Battle Over My Soul

Tugging me apart
Trying to win my heart

Aching, pulling me left and right
Continuing pain, day and night

Doing right was never easy
It seemed painful, ugly and even cheesy

What my body longs for
Seems fun, relaxing and not at all harmful

Deep inside me, I knew what to do
As hard as it was, I did what is true

Help me Abba, take control
I don’t want my heart to become hard and dull

He takes the lead, and ends the fight
He is my shield, protector and my light

My soul and spirit unite as one
The war is complete, God has won.

Hello. I haven't been on for awhile, so I decided to come back on. My life has been amazing, but I've been so busy. I just finished an exciting camp called BYBC. BYBC is a BackYard Bible Club, in which we got to...

1. Minister to children in many different neighborhoods.

2. Build better relationships with others around me.

3. Grow closer to God, and worship him.

4. Have 45 minute quiet times!!

5. Build up our acting skills.

6. Grow confident in leading worship and teaching Bible verses.

7. Eat great food.

8. Listen to amazing speakers.

and much, much more.....

Yesterday, I went to a follow up club, and when we got to our second club, I got to see a little girl I was buddies with all week. When she saw us there, standing in the field, waving at her. She threw down whatever that in her hands, and ran and gave me a huge hug.

This is her and I.

If you didn't do BYBC this year, do it next year. It is an amazing opportunity you don't want to miss. =]
