I am so excited that summer is here! I cannot believe it's nearly the end of June already. Boy. Well, I haven't been up keeping the blog too much. The last two weeks I was at a local camp (Arrowhead Bible Camp), which was completely amazing altogether. wwww.basicdiscipleship.org Good stuff. It was incredible how much I learned there and the family we all formed. I miss all of my fellow disciples so much! Praying & learning together creates a unique bond. I can't wait for our reunions now. :) Also, while there I accomplished two specific things on my to do list for this summer.
- I got to go tubing down the Apple River -I wanted to do that so bad this summer. I was ecstatic when I found out the BASIC group was going. I also found out that I have issues staying on my tube.
2. I saw a falling star! It has always been my dream to see a falling star. That was something I wanted to check off on my list this summer. Well, while camping, after tubing down the river, I was star gazing and saw not one, but three shooting stars! ... needless to say this was a happy day.
One thing that sticks very prominently in my head about those weeks is the being of a servant. I never really understood so much about being a disciple and a servant of Jesus Christ. It just amazes me how Holy God is and His sovereignty that I take for granted. And what perfect joy is. And Non Nobis. Latin for "not to us". Since my mind is one that likes to wander a lot, that phrase has been my orange juice. And just learning how effective prayer is and how personal and bonding. And how important God's word really is. I think it's so crazy how I was this little girl in church who knew so much about the Bible and God and I haven't even scratched the surface of what God really is. T'is amazing. So, yeah...
We should do something crazy this summer. Maybe we could start a gang... or convert one... (sorry, only a few people will probably get that). Pretty soon I will be stuck in Drivers Ed. It's about time, you say? Yeah, I know. :) Then I will need to get a job. Save up some money for a car, or college. Or I could take Cody's advice and skip college, who needs school? I'm seriously considering that though, depending on what I want to do with my life. I don't know. Right now I'm not worried at all about that, which surprises me a little. But really, why spend so much time chasing after the unknown will of God when I can now be learning as much as I can about the already revealed will of God? Think about it. :P Maybe in the process I will find something. Whatever. It's all good. What are you doing this summer? You should call me. Or I should call you. I'm not the best at initiating phone conversations, sometimes I mumble. It's harder to do that on a keyboard... unless you don't have any fingers that is. If I had no fingers, I would buy a nice cell phone plan. Maybe get a cell phone like CJ's where you can just say the name of the person you want to call and it dials. I'm sure that would be much easier, unless of course I mumbled with my mouth too. Then I would just get a web cam or something to that effect. I don't know... what do you think? Alright, it's late. I'm beginning to ramble on uselessly now. Yeah, if you get bored, give me a call and I can tell you stories from camp, blood and all. :P
I'm having a garage sale next weekend. I have so much junk, it makes me sad. I need to clean out my scarves tomorrow. 70 is just too much for one person.
Anyways, I love you all. Have an amazing summer.
Keep on, Chey.
