Now I can...
Trade these ashes in for beauty
And wear forgiveness like a crown
Coming to kiss the feet of mercy
I lay every burden down
At the foot of the cross
Pastor always finds the most amazing, epic worship songs and I just really want to say that I'm really thankful for him, and he is such a blessing to the church.

What the... Sumo wrestler?
So..... I'm looking at the new blogger...
I really don't know if I like it or not.
Maybe it's because I usually just prefer old formats... but I probably just need to get use to it.
Tomorrow is another day of the day camp.
I'm so tired...
Sitting has never felt better, and I really enjoy the little moments where I get to spend some time to myself.
Here are a few things that I really need to keep in mind:
I must keep God first. As busy as I feel, and as tired as I feel.. I need to stop making excuses for putting Him aside. If I want to level up, I gotta go for it, chase after it and do something about it.
I need to stop making excuses about which kids I'm going to give up communicating with. To be very honest, I don't have favourites. I just have ones that I prefer over others. This past week has made me realize just how much I like spending time with these kids and listening to what they like and what kind of things they enjoy doing. It makes me miss being a kid............. even though I was a very shy kid, those years were fun.
I should sleep earlier and stop going out so late... Even though it's summer and everything, I need the rest to keep up with the rest of them litto kiddens.
That is all for today. Tomorrow is the start of the second week.
I'm exhausted already.

Who's the King of the Jungle?
9-5 from Mondays to Wednesday + 43 kinds + about 8-10 volunteers + 3 stressed leaders = ..... I'd have to say... it's been a very good first 3 days.
We'll take out the parts where we screwed up on bits and pieces and we get something really fantastic.
The kids have reeked havoc already, I feel the pressure already, but I'm just glad this is happening.
I'm glad I'm getting out of my comfort circle, even though that's a strange thing to say.... but really, i'm happy that i'm learning how to organize certain things, getting to help these kids grow, and doing something I feel pretty satisfying at the end of the day.
I'm already sunburned, I need to drink more water, I am currently loving the silence.... And I am enjoying waking up early in the morning to see these kids.
This is definitely a smiley face moment.
I just really really hope my allergies go away though.
You know what's so great about God? He's always so providing. I gotta say... Even though I dont have a lot of volunteers, the quality of each and every single one of them makes up for the lack in numbers. They are so amazing and I just really appreciate every single one of them. Thanks all!!!!!
So.... Let's get the week over with and I can't wait to see a new batch of kids next week =)

Up, up, and beyond!
He comes through every single time. It amazes me every single time God answers a prayer that I have in my heart. From having DVBS be full for the 6 weeks to passing a course I need to stay in my faculty... It's very encouraging.
There are still a lot of things that need to be done for the day camp, and a lot of organizing that needs to be put in place but I know we'll be able to make it through because I know that the God that I know is a faithful God, and we'll be alright. He's the only thing that I can trust in right now, and everything will fall in to place, He promised.
I know that these past few months of planning, getting ideas and such... it didn't come from me, because I know what I'm capable of doing and how much I trust myself, and it definitely isn't enough to get where we are today.
How these 6 weeks go are in God's hands now.
In these 6 short weeks, I really want to see the kids grow. Even the ones that come for one week. I want to see the kids move in God. THAT would be amazing.
God, keep these kids safe, keep them motivated to participate in the activities, keep them attentive in their lessons and I pray that the lessons will soak in and impact their lives. I want to see happy kids, I want to see kids who are excited to come back the next day or the next week, and I want to see these kids enjoy what we have planned for them.
I'm so excited, so nervous and at the same time I'm pretty darn scared. I'm scared I won't be good at disciplining, and I'm scared I can't make an impact. So, these things I'll leave to God too. They definitely aren't in my power to do.
So...
HERE WE GO!
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart
Bless Your name, bless Your name, Jesus
And the deeds of the day and the truth in my ways
Speak of You, speak of You, Jesus
For this is what I'm glad to do
It's time to live a life of love that pleases You
And I will give my all to You
Surrender everything I have and follow You
I'll follow You
Lord, will You be my vision, Lord, will You be my guide
Be my hope, be my light and the way
And I'll look not for riches, nor praises on earth
Only You'll be the first of my heart
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow You
