Living for the smile of my Prince

In The Garden
Music and words by C. Austin Miles, 1912
He speaks, and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
Like a lily among thorns, so is my beloved among the daughters.--Songs of Songs 2:2
Living for the smile of my Prince

10 more days to my 18th birthday and surprisingly, I'm feeling rather neutral about it. Perhaps it's a little too early for me to get excited about it. Either that or my life has been inundated with so many things lately that it takes away most of the anticipation, which is a good thing because an idle mind is a devil's workshop. And! And! And...I thank God for giving me so many more opportunities to serve him. It's amazing how he always raises the bar higher every time He grants me new roles to take on. He pushes me, in a good way, out of my comfort zone. Though sometimes it does stress the life out of me, I'm thankful that He is always faithful. He never fails to grant me the strength to accomplish the the things that He brings into my life. Just like how he brought me through the TYA survival camp as an assistant counselor and a clan head. This year, i rest in the knowledge that He will bring me from strength to strength even as i take on a completely different role for the upcoming camp. He has always proven himself faithful till the very end and I know He will bring me through this.
