When you go off to a church camp or a convention of some sort, you usually come back on fire for God. This feeling usually doesn't last very long. When people ask if you'll be the same you were at camp, many say yes. This is great, but rarely true. I pray that I will not be like this, rather look back at this point and say what a child I was and how far I've come.

Everything you have will someday be gone. Even if you don’t miss it now, you probably will later. So take pictures and hide them in your memories so you can recall them later after everything that is becomes everything that was. OR I know you’re hurting, even if it’s just when you’re alone and thoughts seem to rush into your head and you can’t seem to keep them from coming in. But there can be beauty in pain; Even though sometimes it’s hard to see.
