now, whenever you hear God’s call, and wherever you may be – you’re only young once. Use it well. Live for the next generation.”

John the Baptist
