1/9 done

I don't know the percent of that, but training week of camp is over. If anything, I'm not fully prepared but I am fully willing to be bent for the kid's that I will work with. I'm nervous, but I have to remember that these kids are looking up to me.

It's going to be tight.
I'm reading two books. These should provide though provoking topics to blog about.

But for now I will blog about my new friends. FROM AROUND THE WORLD ( I said that in a New Zealand accent). So cool

this is so uneccessary

Today, after a long day without coffee, and the biggest migraine ( I say that every time), I went to a store with people from camp. This store was interesting, because everything was in Spanish but we were in America. Where they speak English. However, we are located right outside DC, and it is probably common for such a diverse group of people.

Also, I laughed a lot. It was nice and fluffy.

Sometimes when you pray for things, God just answers your prayers for you.

"If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 Chronicles 7:14

it's the camp of the ultimate weapon...

Hiya, posting from Silver Spring, MD here. I arrived yesterday and I was nervous.

Overwhelemed and kindof changed my mind, but when my mom left I knew I had to make the best of it. And it's been about a day and some hours, and everything is okay. It's going to be okay. Teenagers will be my best friend by the end of the summer

I can't wait.

I live in a family from the church's home, and they have internet and a nice comfy bed and there are two people here from school that I know. Basically, God set this up just right for me. I love it. And I'm close to home, so I know how it feels when I'm at school and people live two hours away. :)

bye, for now.

living rightly

(October 2009)


Number 1 - I've been running for just about three months. I've lost 12ish pounds, and that's with about two weeks of break (thank you finals and foot injury), and the total amount of weight loss is shy of 30 pounds. When I say that it feels like I'm robbing people of some false hope - like the weight just melts away, when in reality I feel just the same as I did a year and some months ago.

I needed to end this, I went on a hunt and I compared pictures.
(April/May 2011)
You probably can't notice it, but I can. It feels good, but I'm only far from done.

It's kindof like that saying about still running in the forest or something crazy like that.

Number 2 - The reality that this is the last summer I hold until I am done with my undergrad it scary. I'm looking at grad schools all over the nation, I'm not afraid to go anywhere, but the more I think about it the more I am. I would love to study in New England, or the West Coast, and it would be so much fun, but how would I feel okay? I wouldn't have any friends or family around me, and I would not know what to do with myself. But - life is full of opportunities and there is a world out there that is yet to be discovered. What will I do to make money? Where will I study? What will I study? How will I pay for it?! so.many.questions, and so much time to answer them. Sometimes, it's just that effort to go forth and make it happen.

I'm making it happen.
