This is me at EFY this past summer. I attended EFY in Virginia at Southern Virginia University.
When I sang this I had a fever, had been throwing up all day, and was barely able to stand. I hadn't even eaten real food for over a day.
I thought I'd add this... you might enjoy it.
Thanks for all those people who are commenting on my blog :) I love you guys!!
SEMINARY :)
My teacher is Sister Gardner. We meet in our church building, and it takes me between 2-5 minutes to get to seminary. I wake up at 5:42, leave at 5:45 and get to seminary by 5:50 am. We end at 6:40 and I drive home and put in my contacts and make my lunch, and then I leave for school. I get to school around 7 and school starts at 7:30. For seminary this year we are are studying the Old Testament. We have studied the creation up to Abraham and Isaac. Today we had a lesson on sacrifice. Our teacher took something from each of us. She took a real diamond necklace from one girl, shoes from me and another boy, and random things from other people. It was a pretty good object lesson. Then we were asked to draw something that meant a lot to us (actually this part came first), I drew my eternal companion. Its actually quite funny, and serious. I wanted to draw something that would be important to me forever. That's the thing that popped into my head. I was pleased with the outcome. It was a really good lesson and I learned a lot about what Abraham had to go through, and how today we have our own sacrifices. We just need to remember that the Lord's side always win. If we put our trust in him and stay on the right path, we will end up on top, with him. And though we think we're missing out on something... In reality, we've won a lot more in the eternal spectrum.
