I am blessed to be able to say, I have gone to MABYC since I was 12. I've loved every moment of it. Possibly even more so as I came back to Jr. Camp on a few occasions. However, don't count me gone just yet. These, by no means, are my last years, I will be back! If God plays out His will in my life as it is in my heart, I will return with "my kids" of the ministry in years to come. I'm very excited for it. As this chapter of my life comes to a close, another begins. But before I turn the page, I wanted to take a moment and thank every one of y'all who have had a part in my camp for what you have done for me. Many did so simply by living their life and allowing me to observe it. So, thank you! I pray I will someday be able to have the same affect on 'my teens' as y'all have had on me.

Today marks one year of Life Of A Lizard. Starting with "Not-so-sweet" on May 12th of 2013. 113 posts (and who knows how many words) later, here we are. Ive loved every moment of it. There are three reasons I do this; three reasons this blog exists. 1)Preservation.
I have found no better way to save and protect my writing. Neither have I found a better way to preserve them for my kids...or "my kids" in the future. How better Will be able to prove to them, "I was a teenager once, I know what youre going through."? I hope to be able to use these to raise my children someday. 2)Personal. This blog is my own personal spiritual development course. ;) Before I share anything on here, I first learn it myself. And as I write, I learn even more about myself. He teaches me as I try to be a blessing and encouragement to y'all. Writing these posts is so beneficial to my own walk with Him. Being unable to find the time to spend in front of a screen with a blinking cursor has a more negative effect on me than what most realize. These help the writer! 3)Public. This is my main goal. This is what I'm supposed to do. A few weeks ago, I was really discouraged over this. It had been about a month since a post, and I'd had no time to sit and work on one, nor did I see any time in the future. I was ready to pull this site. As dedicated as I am to this, I couldn't fulfill the need to keep it up. But I was at work, and I just knew, this is my "ministry", this is my voice. This is my avenue to reach out to kids, teens, and adults alike. There were books I needed to read, blogs posts my heart needed to hear, but they weren't there. My desire is to provide those for others. These are for yall! So, Happy Birthday, Life Of A Lizard! Here's to many more to come. :) I know it seems as I have fallen off the blog bandwagon as of late. And, it's been over a month since I've written a new post. It's no excuse, but life has gotten really crazy for me. So many things have happened over the past month or so, I couldn't even begin to relay them all. Let alone, a new chapter of my life is unfolding with brand new challenges, experiences, and blessings.
Psalms 37.1-7
FRET NOT thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD,and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgement as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself of him who prespereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth the wicked devices to pass. |
