from a friend's 'blog' : "The Lord said to me, "I have begun a good work in your community and in your lives. That good work is not the best as yet but the best will only come if you obey to me. And when the best comes do not forget about me, but remember me and continue to praise me. This I have instructed to the people in Deuteronomy and I want you to go and do as I have said. Indeed you and your brothers and sisters will taste the manna that your forefathers have not tasted, I will bring you to greener pastures and you will bring glory to Me most high." God told me something about these things. Even in camp where barely half of YM was there, I noticed there was no atmosphere of love. I can smile and say hi at a camper who walks away and rolls her eyes at me. I can spot the little cliques already. I could list down all the names of the people in various cliques and pin them on a board. Even if you think it is not called a clique, it is one. The fir

[haha. sounds so serious. but think about it, it is. God] my mommy always tells me to look on the bright side of things. like that verse in romans which says "and we know that all things work for the good of those who love Him and serve Him and who have been called according to him purpose" [smtg like that] and it's been an encouraging verse. really. sometimes, we only see a downside to things. we try hard to find the better side of things...on
