Embarking on a journey

So this is the first time I've had time to write on this. So sorry for the lack of updaaaates. But I think since I wrote last..um..several things have happened. First, dad is back in the hospital, and once again the doctors aren't quite sure what is wrong with him. But he has at least been in longer than 2 weeks, so maybe some progress will be made this time. I have hopes. Um..I think the big thing is that we started traveling for recruitment. The first week was absolutely amazing. I think I would stay there and do it all summer if I could. Park Springs definitely gave me hopes for the rest of summer, yet I think it also set the standards high? The band was amazing, left me speechless. Kinetic is my favorite now. Cameron and Daniel and everyone were so much fun to hang out with, and made the worship so ..wow. Met a lot of cool kids! I kept wondering why God had placed me on a travel team, and this camp is what started the understanding of it. One student I talked to, I had been through almost the same exact stuff, and to talk to him about it I think helped him and even helped me! It was a slightly depressing conversation yet amazing at the same time. I knew God had sent me to that camp at least to help him out. Also, I met another guy who was and is amazing in everyway. He helped me to realize what I deserve and to not settle for less. I definitely have a new confidence in some areas. While I was sad to see the week end, I was ready for another week. However, the next week totally snapped me back into reality. It was good, but very trying! I won't go into much detail but it took a lot more to connect with the kids and talk to them about the hard stuff. It was rather disappointing, but as Conley put it, I probably planted seeds. Which means I wouldn't have seen the plants grow in front of me, but they may later. Which helped a lot to think about. We spent the last two weeks with Billy and Isaac, and let me say-those two are absolutely amazing. They were so much fun to be around, and made me think about what life would've been like if I had attended JBC. Billy did tell me about their master's programs haha. But yeah. They spent last night here, and we went and saw Transformers 2. Isaac and I got sick cause we had to sit in the front. Then woke up this morning to fix them breakfast, and say goodbye. Was sad times :( Definately a trip to go see them soon. Well, I should get to bed. Tomorrow starts our week at Rudolph, which I am excited for since Ben and Conley will be there. We shall see what God has in store for us there! Later Gators
