Oh, Camp

I am sitting here on my bed, in my room, at my house thinking of what life is all about, to me anyway. I think of work, church, sitting around and family. I dont ever think of the little things. Like today, I went to pick up Gabrielle from her week of camp at Quartz Mountain Christian Camp. She had a blast, we talked about it for a couple hours actually. She told me everything, well pretty much, which guys were cute, whoe she hung out with, her best friend Ashley's emotional moment due to a lesson on Family and moving. It was great just to sit and listen to what fun Gab had for a while.

I miss camp, I only went a couple times, and I have been on plenty of retreats at camps to make me miss it. I do encourage anyone to go to camp, to me it is a life changing experience. I can not really explain to you about camp in my eyes, it is outdoors and sticky, and gross but you really do not think about that while you are there, and may I remind you, I am talking about church camp and only church camp (this is the only camp I have ever liked... I HATED girl scouts camp). You have quiet time, yes quiet time, not necessarily a nap or anything, time to think, pray, read your Bible, simple things like that. It is a very moving moment for some. I have begun thinking about my future a lot lately and how I want to be a better person and all. I feel that if I start now I have a better chance of a change then if I start later on in life. I have a 12 year old sister looking at me everyday, my mom helped me realize tonight that I am an example to Gab, and I realized I am not being the example I should be.

I have been thinking of work, my future husband (to whom which I really dont know who he is yet), my finances, my house, everything that goes into your future and what I am going to make of my own. It has made me put a hold on the life I was living to a new one. I have begun to move on and see that it is time for it. I know I have said that before, but I am actually not just saying it this time. I have been reading my Bible, and I have been enjoying going to church, and being with people from church and hanging out with people that I go to church with. It is a great feeling to know you are wanted, and that people like you that you are around only at church, and now not just at church. I am beginning to love life more and I want to explore more in life and see what I can do!!

Well Erin and I decided we wanted to go on the Mission Trip to Mississippi in July, so we went into the youth ministers office to leave him a note to tell him we were going to be 2 of the 25 who went on the trip, and we noticed his office was, oh, ummm DULL... so we livined it up a little, we made colorful signs and stuff and put them on the walls and on the drawers and made a cute sign that we majorly taped to his door for everyone to see... it was great bonding time with a person that I like and that likes me and with a person who likes to hang out whenever and we get along great. I love it!! Well I am off to bed, I have to get up in the morning to begin redoing my room... I am painting it and "redecorating" it kind of... I hope that I like it, if I dont... I have to live with it!
