Sunday. what a glorious day.
we finished camp at Somerset today. I didn't know what I expected to happen at camp, but I am pleasantly surprised and just so thankful from my teammates. They are amazing. I am glad to be back on campus, but I am sad to not be with my team anymore. We work so well together! Its amazing! I am so thankful for all of them. As some of you know, I struggled last summer a little bit, and I don't expect this summer to be a walk in the park either, but that's just it, I'm choosing to have no expectations. I am not going to expect people to act a certain way, or respond this way or that. I know that I am a servant of a servant. that I have no rights, and that I have no right to expect anything from anyone. I am responsible for myself, and how I react to what happens. i am not to judge anyone or make assumptions.
God has been chipping away at my critical heart for a couple of years now. I am better at not criticizing others, but I still struggle deeply with self criticism. I know that everyone is hard on themselves, but I am terrible to myself. I demand perfection from myself. always. no exceptions. If I can't do it perfect, I don't do it at all.
That's another thing that I need accountability on. I need to realize and come to terms with my imperfections. I need to remember that when I am weak, because of Christ, then I am strong!

The Adventure Called Life Day 124...weekend retreat...
so its finally here, my Well Spring team is hitting the road and going to Somerset Beach Campground for the weekend! and its only the second day of classes for second semester :) I only have one more class today, its Spanish 2.
and i think i'll have to stop at Sacred Grounds before my next class. I need a little caffiene to ensure i don't fall asleep before its time tonight. I think I'm almost all packed, so i can just come back from class, eat a sandwich, take a nap, get a quick shower and run out the door to meet up with the team.
I am super pumped for this retreat. I've been praying that God will show up and move in a might way in these kids' hearts and lives. I'm excited to get to know my teammates better, but also to get to know the kids and serve them!!
Lord,
grant us your protection as we travel, and keep up all healthy and warm this weekend. We are going to Somerset to meet with you, and to serve your purpose of bringing your Kingdom to Earth. We love you. We adore you, we exalt you and praise you for this opportunity and the talents and gifts you have given us!!
In Jesus' name,
Amen
