I found this in my Bible one Sunday along time after we had looked at it in Sunday School and I thought that it was really cool and so true, so I thought that I would post it for everybody else to enjoy.
I asked God for strength that I might achieve.
I was made weak that I might learn to humbly obey.
I asked for health that I might do greater things.
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked for riches that I might be happy.
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men.
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God.
I asked for all things that I might enjoy life.
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly bless.
-- The Prayer of an Unknown Confederate Soldier
Ok, after that I guess that I can now update. Summer has finally arrived and if anybody would ever like to do something then just say so. I have times that I am really busy, yet at other times I have nothing to do. I'm sure that I can always arrange it so I could do something. Not much has really happened in my life since I last updated. I know, my life is so exciting! Oh, well I still enjoy it most of the time. ; )
Anyways, if anybody would like to see me the next couple of days you could come to the garage sale that I help organize. My church is having a garage sale to raise money for our camps and missions trips. It's located at 333 N. 143rd at Metro East Baptist Church between Kellogg and Central. It goes from 8 to 6 on Thursday but I will only be there until about 1 or so and then on Friday it is from 8 to 1 and then on Saturday it is from 8 to 10. There is a lot of really cool and neat things. Most of them are things that you probably would not need, but they would still be fun to have. And if you are one of my friends that go to MEBC you should come there and help! You should also try to come visit me sometime while I am volunteering at the library. I volunteer at Ford Rockwell Library on 9th street between Woodlawn and Edgmore Thursday and Tuesdays from 2 to 4. It would be a blast. Everyone should attempt to come visit me sometime!
I hope that everybody has a good summer and that we can get together and hang out sometime over the summer. |
