Attack of the enemy

Not mine, got it at the link showed above
It has been about a week since the Bible camp ended and the Summer School of Truth is starting here in Belize this Monday already. I am sad to say though that after Bible Camp, I started to get up later and did not have time to have morning revival as usual. So, I started to give in to distractions again. I would run to the computer to read stories or message people when I should have been working. I drifted all the way back to where I was before I went to the Team Reunion in Austin. I had kept me away from temptations and distractions for a week, but as soon as I stopped having my time with the Lord in the morning, I drifted back to where I was before, very quickly. I am ashamed and feel very guilty...waking up this morning I felt horrible, thinking that I didn't even deserve to be a serving one in the Truth School. I felt so bad...so I got out of bed and my mom suggested I take a walk and pray-read a verse. I did that. While I was walking, it began to rain. As I prayed, I started to not feel as bad as I did before I started walking. It was truly just the Lord and I. I prayed for the Truth School, and for the young people and serving ones. I also prayed for the Lord to be with me throughout the next week, to keep me from distractions. So far today I have been doing better than yesterday and have not let myself get distracted as much. I have realized all over again just how much I need the Lord. If we are not of the Lord, we are of Satan. I do not want to do the things that please Satan, but things that are of the Lord and please Him. Oh Lord Jesus! I need you more than anything else in my life. Keep drawing me closer to You!

Bible Camp Belize 2011

Got up today after going to bed late because of the coordination meeting we were having for the Summer School of Truth which starts in about one and a half weeks. Woke up still tired from coming back on Monday from the Team Reunion in Austin that I went to last week. I had signed up to serve at the Bible camp today so my sister, my little brother and I went to the meeting hall and the serving ones had a short prayer meeting before I went out to get the children started on singing. After the singing we had the lesson, dividing up the the kids into their different age groups. I was with the standard 1-4 girls and it was a lot of fun being with all those little girls. It only takes so much before they love you. Enjoyed the hugs a lot too. After the Bible Camp let out for the day, I got home all tired but happy. Took a nap and crocheted a bit before setting up this blog and writing this, my first post. Oh Lord Jesus thank you for all the young children!
