Seven times seventy times

The world will try to battle for my heart... 
But the war is already won.

 I've been listening to Chris August lately and I really like his music, it's all so different. I am really liking it quite a bit. So, DVBS is done.. Wow, those 6 weeks that I thought were so long and tiresome is over.. And to be quite honest I do miss the kids, even the ones that I had to pray extra hard to love... Hah, just kidding, I honestly loved seeing each and every single one of their faces at one point inthe 6 weeks =P it leaves me with a bitter/sweet feeling. I'm glad that these 6 weeks are over because I was very very tired and I was looking forward to rest (even though summer camp wa just around the corner). But I was pretty sad to see the kids leave one by one out of the church... I mean, might never see some of these kids ever again and each of them had left a mark in my life. I'm suppose to have had this role of being the one to teach the kids about God and touch their lives with some Jesus but in turn I was really touched by these kids. And it was just a bit upsetting. 

Summer camp is over too.. It's pretty weird how everything is over. But like S said, there's no such thing as burning out, there is however, getting low on God, and what better thing to do than to be refilled? =)
It's been a tiring 2 months, the things that I got from camp has truly been a blessing to me, and camp gave me more than I expected. The effects of camp are still working in me now !

I do need to work on this thing called forgiveness and this thing called patience... Oooh and this thing called love. These three things... I really want to push myself to work on. Sometimes I just get consumed by these things. Just holding a grudge for extreme amounts of time, overthinking things when things take too long (I just end up going crazy), and the last thing of having this lack of love that ranges from people to the things that I really should appreciate more.
There is one more thing too... It's a pretty big one.
God... I really pray that you help me with this one. The one called...
Letting go.
Letting go of the things that hinder me from walking closer to you, the things that drag me far away from You.
Things like anger and selfishness.
What more do I need aside from You?
Help me place You above all else. =)
