School Camp. Something I've been looking forward to for a long time is now past. It went by so quick and even though I'm sad for it have already past, I am glad to leave it behind me. See, it was the last Camp at the school I love so much and owe my graditude to for bringing me closer to Him. The hardest thing to face was the bon-fire. The last true goodbye at a point when all honesty is available for everyone to see. I cried through every song, every testimony until it came my time to say some words. There was so much more I wanted to say but the only words that came to mind were the ones I said, and I am fine with that. But to everyone else who wants to read this, I do have more to say. As I think about it I do wish I had said how being at Grace may seem pointless to some, that being there is a waste of time. But the only thing I can say to that is that He has a purpose for every life and coming to Grace can be no mistake on His part. 'Cause to be honest as I look back I see how every difficult thing I went through in my life led me to Grace and after all that its not hard to see how much of a blessing Grace truely is. I don't care what some may say about this post. I know it may not be much. To be honest, its mostly for me. But I know that nothing is ever only about me and hope that this post is somehow a blessing to whoever reads it.
P.S. I love you all.
& Thanks Jeff.

Anything I can do, never cease to ask. I know what you mean with the crying... and I've learned from rw that crying is ok. Its ironic because I now cry less, and think more. Sweet action. I love your posts... so fulfilling. Well, peace foo ~~~
i have so much to say about the bon-fire rw so i'll just email ya about it :)
& thanks jeff... for me it seems that when crying is realized and accepted as being okay,it turns from coming from pain held within into giving me comfort and from there crying isnt that needed anymore.i dont know if that makes sense but thats the best way i can put it.
I didn't even have to explain it to ya, you found the answer yourself you silly "rationilist"...
uh-hum, its ration-A-list as a matter of fact. :)(hehehehe)
Christina,
Another great post. It is such a blessing to see young people...teenagers..truly sold out for the Lord. I know there are those who do not appreciate being in a Christian School. They see the "rules" and standards as something negative, as opposed to protective boundaries to your freedom. I feel sad when I hear of young people who think they are "missing out" by being in a Christian school (my own son is one of those). But the only thing you are missing are years that would have been lost in selfish pursuits rather than in the Lord's service and a lifetime of regrets.
I enjoyed having lunch with you, too. I want to do it again in a less crowded and noisy atmosphere!
thanks. its so interesting to look back though, at the first time i had a choice to go to Grace. 'Cause like you said, I thought I would be missing so much, the fun and "culture" of a public school, and learn so little if I went to a Christian school. I thought I would be learning biased information that was of no use to my life but oh how I was wrong.
That would be cool(lunch). That lunchroom can get soooooooo noisy sometimes :)
I know exactly what you is talking bout christina... but thats another post for another time.
