Summer 2008.

Wow! This summer has been nothing but activity after activity. School got out June 2nd and basically I just spent the next few days hanging out with friends before I left for Kentucky. On June 8th I left for Laurel Mission in Big Laurel Kentucky. That was an amazing trip. Although I wished there had been more interaction within the trip, lately I've begun to realize changes that happened within me during the trip. I've definately become a lot more patient. So far, I've had very few fights with my family because I am now capable of ignoring my dads attempts to push my buttons. I'm also more independent now, I think I've begun to do a lot more on my own and be less dependent on my friends. Maybe the trip wasn't everything I expected but now coming back from it I see some definate changes in my personality. We got home from that trip on June 13 and I had to begin unpacking and repacking to leave for camp on June 15th. Camp this year was AMAZING. Our speaker, Jason Holdridge was such a dynamic and amazing speaker. Later, I'll be copying Brandi and typing out a list of things I learned from him =]. But this guy literally changed my life, he taught me how to take the next step in my faith by accepting Jesus' invitation into HIS life, instead of our inviataion for him to join our already cluttered life. On Wednesday, June 18th 2008, I made another commitment to God and I became a new part of His heart. It was beautiful to see 90% of the room crying and making a commitment to follow him, some people even made first commitments while everyone else recommited.
Thank you Jason.
