September 11th, 199712:08 pm. I cannot explain my school, for everyone has their own points. But when asked to ponder my class well…there are the quiet people, there are the wild people… then some arrogant and loud. A day here is a challenge. The evil one sets traps everywhere (temptation and such). Only with God’s grace can I disarm those traps. Say I wanted to give up the desire for this girl from last year, which I do. I try not to look at her anymore, then usually the test is how many times can she walk in front of me before I crack. Take her and turn her into a vicious blood thirsty creature and Ill back down. God she is none of the above. Your child is not mean to me intentionally. Moving on. School is a bit hard to understand. Why, I don’t know. Dear God, I pray for everybody here and at my other requests Lord help me comprehend this I give my time scheduale to you. Take it please. Help me. God to handle all of this. Thank you for everything. Help me run without aching. Amen. Maybe I will start dating when I turn 16…?

Maybe, Faith is the assurance in God. 3 key principles: 1 – obey even when I do not understand (Hebrews 11:7). 2. Trust even when I do not feel like it (Heb 11:24). 3. Give even when I don’t think I can (Heb 11:4). I must give my heart to God. Then youth group. Jacob spoke. Why did we become Christians? Was it so we could get to know God? Exodus 3:4. Moses. Judges 6: Gideion. Matthew 5. Salk of the Earth. --Dating is an idea that came that I had Friday but was gone by Sunday. Still going to talk to Dave about it. Youth group friends birthday was Saturday. Maybe I felt something, but now I don’t. Dear God. School may not be great. And I still have trouble. I thank you for all you have given me and others. I love you. Bless this school. Amen.

7:23am Good cold morning. I don’t know why my mind is playing out a revenge horror movie based on this camp. Maybe some of the people I confess. It is wrong. God I need some peace.11:37 Our meeting was good. We walked about relationships with each other. Talking and encouraging. I thought of my friend sitting to my right. We talked about potential and second chances. This is not going to be easy. Mud: Muck under dirt. The mud bowl was nice and muddy, I enjoyed filming from the edge, nice and clean. I still say an occasional sentence to my friend, but not too much. I love her in Christ. She is a sister in Christ. Dear God,does it get easier or am I doomed to this school life. You love me. Please allow others to love you and me. I pray life will get better. Amen. 2:11pm I am crying alone with God. As I week I am trying to calm myself down. A classmate came alongside and reminded me of what the speaker said in a nice way. I feel like only God cares. I am seeing people with their lives to worry about. Chances, rejection, attention. Help me Savior. These two girls were an answer to prayer. Came to me while I was crying. They cared. Now I feel better and have 4 new friends. Thank you. Lord I went to the pool and offered my towl, but she did not want mine. I still feel a little down. Its 4:25Dear God, Thank you for my caring friends. Amen. 8:26 After the dinner comes a roaring lighting by hail bouncing off my hat as we run to shelter. The meeting hall. Rain is flooding. Waters cover the bridge. Flash flood warning. Down pour. Now dinning hall with flood lights only I feel that longing again for a talk. I talked to a classmate for a bit. Why oh God do I still ache. Speaker talked about difficult things. Psalm 86. Feeling lost. God is your refuge. I call away, yes, I need God’s help. Dear God, Please help me sort out my problems. Thank you for everything. Amen.

September 3rd, 1997
High School retreat time, we have these at the beginning of the year to get reacquainted with our classmates and teachers. As usual the adults are the easiest to visit with. Many prayer requests regarding parents, jobs, and life in general. A few people are not showing much kindness already, I can only pray for things to get better. I think I might try doing some filming this year, help out with some sporting events, . women’s volleyball perhaps. I have tried to keep smiling all day long. Pastor’s plan is going into effect, sort of, I am trying a mixed plan. I might try going to the lake later
Dear God, Please help us this week. I love these people. Let them know and feel the same. Amen.4:24The lake has changed. A new trampoline has been added. I did everything except the slide, this includes the ballon bounce. Then videoed a little, really enjoyed the boats. Water is pretty cold. I am having gun. 6:30 I find it difficult to be around people when they cuss, need prayer to understand. I do not know where I stand in this school yet. I did give 75cents and a coke to a friend. I will offer my towl to someone else tommrow. God creation is all around. I realized that on the bus. A creek can be heard and seen from my seat. The pain I see spiritually around here is sad. Dear God, Please help me to see their pain better. Amen. Thank you. Remember: I am new at this. Help my classmate with her stomach ache. 8:45pm The meeting was nice. Raised hands in worship. School goal is to seek God first. Matthew 6:31. People sometimes think the Bible is dull. In difficult times we need God’s authority and each other. Went well, not its bed time. Dear God, Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray O Lord my soul to keep. Bless the words in this book. Bless my friends. I love you Amen.
