| yearn
by shane barnard
holy design
this place in time
that i might seek and find my God
my God
Lord i want to yearn for You
i want to burn with passion
over You and only You
Lord i want to yearn
Your joy is mine
yet why am i fine
with all my singing and bringing grain
in light of Him
oh You give life and breath
through Him You give all things
in Him we live and move
that's why i sing
Those are some of my most favorite lyrics. We sang that song at Falls Creek last week and I just sat there meditating on the words feeling so unworthy. Last week at Falls Creek for the second time was good. There are different things I liked about going with each church. The most important thing though is that I became closer to God and I have my quiet times back on the right track. Tomorrow I'm off to Baltimore to pick up my sister then I'll be back to start pre-band on Monday. My plane leaves at 6:50 tomorrow morning so that means all be up around 3:30 tomorrow morning. Oh joy. I can't believe school is going to start in 3 weeks. This summer has really flown by but so much has happened. I'm glad to be getting back to school, even though that means more homework. |

| I just got back from Preteen Camp. I'm pretty tired and sore from rock climbing. Overall it was a pretty fun trip. I need major sleep before heading to Falls Creek. I can already tell that it's going to be an amazing week. Super Summer last week was great! I learned a lot and I met so many people it was really sad to leave. I get to see some of them at Falls Creek so it's ok. I'm taking my camera to get developed today and then I'll actually have pictures. I think I'm gonna go take a long nap now.

| This is probably the last time I'll update for the entire summer. I've got 3 straight weeks of camps, then I'll gone for two more weeks in July. I'm so excited! Driver's ed will be over on Friday. I've actually enjoyed it. The only thing bad is waking up so early during the summer. After that, on Monday, I'm leaving for Super Summer. I have been waiting all year for this...it's gonna be great! Then the next Monday I'm off to Preteen Camp as a Junior Counselor. That will be very interesting with Adam, Eric, and Ashley going too. Then after that I'm going to Falls Creek. I can't believe these things are already almost here. They're what I look forward to summer break for. Then in July I'm taking a trip to the Washinton D.C. area to see my sister. After I get back I'm going to Falls Creek again with First Baptist. It's gonna be super busy...it'll be over before I know it and then I'll have to go back to school...not looking forward to that at all. Well, I think that pretty much sums everything up.

| My computer was randomly on and so I decided to update the old xanga for a change. Don't expect this to become a regular thing though. I will probably disregard this website for another 5 months like I have been doing. Let's see...a whole lot has changed and happened since december. Most of the bigger changes you can probably easily figure out. School is almost out and I have never been more ready. It's pretty crazy that I'm fixing to be a sophomore. I remember when I was younger and just thinking how cool it would be to be in high school and now a fourth of my high school career is already over. Well...I think that this is it for now...it's kind of late.

| So I had a pretty good day today. At least the first half of it was good. Shortgrass ( an honor band) tryouts were fun...I got 1st chair! I think I shrieked when I saw the sheet. So that was exciting. Then I went shopping with my grandparents and then went to sleep. Then when I woke up I practiced my new shortgrass music and managed to put my sister in a really bad mood. whoops. Nothing much else has happened. I did send in my bill for youth and government. I'm nervous about having to argue it. Oh well. That's about it. |
