My Safe Place
So- I just got home from camp today. The one thing I hate about camp is leaving. I can't stand it. It makes me cry somuch, and I hate that.
But anyway- campwas amazing. It always is. Each and every time I am there I feel like a different person. But then the part that sucks is when I come home and through what I suppose is somewhat my fault but somewhat the world's, I turn into someone that I don't like. I turn into the person that thinks things that I shouldn't, and says things that I know are hurtful. And I hate that. And every year I tell myself that I'm not going to be that person, and every year the things of this earth get in my way and I sink back into that mindset.
But this year is going to be different. I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing wrong. I think that I let things get to me that I shouldn't. I know that God is all that I need, but I constantly find myself wanting to be filled with other things.
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
-Psalms 37:4
"All of you is more than enough for all of me.
For every thirst and every need. You satisfy me with your love.
And all I have in you is more than enough."
That's my challenge for the school year. To not focus on what the world offers, but fill myself with God so that I want nothing more.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful, safe summer. Begin to get prepared for the school year.
:) see ya
