So I'm sitting here on my porch, and I am very sweaty. My co-counselor/sandwich delivery woman is doing who-knows-what all around camp. I am running circles around my porch. Well, I was. I ran for a while, then I did 50 situps. Then I did 65 lunges (which are harder than you think!) Then I ran some more and did a 2 minute wall sit. I am getting quite the workout! I'm not sure what is motivating me, but hey, whatever it is, I hope it keeps on motivating!

Today I swam in the New Life Camp pool. That pool is such a blessing. We prayed for that thing so hard! God is good. It is super awesome. I got a little burned, but it was worth it, and maybe it'll turn into tan? We shall see!

I realized a huge problem. I am a server person. I am a Martha. Yes, I work at camp, and yes, I believe that God wants me here to serve Him. The problem is that I am getting so caught up in all the work and all my jobs and making sure I have just enough time to do them all so that I can hang out with people I want to hang out with later. I am not being selfish about my relationship with Christ, and it is hurting me. In my actions I see myself as a good person who is helping God. I am helping God? Am I crazy? Yeah, probably. Every BREATH I take is from Him...

Toooo the dining hall :)

deflecting the blame

Oh, Adam and Eve, you really blew it.


(Don't you wish we could blame it all on them?)

oh brother..

So today during ultimate elimination, this TobyMac song started playing. Here are the lyrics. I hope they make you laugh! Oh, I changed the color on some of my "favorite" lines :)

Rock, rock 

Give me that rock 

That hip, that rock 

Give me that funky 

Yo stick it in red 

We got the cred 

No need to say what's already been said 

Don't need to please 

When we got the proof 

We be on our knees 

When we raise the roof 

'Cause we got the 

Wow pow mix of flavor 

We got the funky Jesus blazer 

No equal 

Diverse people 

Come get it now 

Won't be a sequel 

None of that mumbo jumbo 

Give me that hip hop funk soul 

Give me that funky Jesus music 

Give me that soulful gumbo 

Give me that funky 

Funky Jesus Music 

Give me that hip, that rock, that funky soul 

Give me that juicy flow 

Give me that funky 

Funky Jesus Music 

Give me that hip, that rock, that funky soul 

And watch this party grow 

Let's go 

Look at them freaks, they fashion loud 

Makin' that hotness, movin' that crowd 

Bumpin' that jump with a life injection 

Sweet to the ears like the candy section 

Hits to the eyes 

Feels so fly 

Fashion that just won't subside 

We got this winner's ball 

So check it out 

Gonna' watch 'em fall 

We're goin' back 

We're goin' way back 

From coast to coast 

This is the most 

We got beats and rhymes 

And aftershows 

We got funky people on the highs and lows 

MC's like Wiggy they call us pros 

So, sure shot, I could take stock 

of this 

I'll play the post in the b-boy bliss 

See, we bum rush with no discussion 

A red hot show with freak production 

books

C.S Lewis is so wise. I just randomly picked up The Weight of Glory and I want to read it. I hope that I can find time this summer! I guess I'll just have to become one of those obnoxious reader people :) A few years ago I would just walk around reading books. Thanks to skype, texting, cars, and such I don't read quite as often. I must return to my old self!

I am really looking forward to orientation week! I love this staff and I am so excited about hanging out with them all week :)





I need to be smart and strong.
