Life is Precious. Life is Sweet.

I desperately wish that I had time to sit and write all that I have learned in the past week. However, that is not possible at the moment seeing as I have to leave for work shortly. For now, I leave you with a poem that one of my fellow Huddle Leaders wrote about the week. Her thoughts sum it up perfectly.


This Week (July 11th-18th)

This Week
I learned that I am an eagle
and I need to stop living with the chickens,
spread my wings, and fly.
I learned that it is possible
to throw up for God.
I learned that Christianity IS a crutch,
because I AM crippled without Jesus,
and I need Him to support me.
I learned that I'm not worthy of myself
and that I am so precious to God
that only He is worthy to hold my life
in His hands.
I learned that prayer is the most powerful
weapon, stress reliever, compliment, praise.
I learned that being in community
is one of the greatest gifts to ever be given
and that feeling safe is a part of being a family.
I learned that choosing between two things is difficult
but that when you choose the right one
even when you think it will hurt someone
you do not feel defeat.
I learned that being a united front
is essential to being a parent.
I learned that being a role model
may be a tough job but reaps great rewards.
I learned that having a role model
means showing respect and being able
to admit your weaknesses and doubts.
I learned that I am not the only one who feels dry
and wants to be filled up.
I learned that swaying to a worship song
will always be more powerful when standing
next to your best friends.
I learned that dealing with difficult situations
is impossible to do on my own,
and shouldn't be done on my own.
I learned that when the girls start laughing
it is useless to try and not join in.
I learned that I did not deserve what Jesus did for me
when He gave His life on the cross
but that being unworthy would never stop Him
from saving those He loves.
I learned that being called Christian
means standing up and declaring
"I Am A Disciple Of Jesus"
and feeling your own voice resound in your heart.
I learned that Summer Games has saved my life
one more time.
I learned that God will never
ever
give up
on me.


Thanks Karleigh! This is my favorite poem, and I have a feeling it will always have a dear place in my heart.
