NINJA!!!

Yeah, I don't know what it is with ninjas these days, but they keep popping up everywhere in my life.

The Difference...

I got up early one morning
and rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me,
and heavier came each task.
"Why doesn't God help me?" I wondered.
He answered, "You didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on, gray and bleak;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, "But you didn't seek."

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"My child, you didn't knock."

I woke up early this morning,
and paused before entering the day;
I had so much to accomplish
that I had to take time to pray.

Wow, this spoke volumes to me. I could relate with this poem so well. Sadly, I have sometimes failed to seek God at the beginning of my day. Or when I do take the time to talk to Him, I find myself doing all of the talking. But I want my relationship with God to be something more. When I read my Bible, I'd like to sit quietly before Him and listen to what He has to say. And also when I pray, I don't just want to be talking at Him with a list of what I'd like. He knows so much better than I do. All I want to do is listen.

I have been searching for a summer job, and I was recently asked if I am interested in being a cabin leader at the Kenosee camp. I'm not sure if I'll be accepted or not (for I don't have any experience with camps at all). If I do go, I'll definitely be putting all of my trust in God. Maybe working in Kenosee is what He wants me to do for the summer. It sounds like fun. I'm a bit hesitant with phoning the camp, though. For anyone reading this, prayer would be appreciated. I really want to follow God's lead . . and if that means working at the camp - or perhaps even somewhere else - then I would like to do so. Thanks.

Have a great night...or morning...or both! I'm catching me some z's :)

Grad was good

Wow, I haven't added a post on here for quite a while. I've been pretty busy. Last week, my dad and I were hanging out a lot because he was in town for my grad. Before I knew it, grad night had come and gone, and the next day I saw my sister again for the first time in a month. It's all been pretty exciting. And I've been slightly busy. Slightly. So here's the thing, I've got pictures from grad night, but our family doesn't own a digital camera . . . so I can't post those ones for you. Sorry. However, my sister took a picture of me in my grad dress with her digital camera the night before she left for New York . . . so here you go. We were having fun while taking photos.



I found a really pretty picture of a sunset, too. I'm a fan of them (sunsets and sunrises). Check out this sweet picture!



Isn't that beautiful? God's so amazing!!!

Well, I'm going to head out now. Have to get my room a bit more organized, finish my resume so I can hopefully a summer job, etc. You know, the usual. I'll see ya later!
