It’s not easy being a teenager in today’s world. Sure, it’s *never* been easy navigating one’s teenage years–it’s always a liminal phase between childhood and adulthood, a road paved with awkwardness and uncertainty.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father’s house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you?
