Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the Devil. Eph.6:10-11
There is nothing good about having a very attractive instructor...for a weightlifting class. Especially when she has to demonstrate how to work each muscle group and each exercise.
So summer is definately over. Camp is definately over. School most certainly has begun. This war just intensified.
sorry zach, get your cousin barbara to talk to them. lil cousins are very defensive to their older ones when they can be. besides she bit me. and shes pretty good at bowling.
So I had to help move a piano out of this lady's house that weighed a literal ton...Seriously...This was the heaviest piano I have EVER moved. (Come to think of it, its probably the only piano I have ever moved.) There are 5 guys including me, and we couldn't budge this piano by lifting, so we decided to roll it. The plan was to roll it up a ramp and into the back of the truck. In the process, the piano wheel got stuck on a lip on the ramp. The next thing I hear I will never forget.
Mom: "Zachary!! Pick up the piano!"
Me: *looks around, followed by a long pause* "Come again??"
Guess what!......You are my friend!!.....I feel sorry for you no joke because I happen to be a very loud person....amd I like to randomly ramble on your pleonast blog for aboslutley no reason...it's rather fun and your probably wondering right about now why your still reading this and I know the answer to that...do you wana know?...do ya? do ya? Well actually the answer is there is no answer it's completley pointless!!!!! so I just used up a ton of space on your blog rambling about absolutley nothing....have a nice day
Wow. This has got to be the weakest I have been in a long time. Normally, camp would recharge, or if you will, supercharge me for the next 6 months-year. This year was different for me. Camp never hit me like that. Im still reeling..
As most of you know, this has been my first year as a JC. I knew what to expect as far as the hard work goes, but there were implications I missed.
No Devotionals
No Bible Classes
No Team Competition
No Singings
The spiritual aspect of camp was removed. The part I love so much was gone. I could only watch from a distance. This isn't what crushed me, as I already came to camp with weights on my shoulders. Camp normally removed those weights and helped me refocus, but with the spiritual aspect all but completely gone, my focus was scattered and I actually gained weights. Coupling that with a grueling pace of work that kept me tired and unable to concentrate on getting my focus straight, I was knee deep in a spiritual drought.
God knows I needed your prayers, and I still do.
On a lighter note, out of pure need for it, my prayer life has gained new life. For the past 3 days, I have had at least 1 Bible study every day.
My struggle isnt a run. Its not a walk. Its not even at a crawl, but I'm not giving one more inch. I have been down, but I am certainly not out. The breath has been knocked outta me, but I will breathe again. I have some serious ropeburns, but this game of Tug-o-War is FAR FROM OVER!
i really appreciate all of the things that you said to me at camp. i will treasure your words... there are so many people out there to help you and most of all you have God. obviously you know that but if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me. i would love to hear from you especially if you need a listening ear. and as a side note, we will work something out when i visit CS. i can't wait to see you again. :)
it takes a strong person to admit they need help--prayers. you ARE a strong person, never forget that. and you are in my prayers.i love you, with all my heart. and pleasssse when are you comin to see my momma (and me?)
I feel like a ship in a storm. At least I have my Anchor...For those who know about my roommate situation, among several other problems, it has really gotten to me. I know, everyone makes a post about their problems, so I guess I'm joining the crowd, but its not so much about my problems as it is about how I have learned to deal with them. I finally decided to change my outlook on a lot of things because of the circumstances.
1. The bigger man will walk away. He can leave his pride behind.

2. Our reward comes later. This world is the only reward the wicked will ever reap. Our_Reward_Comes_Later.
It won't be very long till this short life shall end.
It won't be very long till Jesus shall descend.
And then the Dead in Christ from beds of clay shall rise;
to meet their Lord and King up yonder in the skies...
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Cor. 4:16-18
