youngest

people say that being the youngest is the best position in the family. i do agree that being the youngest does have its advantages... your older siblings "break the ice" of your parents... you always have someone to talk to about what you're going through cause they've been there before you... and there's always that older sibling who is braver and has more courage than you...

but.

being the youngest isn't always as fun as people make it to be. when you're the youngest, you get picked on because you're the smallest and the "dumbest" .... you get all the hand-me-downs while the older siblings get new and exciting clothes. and worst of all... you're the last.

you're the last to do everything. the last to go to kindergarten... the last to choose what you want... the last to go to high school ... the last to drive ... and the last to grow up.

i dont think older sibling do it on purpose, but they seem to belittle the youngest. like we're the leftovers at dinner. while they go off and enjoy everything... you get left behind.

to all my fellow youngests.

you are awesome.

dont let the bigger sibs get you down.

it's you. who you are. its all you can be!

call my name.

life sometimes gets you down. emptiness overcomes. you know in your head that someone's there and that they love you, but in your heart, you are all alone. there's no one there. its just a heart. what can a heart be without love? the love is absent. or maybe it's run away. it's vacant what-so- ever. you feel as if no one cares. you feel like no one loves you.

that's a fact of life. we were not made to be self-satisfied. we were made to long for something more. something that no person you ever meet will be able to fill. not a friend or a spouse. there's only ONE who can satisfy.

God wants to give us EVERYTHING that our heart desires. every ambition that you are longing for can be satisfied.

all you have to do is CALL HIS NAME!

Third Day
Call my Name

Songwriters: Anderson, Tai; Avery, Brad; Carr, David; Lee, Mark D; Powell, Mac

It's been so long since

You felt like you were loved

So what went wrong

But do you know

There's a place where you belong

Here in My Arms

When you feel like you're alone in your sadness

It seems like no one else in this whole world cares

And you want to get away from the madness

You just call My name and I'll be there

You just call My name and I'll be there

The pain inside

Has erased your hope for love

Soon you will find

That I'll give you all

That your heart could ever want

And so much more

When you feel like you're alone in your sadness

It seems like no one else in this whole world cares

And you want to get away from the madness

You just call My name and I'll be there

You just call My name and I'll be there

You just call My name

You just call My name

Call My name say it now

I want you to never doubt

The love I have for you is so alive

Call My name say it now

I want you to never doubt

The love I have for you is so alive

You just call My name

You just call My name

You just call My name

The love I have for you is so alive

The love I have for you is so alive

You just call My name

You just call My name

You just call My name

sometimes, i don't know what to write. i feel like writing, but there's just nothing there. or there's just too much there. i could talk about a lot of things today... the past three most amazing weeks that i've had at camp, but how could i ever sum that up in one blog post? what part of camp would i talk about? i could talk about the funnie times that we had, but i would just copy and paste that from Facebook... i could talk about the people, but what would i say?
there's not much i can say. God has been AMAZING... but then again, when isn't He?
i feel so blessed!
