All the small things.
It was an awesome week of listening to sermons, hanging out with my brothers, worshipping God with the guitar and reading the Word of God. How sad that it is all coming to and end. My MC ends today, so I have to return to camp on Sunday. What a bore! =(
Series of events have come and gone. The tides of life carries a person on. Either to a place unknown or back home.
In the unknown places, the a person is faced with the difficulties of adapting to his surroundings and environment. To survive he has to brave dangers and be strong. Physically he has to strive on against hunger, the strains of work and injuries. Emotionally he has to harden his mental defense, to stay focus and stay sane, for it is easy to lose one's mind in the whirlpool caused by loneliness and desolute. Time has no place. The days are marked with the rising and setting of the Sun.
I'm not writing that because I'm faced with a similar situation. It is all over anyway if it did happen. And I believe I'm safe back at home now. Time to settle the feelings and thoughts and emotions and go back to living.
"Father God in heaven, I pray that even as I choose to run after You Jesus, to die to myself daily and pick up the Cross, to decrease in every area of my life that You may increase, I hope that You would change me in character and speech. Let my tongue not be used to hurt and tear down, but be used to encourage and build up, to edify and counsel. Let my heart be filled with joy, peace and hope and not of malice and anger and impulsiveness. Let my attitude be of discipline and perseverance, trusting You to unfold Your plans ultimately as I be obedient and follow You. Live Your life through me Oh Jesus Christ. Make me a true Man of God in all aspects. A Man of God is a true gentleman because the fruits of the Holy Spirit is love and gentleness. I need your grace in this Oh Lord. Help me. In Jesus' Name I pray. AMEN."
