Extended Family

So I just recently discovered some new extended family. Well, not really. I always knew they existed but we never officially met. My grandfather's brother has another family in Texas City. This is where I became related to the mayor of Texas City. My dad and him are cousins. It's weird because all of the Garza's are from Galveston but they live in Texas City. Well one of the kids is a hs junior I think at TCHS and is apparently a Christian. Not one of those youth group, "christians" but like this kid has a seriously relationship with the Lord. Of course when I found out I got excited, probably too excited. The majority of my family is Catholic and they do that whole thing which is completely cool but not for me.

So I randomly stumble onto this kid's blog and his post was ridiculous. I would love to set up a hyperlinky but i'm tired and I wanted this post to be short! Anyway, the kid pours his heart out about kids at TCHS and I was shocked. I remember my freshman year of college coming home and randomly looking at myspace profiles from people in my hs and i almost wanted to cry because of the void i could see in their life. they needed Jesus and at a time where I was so in tune with what the Lord wanted me to do, my heart ached for these kids. To see someone feel the same way, I just knew that I needed to get into contact with him. Then, I realize that I'm related to this kid which is even more awesome. If there is one thing I learned in college it's how to be intentional with people and how to pursue them. I know when I was a senior in HS and was a new christian, I would've loved for someone older and more experienced to help me with stuff and so I want to do that for this kid. I mean he seems to be on the right track anyway but I would love to help. I might as well, i'm here!
