wow..it seems like a million years have gone by since the last time i was at the computer, whats sad is its only been a little over a week. training/orientation week at camp was insane. there way of camp life is one heck of a whirlwind of craziness. for example camp started today and 75% of the decorations and posters still aren't up, but its whatever.
for those of you not completely familiar with what i'm doing, heres the scoop. I'm in Brenham, Texas working with 8 other Aggies at an inner city day camp for the next eight weeks. I'm leading the 7&8 year old girls..we are the Lady Lightweights :) this years theme is Soul Trainin'..the battle belongs to the Lord..kinda a boxing/training motif :) anyways, one thing i definitely learned is that i'm more Type A than i thought I was...get put in a situation wherer NO one will make a decision and you brainstorm for 4 hours instead of actually do something..you realize you kinda life order and decisiveness :) but its cool, i've got the assertion thing down-leading is what i know :) hmm, what else..well i'm living in a missionary house with the other 3 girl counselors..and when i say missionary house, i mean a family is gone being missionaries and they left us their house..ie-i'm sleeping in a king size in what we like to call "the honeymoon suite" its all floraled out, with white everywhere..the room is definitely bigger than my apartment :) yes, suffering for the Lord :)
i miss you guys like crazy & i hate not feeling connected to the outside world. my phone works about 40% of the day & interent access isnt the greatest. yet, the counselors are neat kids-i'm the oldest, thats why i got the master bedroom..isnt that hysterical?
Time with the Lord has been so sweet. He has proven himself so close & faithful through prayers and Scripture. Time with Him at night has been incredibly encouraging and we start our leader bible study on Friday, i'm real excited, we'r'e going to be studying spiritual disiciplines!
Please keep my family in your prayers, my great grandmother, whom i shared my birthday with passed away on saturday, i actually had to leave camp today to come to the funeral in Sealy & am at the public library here checking email & such. Kirk Grandma, was 95 years old. I have lots of sweet memories with her. she loved the Lord so much and her family almost as much. As sad as it is, I rejoice because I know she isnt in anymore pain and she's with our Almighty Father celebrating with him.
I hate having to end on that sad note, but I've got to head back to Brenham. Please send letters or gimme a call sometime-i'll try to respond as quickly as i can. know i'm thinking of you guys and i love yall a whole lot!
grace, lish
