I'm going back to camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited. I can't wait for tomorrow to come. This time it'll be 5th through 7th graders. I'm definitely looking forward to the week. Lisa's coming with me too, which is really great. She asked me like two days ago if they still needed counselors. So she's coming. It'll be a great opportunity. I can't ( Read more... )

How many times must you remind me that your plan is awesome? How many times have I forgotten that you're the one in the driver's seat and it's not me? Why is it that I can't remember that I simply need to have faith on this journey? That all I need is you?

I'm lacking. So often I think I know your plans for me, and I try to take charge. There are ( Read more... )

So I'm back home once again. It's weird, you know? I had such a great week, and I miss all my girls like crazy. They all really touched my life, and I hope I meant something in theirs as well.

8 girls...they all came from the Chicago area. There was Rachel, the tiny little girl going into 7th grade. I think we all had a natural instinct to protect ( Read more... )

God is so wonderful and amazing. He truly is. It's amazing to see all that he can do. I feel so blessed.

I worked in our church nursery Wednesday night. Despite the fact that the kids had way too much energy, it made me realize how alive our church really is. There used to be a time when I knew who ever child was and who they belonged to. Now, I ( Read more... )

So when I'm really tired, the little things really entertain me. I know I posted like two seconds ago, but I forgot to put a mood thingy, and I think the kitties are so cute!!!!

So it's 9:45 or so, and I've already been at work for almost 3 hours. I'm wiped. Hopefully there won't be much else to do around here. I have things to do and sleep to catch up on. :)
I spend the afternoon with my future roomie, Kirstin, yesterday. We met at a park that's kind of half way between our towns, and swam, got some sun, and did a lot of ( Read more... )

Fully Rely on God..... How cool is this statement? And yet, how totally difficult is it to do this? I've been having a hard time relying on Him lately. I realized this after I spoke with my friend Kendra the other night. Her time on project has so completely nurtured her faith and her fire. It also made me realize how much I've been trying to rely ( Read more... )

Last weekend was such a blast! The music was amazing, and God held off the rain for the whole weekend. Praise the Lord!!! Camping was a lot of fun too. Lis' and I decided to go home Sunday night, because there were bad weather reports headed our way. Good thing we did too. We drove through the storm that was headed to Oshkosh. Funnel clouds are ( Read more... )

In about 4 short hours, Lisa and I will head toward Oshkosh on our journey to Lifest. I'm so excited! For one, I have not been camping in years. This will definitely be an experience. Plus, I've never gone camping without my parents. This is truly the beginning of my adulthood and independence.(Most likely just until we come home on Monday. A ( Read more... )

Happy Fourth, everyone!!!

I miss and love you all
