When I look at the stars...

Camping always brings back memories. Memories of when I was younger, when I was in boy scouts, when I felt free.

Going to senior retreat and being in the midst of the "great outdoors" allowed me to reflect and reminisce quite a bit. The last night, I was able to stare into the blue skies and watched the shooting stars streak across the clear blue sky. And I wished upon them many things... things that I remember wishing for as a kid.
Truth be told, I miss those days... you know being a kid. The days when I lived the child's life... free from the problems of well, the things that I'm facing now. Growing up never felt so bad... haha it's ironic the good things in life get so much better, and the bad things in life get so much more worse.

And despite it all, I cling onto Your promises. The promises that are reminding me over and over that this is simply a test, something You believe that I can get through. And simply something that I can't wait to get over.

Thank You Lord for believing in me when I don't believe in myself. Thank You for raining in blessings that can comfort me beyond imagine. Thank You for being the God of my strength.

... I feel like myself.
