insight
i really dont know how to begin theres so much i want to say. this week has been really therapeutic for me. i learned how to love the people that i couldnt before. one day sittin in church the preacher was talking about love and how god is love and he read 1 corinthins 13:4-7 "love is patient, love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. it does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. it bears all things, hopes all things, endures all things." my dad has never been one who told me he loved me or hugged me, and its always been so hard because i was so envious of other people that had that with their fathers. but now i love my dad, maybe i dont tell him i love him or hug him still but i dont have that rage against him. my mom said she noticed a big change in me, that im happier and we dont argue as much. everytime i get angry i just have to remember that love can not be provoked.
Extreme Sports Camp
This past week ive been doing a sports camp for little kids. its been nothing short of awesome. i was able to connect with the kids better than ever before. it was so great to have one kid hangin on my leg the other on my other leg one around my waist one on my back and one right smack up against me in front. i love all of them so much. i got to meet one of their mothers and she hugged me and said thankyou, but i honestly didnt do anything but let god work through me and i was able to love them as if they were mine. one kid was so cute, hes 4, he came on stage and i was like "dalton are you gonna give me a hug?" he said "YEAH!" and hugged me so i picked him up and he kissed me on the cheek! it was so adorable! i miss them even with the countless threats of fights on the basketball court the week was very rewarding. but now its time for me to rest finally! haha!
