jr high camp . host family . life in general

Maddy is one of the kids I live with. She is 4 and super cute. We are really goofy all the time and I love it. One of her favorite things is to take pictures on my computer. Random fact: Little kids are funny and I decided that I want kids for sure. Girl-first name Peyton. Boy-middle name Alan.
This is a picture of my group at jr high camp. They were all 8th graders and I loved being their leader. It was one of the best weeks ever. These kids have so much potential and they don't even realize it. I am so excited to be spending the whole summer with them. Not to mention, our group won the overall camp competition. Winning is awesome and my kids deserved it. They were awesome servants and leaders all week. I spoke at one of the sessions at camp and it was pretty cool. I have not spoken a lot in front of big crowds but Blake asked me to do it. He believed in me and I have a hard time saying no. I am so glad I did because it was a big learning moment for me. Random fact: there were snakes at camp and I hated them but would go on golf cart adventures looking for them.
This is what I do in the down time of my super busy schedule...sit in my backyard by the pool and draw or listen to music and write. I love my life. God has me in such a good spot right now and I am so thankful. We all know I needed it. I could not have asked for a better summer. Random Fact: God has a bigger plan for my life than the one I had for myself. I cant be a snow globe if those bigger plans are going to work. There is a huge part of me that is still really broken. Time is slowly picking those pieces up off the ground. I have faith and will not give up on picking up pieces and tearing down walls.
