Camp Sparta!

So right now I am sitting in the camp Sparta office because I have free time and it's my day off! Today was awesome I went on the "blob" it's like a 40ft pillow in the water! I was blobbed by Tyler who is like 6"4 and plays basketball! Then I went on this thing called the "hot dog" it's like a floaty behind a motor boat! Can life get any better? hahah No but seriously being here and getting away from school and work it's like fresh air to my soul! I haven't felt this close to God in a long time! It's like we are friends again and I can just talk to Him instead of feeling guilty all the time for not spending enough time with Him! So yeah this summer has been great so far! And why should it be any different??? Thanks for reading!~

Only on the 7th chapter!

I know it's been a while, but I forgot my password :( but obviously I figured it out. This week has been a little crazy... I feel like my life consists of work and not enough sleep.
Although, one night I was looking for something to read, so my mom gave me a book by Chip Ingram called, "The Invisible War" I put it down and never opened it I thought it would be kind of boring reading, but at the beginning of this week actually for a while I've felt continually defeated as if my life is going no where and it's going no where really fast. So I picked up this book and have really been learning a lot! I have learned that there is so much power in Christ that I need to discover and not just discover but tap into... I'm not sure how to do that yet, but I'm only on the 7th chapter!
Hopefully I will continue to grow through this waiting and stagent time of my life!

On the Highway of Life
Driving down the road I think about my life
It's been stagnant,dull but strangely no strife
It's been as if those around me are moving forward
I'm alone with no one to go toward
As if a desert has been my home.

As I walk through my daily routine
I feel like my mind is corrupted and mean
As if the longer I live in this world
The more sin from me is hurled

Can I make it through this war
I feel empty and sore
Where will the power come from?
Where will this power come from?
And He said, "Look at the grave, just look at the grave!"
It IS empty and the enemy will be destroyed!

Sometimes all they need is love

So today started out great! I did not have school or work, so today felt like a vacation. I took breakfast to my Grandpa- we ate Lester's. Then I finished my research paper and then wen out to eat with my friend cesia. Today I felt very useful- Do you ever feel like God is using you- well, that is how my whole day felt and it was amazing! I just wish I could feel like this all the time... I get so focused on myself that I neglect what God wants me to do.

Awana was tonight and I have been working with this girl Curtera, when she first started coming she had an attitude and she caused the other kids to get all rilled up, but now she has been so focused on learning her verses and open to what I say. It is a blessing to work with these kids!
Sometimes all they need is love! It is as if I am working with another girl.

Beyond
Beyond this world
Beyond where sky and water meet
I’ll be with my savior.
Oh, what a treat.

I can’t wait to see His face.
And really understand His grace.
I won’t have to deal with sin.
Or worry about being thin.

Beyond the beach
Beyond anything you can reach.
My savior is there.
Everything will be fair.

There will be street of gold.
I’ll see His love unfold.
Oh, I can’t wait to see his beauty.
This place will never get old.

Oh, this place and person.
Are far beyond what the eye can see.
This place and person will always be.
This place is heaven I want you to see.

Today class was cancelled, so I came home checked my e-mail, and decided to read up on my little nephews and niece on my sister Rachel's blog, and then I thought... I might enjoy blogging, so needless to say I created one!
