Git-R-Done!
SpringHill Update:
We are bringing week 9 to a close tomorrow and then it's the last week. It's crazy thinking back to the begining of staff training and how bad we want kids to come, and now we are like "send them away!" Haha! Okay, so it's not that bad. My week is going great! I am so happy to be back doing target sports. It is certainly more relaxing than counseling. I am looking forward to the target sport staff fishing late tonight. Hopefully we catch that 36 inch pike. I am trying to figure out if I want to set a new record in eating island burgers. I heard Dallas ate 7 of them, so I may do 8. But that is a ridicualous amount of food. But it would be good to hold that record, so I may skip lunch to make sure I have the appetite.
God & Me
Unfortunately, my sights on God have to taked away for the last few weeks. Nothing in particular, but I just lost my focus. It's mainly been the last three weeks. But I am trying to regain my focus because I want week 10 to be like week 1. Even though its the last week, it doesn't mean that as a staff we should check out until all the kids are gone. Right now I have just been praying relentlessly to get refocused on God because that is what I need in my life. I have had alot going on with me and around me. And I have become distracted. Between my grandfather being taken to a hospital, me trying to get all set to move to Ferris, finding a job, and just being really aggitated I have lost my sight on the One. It's no one's fault but my own, so I just want to gear up and serve Him.
Other Stuff:
Thank you to those who prayed for my grandfather, he is going to be released either today or tomorrow. As he get's closer to being 100, we (as his family) need to be more aware of his health. Right now I am trying to figure out is he has committed his life to Christ. I heard the story when my grandmother passed away, about him praying in the field with the pastor. But over the years his attitude may not have shown that. I love my grandfather and I am praying for a way to know that he will spend an eternity in heaven. The same goes for my family. I was encouraged last Saturday night when my dad told me that he wished he was more informed on things like me being baptized and becoming a member of WOL. I am thinking that when I am done at SpringHill, I may see if my parents want to go to church with me on the 21st. So to those who read this, please pray for me and that if they do come that the message they hear speaks to their hearts and wants them to become more curious about God.
I got my pictures developed finally, which is cool. Some pictures from camp, one from racing, some my family reunion (including a funny one of my brother and I), and some from Matt & Katie's wedding. I really want to get pictures of all my friends up in Alpena so that I can put them on a board in my apartment when I move. I am kind of worried about living alone, but when I look at the board and all my friends, I can pray for them or even call them.
Final Instructions...
I feel like an apostle or something when I have headings like that, but oh well. I just want to encourage you all that read this to cast all your worries onto God and let Him take care of them. It sounds easy and we do that, but then we still hold onto them. I am learning to just let them go and He will take care of it. I am feeling so much better now that I cannot help but smile. His love for us has no beginning or end, it cannot be measured, or compared. So take time today and just tell God thank you for loving us and thank Him for at least five things in your life. You will be amazed at how much more He has blessed you! I love you all and if you need prayer for anything at all, let me know. Because as Christians, we are not to bear our burdens by ourselves.
