I do admire you. You have mentioned your surgery before, and your parents separating, which was so hard for you, and the loneliness which I think you felt in these camps ... and yet you are so self-motivated with getting up early and running. Give up the video games, though. They are a waste of time and won't help any of us to grow. And I hope you can make friends with lots of good-hearted people. You deserve to be loved.
Video games improve your IQ score and driving skills. They're not a waste of time. Unless you think having fun is a waste of time, then why not say that about card and board games, movies, music, and TV.
@@McLovin_2007there are other ways to have fun. That's the problem with this country, the younger people think to have fun it has to be a video game. Alot of them don't want to work because all that they want to do is game
OK. Maybe there is something to be said for gaming. A lot of people seem to be into it - and they know more than I do about it. But perhaps there is an addictive component to it which is not so good.
It’s exciting and inspiring to watch your journey. Keep at it. You are deeply self-aware which is unusual in someone as young as you. Despite all that life has thrown at you, you never complain or whine or act like a victim. It’s amazing to see and, like I said, inspiring to people young and old.
Sounds like you are describing a "pectus excavatum" surgery - one of the most painful pediatric surgeries to have to endure. You're a champion for having been through that!
Unburden yourself and begin to enjoy the life that you are shaping for yourself. God is listening always and will guide you through. You just have to talk to him. I believe you already know that now though. Never give up on your goals. You can succeed in whatever you put your mind to if you are consistent and persistent with determination. Chase after and grab it. Nobody in their right mind could possibly say no to such a beautiful, thoughtful, intelligent and helpful young man. Your thoughts run deep, you work out what you need to do in situations and are a good friend to your room mates. Save yourself from temptations, that can be difficult to do depending on the temptation put in front of you, but you have the mental strength to control yourself no matter what that turns out to be. Other boys and girls will also have to control themselves too so you are not alone there. Admit when wrong like you have learnt to do. In fact, ignore everything I have said as you are already half there, you have just told us so. Just enjoy your stay at camp and whatever you do on your journey try and do it with someone you care about, don't be alone ....... especially when making that 60 mile run attempt. Be very prepared with essential supplies to last the course. Bless you Malachi. Thank you for taking the time to report back with how you are progressing when you get time. 🙏
Without going back and rifling through your prior videos I just don’t remember is this some sort of a Religious conversion therapy camp? I don’t know which passages of the Bible you’re reading that makes you feel you belong or need to be in a place like that. I am guessing you’re a Christian as such you should be concerned with only the teachings of Christ and nothing else. In my Bible his words are outlined in red. This truly is all you need to be concerned about. His words will direct you and tell you what you need to do. When you realize this message you will also realize that it is within you. That is truly all you need to be concerned with absorbing his words into your mind and having that feeling spring into your heart
Malachi, Read the verses written below. You can never sort your life out by yourself. Self improvement has never worked for anyone and it will not work for you either. You need to ask the Lord Jesus to forgive your sins and you need to decide to give your life to HIm. It is like handing the car keys of your life to Jesus and saying you are sorry for living your life your own way. Let Him take control. Then He will help you to follow Him. in II Corinthians 5 v 17 it says when you do that you become a new creature-a new person inside. Then you can begin to run the race that God sets before you. Hebrews 12 v 1-2 tells us that. We are praying for you.

John ch 3 v 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John ch 3 v 17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved, John ch 3 v 18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned, but he that believeth not is condemned already , because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John ch 3 v 36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him.
