Almost over.

My parents are on their way here.
It's July 8th.
I can't believe Camp T is over in about 24 hours. I'm a little numb to it right now...more to come about all of this but I honestly can't believe that my parents roll in tomorrow evening to pick me up. What the junk?!

I couldn't be happier with where I am right now but couldn't be more sad to leave...

I am excited to go home and process all of this...and so thankful for what the Lord has already taught me.
I have made lifelong friends, memories that will last, and have experienced once again, how sovereign the Lord is.

The last five weeks went a bit fast..but I'm ready for whatever He has :)

i LOVE today.

...

Sometimes I am just completely lost at what the Lord is doing...

too confused.

No words..

Today was incredible..

This week was the beginning of teen weeks at Camp T and I have never been more impressed and more excited about a group of 15-17 year old girls. We had devotions tonight for over 1 1/2 hours and can tell that these girls are searching and genuinely excited about finding a freedom in Christ. My heart broke tonight for these young women and can not even explain to you how excited I am that the Lord is using my co-counselor's and I this week.

Beyond the details, however, I have been confirmed over and over again about my passion for kids and this generation. I know, without a doubt, that I am in love with what this summer has been all about. I'm in love with pouring into kids and believing in their potential. More importantly, I'm in love with places like Camp T that are all about being yourself and tearing off the masks that we all place. I've never been somewhere where I felt like being vulnerable is 100% accepted and asked for. There is something about this place that shouts to kids that it's okay to be who you were created to be. I love it.

I am in such a bittersweet state right now. Knowing that the end of my time here is coming completely breaks my heart...seriously, it feels like I'm breaking up with camp. However, there is something exciting about going home and heading back to school for one more great year with my friends. Either way, today is where I am, and I can't stop smiling! The Lord has done some amazing things...and I'm ready and waiting for what's next. I can say, however, that coming back next summer is exactly what I'm hoping for..

still loving today.

There is NO ONE like You.

This past week has been absolutely incredible when it comes to my cabin. I have loved every single minute of hanging out with my girls and figuring out the best ways to make them understand God's love for them.

Last night was the high of my week as I got to hang out with them without their "full-time" counselors. We sat in our room and talked about what it really means to be beautiful and how being yourself and being confident in that is the most beautiful thing ever. These girls are 8 and 9 years old and were seriously understanding that Jesus looks on the inside and not the outside. If only I would have grasped that when I was 8 years old...

I have never been more blessed and can not wait to see what the next few weeks look like now that the teenagers are coming. I am super excited and a little nervous as this brings a whole new dynamic to camp. Either way, I know the Lord is here and ready to move in the hearts of these teens as well as my own. Camp Timberline is honestly an anointed place. The Lord is working and it is so exciting to be used.


As far as I go...Not sure where the Lord is taking me personally right now, but I have never been more ready to follow blindly.

loving today.

loving it.

I 100% absolutely and completely love it here. I can't think of a place I'd rather be right now than exactly where I'm at. The Lord is SO good...His sovereignty is unbelievable. The sights, the beauty..but most importantly the people are what I love most. I've made some friendships that I know will last forever. I'm so thankful for the Lord and His timing in my life...He really does know what He's doing :)

Here's to hoping the next five weeks go as slow as possible...

Terrified.

So...I'm terrified of flying.
I leave for Colorado in less than two days and I am freaking out about the flight. Don't get me wrong, I'm more than ready to be outta here and on with a new slice of life but I am absolutely and positively scared of flying.

I guess I just needed to get that out...I'd appreciate your prayers!

Thanks...and that's all :)

I went to a Shane and Shane concert today and after listening to one of my favorite songs...I decided that I wanted to put it up as a prayer for my life:

"Holy design,
This place in time.
That I might seek and find my God, my God.

Lord I want to yearn for You,
I want to burn with passion,
Over You and only You.
Lord I want to Yearn.

Your joy is mine,
Yet why am I fine?
With all my singing and bringing you grain,
In light of Him.

Lord I want to yearn for You,
I want to burn with passion,
Over You and only You.
Lord I want to yearn.

Oh You give life and breath,
Through Him You give all things.
In Him we live and move,
That's why I sing"

I love these lyrics because they aren't implying that I've "gotten it." They aren't implying that I go throughout my day completely innocent of straying away from my God. What they do imply is that my heart wants to learn how to yearn for Christ and that I do have a desire to be consumed with a burning passion for Him. That's why this is my prayer for now and forever. I never want to stop desiring a passionate relationship with Him.
