Oh... the joy of summertime!

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.

1. 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.

Quite the eventful evening...

Yesterday was one crazy evening! Which usually wouldn't be a suprise, except that this involved 911. The little kids were playing in the back yard, Gabby was batting and Jed got a little too close (not that her batting is safe under any circumstances).
It scared me so bad, looking in the back yard and seeing Wyn holding Jed with blood everywhere. She had his blood all over her shirt and down her arms, and his whole face and shirt was covered. Normally blood doesn't bother me that much, but when it's that much and from the head, it freaks me out. So, obviously 911 was called and the ambulance came had to put a neck brace on him and get him on a stretcher. My Mom said she was so scared that she was losing him when he almost lost conciousness. Here's what I think is crazy, he comes home not even an hour later with a band-aid! After all of that, he gets to the hospital and the doctors say his head is half healed already. How does that work? Of course they still had to test him and make sure there was no damage, but he walks out just fine. Showing off his neck brace he got to keep as a sovunier. That boy amazes me. He is such a miracle kid, if you want to talk medically, he should have been dead 5 times and he's only 5. But evertime he gets better. A lot of people were praying for him, I know. man, he scares me so bad. Mom has banned baseball from our house from now on. I'm sure he'll just find another way to scare us though. Anyways, that was my evening.

Random quote from him today...
"some people are black, some people are white... and some people are green. Like Yoda!"

Happy Tees

So, today I decided that my generation is obsessed with skulls and everything labeled "emo", and I needed to do something to lighten the mood. See, skulls are a little too scary for me to be adding to my wardrobe, so I decided to start making my own kind of t-shirts and things called Happy Skulls! I set up an online store today if you'd like to see some of the shirts I have up as of yet. http://www.cafepress.com/HappySkullsTees

I'm pretty excited about this, it's been fun!

I want to wear flip-flops...

Exactly. Just when I thought spring was really here, and summer not far off, it had to go and snow again! This saddens me deeply. I was going to build a snow man holding a picket sign declaring "NO MORE SNOW!"... and then pour a bucket of boiling water over it. But, thankfully, there wasn't enough snow for that. Not that I don't like snow, I love it. I was incredibly excited, if not exstatic, when it finallly came to RL. But now I'm longing for spring and warm weather. So that I can wear flip-flops, and maybe even plant a flower... Good thing I haven't or the poor flower would be dead.

This makes me laugh

Stick person Humor

It's an average day, and nothing really sticks out.

I'm skating on the same route.

I'm feeling fine.

I've got nothing to complain `bout.

I'm on my way.

It's just an average day.

I'm listening to that song right now by The W's.

I like that song.

It's a good song.

Anyways, that's about how my day has been going.

I'm feeling fine, but nothing crazy has been happening. It's a good way to go.

My past week has been pretty good. On Monday I went with a friend of mine to spirit mountain to go skiing. That was very fun, I hadn't gone in awhile!

Today we got dumped with more snow, which I don't mind since it makes up for the lack there of that Rice Lake has been suffering from.

So, I made this pancake the other day and it was SMILING! No joke. See for yourself. It has a perfect smily face in it... I was going to sell it on ebay, but I was kind of hungry. Oh, well.

So, like the pancake says. Have a happy day.
