I'm back from a retreat. I said it on Discord but not one here. Thursday, I was busy with college. Friday to today, I was at a camp with my youth group. I was leading as a backup singer in worship. It was a great experience and it was nice to get away. I also really liked the messages. They opened my eyes to what Jesus was actually talking about when He was speaking.
When I got back, I was asked to be in a drama for a women's event next week. I accepted and love the work we've done so far.

If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
– 1 Peter 4:15-16 (NIV)
"There are some people who teach that Christians should not suffer, but the Bible is filled with examples that would contradict that teaching. Suffering is a part of this broken world, but there are some distinctions. To break the law and get caught is not being persecuted for righteousness sake! Instead, we are to suffer for doing the right things; for going the extra mile. Don’t look for the easy way out, but look for ways to glorify Jesus. Our challenge should be how to bear that name well." -Dave Whitehead

The song of the day is Total Eclipse of the Heart by Peter Hollens. If you have a song suggestion that would be great.

If you have a song suggestion I would love to pray for you. Soar in, Eagle Army!
