for me this is heaven.

i don't know what it is about that song. it's amazing. even more amazing when I hear the Ransom Notes sing it completely acapella.

I was telling Michael last night that my past couple of weeks here have been extremely awkward. God is doing some weird things in my life and I'm having weird feelings. I still don't know what I'm doing here. I know that I'm here for some reason but I just can't put my finger on it. I'll probably never know; or maybe I do know but am oblivious to it all.

Next week is crunch time. I have to complete five quizzes, a midterm and a research paper proposal. I can do it. If I do like two quizzes a day and then spend an entire day doing my midterm. It'll be fine.

I'm pretty excited about my 4th of July road trip with my best friends. hector is about to do abilene. get ready. it's going to be filled with fun all-nighters, playing on the lake, sand volleyball and complete randomness/craziness because it's we're all getting back togeth. before we go to abilene, i will be venturing to the Highland Park/Coppell/North Dallas area. That, will also be fun.

I'm just excited about what God is doing here and stuff. At the same time, it hurts. Oh well. Parents are starting to arrive. ttyl

someday sarah

dave barnes goes hard. i'm definitely seeing him next time he comes to Austin. Hopefully he comes with Matt or Andy.

I really wish I had the house to myself. It seems like all my Grandma does is yap too much! I can't stand it! I wish she would just stay in her room all day and give me money for gas and leisure activities! God! grant me peace with that!

Yet again, another day pretty much wasted. I should probably be reading my government book and taking the quiz that follows. Hopefully I can do that later! I need to get the majority of this class over with! It's soooo hard to get focused! I should probably pray for focus and concentration while I'm still here trying to finish this class. Until then, I'll just listen to Foreverandever over and over again! HAHA! I LOVE CAMP OZARK!

Well, the rest of my day includes watching TV, spending way too much time on the computer slash facebook, writting Joe and Katy Sims at Laity Lodge, you know, hangin out. Overall this posting was pretty much useless. oh well.

six months later

wow, it's been a while since i've been on this thing. december 29th was my last posting. there's soooo much to say, sooo much i've done over these past six months. this last six months have been of the greatest and worst times of my life, emphasis on greatest. i can't even begin to explain the amazing things that have happened to me. i've been on some wild rides that God has put me through and came out on top. it's summer now and i'm back in Texas City. Not a day goes by that I don't wonder what the crap am I doing here this month (i'm only here for a month and then I go back to Camp Ozark!! (i can't wait!)) What is my purpose?! Clearly, God needed/wanted me here for some reason! What is it?! I dread everyday here. There's nothing to do. I usually just sit at the house ALL DAY. I don't have a job and I'm taking an online class which isn't too bad. I don't do enough for it. I can't see myself reading and doing all that everyday. I just have to get enough done these next three weeks before I leave for camp.

Oh camp, how I love/miss thee. Camp orientation was sooo much fun. It'll only be better with the kids being there. Caddo Heart is where it's at! Osage won orientation because the girls couldn't pick it up. Sorry Caddo girls, I love yall but we need to do better! Oh well, my tribal comp team with wreck, I can feel it.

Texas City is getting a YoungLife in the fall. Clint and Emily from Grace are now the Youth Pastors at Baypoint in Texas City! Clint was a YL leader at Creek and now he'll be the head guy at TCHS. It's going to be awesome! They are sending 15 Junior/Senior guys to Crooked Creek in July! Isn't that crazy?! Anderson only sent 10 guys to go to camp and even that was hard.

It's crazy how much I miss everyone. I didn't think it would be this bad. It is. I look forward to the day when we're all together in our house and when everyone else is in Austin and we can play again! It'll be sooo awesome! A few of the kids came down to Friendswood and we all hung out. It was probably the best three days of my summer. So far. I'm sure camp will be the best days of my life.

People are starting to come into the kitchen. I'll write back later.
