iKnowHope(:

First off, apologies for the long hiatus. I recently moved into an apartment, and we had to wait awhile to get an internet connection. Then also last week, I was gone for summer camp. I'm back though, I have much to write about. That is, if whoever really reads my blog cares.

When the nations
crumble
The word of the Lord will stay
Kings may rise and fall
His love will endure
Though the strong may stumble
The joy of the Lord is strength
To my soul
I will not be shaken
I will not be moved
I will not be shaken

What can I say? Last week, summer camp '09, was such a blessing. Pastor Danny Cortez honestly is a great speaker. I found it funny and ironic, he talked about blogging for a brief moment, how King David was the very first "blogger", and I thought to myself, "Hmm, I'm most definitely going to blog that." Ahaha. Camp most certainly was a blessing though. If only it were longer than a week.

There were only 4 sessions this year, Pastor Danny and his family had to go back home Thursday after his last message. DJ, his son, told me that they had family from somewhere visiting, so I guess that's the reason why for his quick departure.

This years camp theme was Know Hope. I truly wondered what it meant to actually "Know Hope". What is Hope anyways? Christ gives hope. Keep your eyes permanently, not temporarily, on Jesus. If I learned anything this past week, I've learned that God is still on His throne. Through it all, the good and the bad, He's still there. Allowing it to happen. Everything happens for a reason. God doesn't make mistakes, and if you're angry for the Decisions He's mad, then you have the right to be angry. Get angry at God, He can take it. But know, he still has that Agape love, His love for us is unconditional. God Loves You. We shouldn't worry about all these sins, all these wrong things we do, the main point is to Focus on God. It is then, we'll see the light. God is good, all the time, which is why He sent his only son to die on the cross at calvary for us. He didn't just die to save us, He died so that, in turn, we may live for others. If you love the person you do not know, your enemy, your neighbor, then you'll truly know what it means to love God.

I don't know about ya'll, but I think I confused myself typing that.

It's all good though. I gotta keep that fire alive somehow.
I've made a promise to stop cursing, stop joking about people, etc. Quit those bad habits. Become a good testimony for God. Let them know I'm a Christian, and I'm proud to be having that relationship with God.

Alright, I'ma cut it here. Dang, 4 years at camp already..where does the time go.
