First

I just got home from an amazing week at camp. Now I know what you are thinking. Trust me. I thought that it would be another year at teen camp and everyone would "make decisions" like they do every year. But this year was different. I went alone. I went without my close friends and I didn't really understand why at first. Now I do. The Lord did an amazing work in my life this week at camp. I made many decisions and I would like to tell you about one in particular.

While I have been "serving the Lord" I always seemed to get frustrated and tired of all that I did. I would get "weary in well doing". And I never knew why. Well this week I figured out why. While I was "serving the Lord" I wasn't really "serving the Lord". I was really just serving myself. But this week I made the decision to legitimately serve the Lord and not do it for myself. I can't do it alone! I can't do it alone!! I CAN'T DO IT ALONE! How can I serve the Lord when he isn't first in my life!! I can't!!! And that is what my problem was from the beginning. Doing it for myself because he wasn't on top of my priority list. But now HE is and I want to serve Him with my whole heart! I also decided to take time and blog more often. I am very sorry for neglecting to do that! But I ask for you prayers and I start my life over with the Lord as #1 in my life!!

But just remember as you read this: you can't do it alone either. Just as I can't do it alone! But the Lord is always there! Put Him first and you will see what amazing things He will do in your life!
