Life Isn't A Diet.

     Today I woke up in second hour. My brain hadn't officially turned on until I walked into class partly because it's Friday and partly because well, it's Friday. I was ready to rush through my day when I heard that our student council was having senate exchange. Well the lights turned off in my second hour as a movie began and again I went back into sleep mode. While I was supposed to be watching the movie I remembered Camp Barnabas, for a large amount of the people I knew from Barnabas went to the school that had came over for this senate exchange. I ran through my thoughts as I remembered most of those barnstormers had graduated. Oh well. The lights turned on in second hour as the clip ended and I turned to my right and saw a familiar face, sort of. I knew this kid, he went to Barnabas with me. Suddenly all of my thoughts of my most life shattering moment came back. Camp Barnabas was one of the biggest impressions on my short life.
     So many of us try to treat our Christianity as a diet. Barnabas molded me in such a short time and helped shape who I am today. And I treated it like an intense workout on the path of my spiritual walk. Our walk with Christ is a lifestyle choice. Barnabas put me in the best spiritual shape I had been on in a long time and lasted longer throughout a lifestyle. As I left for second hour I thought, "I have to get back." I didn't know exactly where or what exactly I meant but I've been asking where God wants me this summer before I go off to college, and that's where. I have to go back.
