Well I have not updated for some time. So here I am, telling you, whomever you may be, about what's been going on with me. I have started a fast with my youth group. I did VBS. I went to the boardwalk yesterday. The Lord has been good.
First, I'll go over my fast. Matt has been talking about giving 100% to the Lord. And well, there is a Bible verse that I am very familiar with that he has used to show us what the Lord wants from us. Colossians 3:17 - "Whatever you do, whethere in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him". So what have I given up for fourty days for the Lord? That's alot of "fors". Well, I am fasting soda pop. It is something that is very much apart of my life. I have had it since I was very young. My nana used to put Pepsi inside of my bottles when I was a babay. I have been addicted to it all of my life. So to show my devotion to the Lord, I am fasting it.
VBS was last week, and man, what a week. I loved VBS so much, and I miss my kids alot. This was my first year as a leader, and I wish that VBS was two weeks because being a leader is so impactfull on your life. Your kids just grow on you, and you love seeing their happy faces. To know I helped these kids along their walk with Christ was something else. It was great. It was so hard to say goodbye to them on Friday, and I almost cried a couple of times, because I got to know these guys, and I don't want to let them go. They loved the games we played, they loved the fact that they were the best team, and they loved the fact that we wanted them to succeed. Other groups were spitefull of us, which made me question their motives behind their actions. Our leaders were Ben, Chris, Yogi, and I, and each of us loved our job and will most definately be together next year. Man, I wish I cou;d keep going, but you've probably stopped reading by now, but just know that VBS is great, and you should totally do it next year.
Yesterday we all went to the boardwalk as a group. It was an okay event. usually I have a blast, but this time was different. It wasn't so much fun for me. I especially missed Trent, because that is the one event that we always hang out at. man I miss that guy, but yeah, it was okay, like I said.
So the Lord has been great in my life, though I am very confused in alot of things he is telling me and not telling me. Like, you have no idea what is going on in my head right now because of the confusion the Lord has not taken away lol. But at the same time life is great. I just miss Trent, and I have realized that my time is coming to an end here at the youth group. This is my second to last year, and this is Trent's, Erica's, and Sarah's last year, and I'm kind of scared to lose them when they go off to college. I don't know, but it's not just them, it's the same with all of my friends who are seniors at Kennedy. It's just hard to say goodbye to people. Especially when some want to go to So Cal, and others want to go out of state. Me, I plan to stay in the Bay and attend Bethany University. I love my church family to much to say goodbye. But yeah, I'll talk to you later, whomever you may be. God bless.
