on beeing young and Aspiring


these are pcitures of: my 6 yr camper alexis and me, she couldnt sleep so i took her out in th e hall read to her, and she fell asleep on my lap
and, arron mathew and some leader at our Disco camp fires.
this is how arron prays: dear God, thankyou that i love you. thankyou that you are Lord of my life, and thankyou for the people in china. and bless mommy and daddy and anutie...


remember when we were young?
remeber when we were young and we felt so invincible?
we had the whole world at our hands, and our whole lives ahead of us.remember life was exciting, joyfull, something we loved.it was a constant adventure we always craved,remeber everything amazing us?

i hate this whole idea of growing older.
i hate when were older we have a certain level of matuirty to live up to.
and you cant do any of those things you did when you were little,
like lying under the sky and watching the clouds as they change forms above you.
our lives are turned into a day to day routine,
filled with stress, worry and school work.
and i hate it i hate it i hate it!whatever happend to living life simply,
to living life freely?living with the simple spirit of a child?
well, i am a child.
i am still young. i have not even lived half of a normal life span.
and im not going to waste the rest of my time trying to be old.

i refeused to be looked down upon beucase i am young.
i refuse to be seen as useless and just wanting attention.
i refuse to be thought of as dumb, or immature.
i refuse to have my life limited,
i refuse to be held captive to those ideas of how i should be,
or how i should act.i am young, i am foolish.i have dreams,
i have ambitions, i have goals and aspirations,
and i refuse to let others take those away from me.
i refuse to abondon this childlike joy that surrounds mei refuse to stand still,
i will dance.
i will sing.
i will play childish games.
i will lie under the sky and wtach clouds trade forms above me
i refuse to be quiet and unheardi will have an impact,
i will make i differencei will Love God,
i will delight in Him.i will live simplyi will never stop striving to see beauty ineverythingi refues to be confined.
i will never stop beeing all that i am.
