"She knows how to run, let's teach her how to walk..."

Well, Kids Kamp came and went....it really feels like it was just a blink of an eye! I had the 20 coolest kids in the whole camp though!! I did have a hard time with some of the workers, but I was convicted that I wasn't there for the workers, that I was there for the kids. So I loved on kids, and was loved on by them! A sweet little boy named Parker would give me a hug everyday as he left, he melted my heart.

I've worked a ton, and baby-sat a ton lately. I love, love, LOVE working with kids! Spending my mornings with Ethan and Jude were definately a highlight of my week this week...I'm looking forward to getting to do it for the next 3 weeks! I can't even begin to describe the joy I get from loving on kids and being trusted with every parents most precious thing in their world...

I start school soon, I really can't decide my feelings on it. I want to be back, because there are aspects of life in Bolivar that I love! But then I think about some of the negative aspects of being there. I then start thinking of the awesome people here and my life, and the negative things. My heart is so torn, I just don't know what to think and to do! I'm very unsettled about the whole thing.

I love being led by the Spirit when I think of people. I was asleep one night and was woken up in complete distress about a friend of mine, I didn't know what was going on with her, but I knew she wasn't doing great. I was broken hearted for her, and began to pray for her. I fell asleep again after about an hour and a half. I woke up the next morning after not much sleep feeling better than I had in a while, knowing god gave the rest I needed.

I've been praying to be given oppertunities to be the body. its been exciting to see how God has answered that, by opening my eyes to things.

I love being able to laugh! To hang out with girls I love and just have fun. I am such a blessed person, with major imperfections and flaws, but it never ceases to amaze me how wonderfully people love me!
