Hey
Yap we had camp last week and we're on christmas break then we go back to one more week of camp, and yes it is the same camp you were in.It is a priviledge that when I'm not in school I'll still be working nd so thats why I have to spend Christmas eve and Christmas at te site because I'll be conducting both services but its fun. About your friend, some things take lots of time to change even years! Look at it this way, if it was your sister would you give up on her?I say this because i do have a wayward brother that I don't give up on so I feel you but hang in there, and by the way all your life there'll always be someone you'll be batling with the Lord for his\her redemtpion, so the love for God and concern for His glory and the love for our neighbour(summary of the law)Should drive us not to give up in evangelism and prayer for the lost. Otherwise God has been so good to me and I thank HIm for His goodness. Sorry about you and your dad. IOt feels so frustrating when you have to go different ways with people you love. I can only pray and hope that as you say all will go well with you guys and that you'll enjoy submitting to his leadership as the head of the family but that he also will love you and shape you ion godliness but having in mind yur heart's desires. Take courage, such is life even for believers. I miss you.
Desiring to grow in fellowship with the Father.

Hey Gids, I'm excited for you that you get to go to camp. Is it the same camp that we were at? What are you going to be doing for Christmas? I'm going to my Grandma's house for Christmas Eve right after we spend the night at my sisters new apartment. I have spent soooooo much time sewing for her. We both spend nearly all day re-apholstering a chair and making some curtains. You know, after you do something tedious for so long, you get really really... crazy. Man, my sister and I were abolutely pyscho. We were talking in British accents and yelling and throwing things at eachother. It was good times.
Anymore, I'm not really sure what to say to my one friend. I know that I'm supposed to carry her burdens with her, but, come to find out, I don't really think that she wants to change. I mean, what am I supposed to tell her if she doesn't care? I don't know. I've been praying about it alot, but I just don'teven know what to tell her.
Please pray hard for me and my relationship with my dad. He has made some decisions for me lately that I don't agree with and I feel like he's just saying no becasue he's the authority figure and is stubborn. I feel like I should really repsect him, but I'm having a hard time doing that because I feel like he hasn't really earned any lately.
I pray that God is lavishing you with all of His blessing,
Beti
