Now Just Memories

Wow...I don't know how time flew by so quickly. Or maybe it didn't, but it's still so hard to believe that 8 months of school is over now, even though so much has happened. Good-byes weren't easy, and it's hard to believe that I won't be seeing everyone again in a couple of weeks. It's interesting to look back to the beginning of the year and remember what we thought of each other and how we got along and then compare it to now. Our friendships are so much deeper now, and everyone has grown so much over the time we spent together. It's such an incredible experience to be able to spend a year with a group of Christians and build up friendships. They're always there for you and concerned about how you're doing and what's going on in your life. If you ever need to talk they are so willing to listen to you and pray for you. Just knowing that there is a whole group of them praying for you is such a huge comfort. God used every one of them to help me grow this year. The encouragement I received this year helped me in so many ways. I love all of you and I'm so glad that God brought you into my life. I can't put into words the impact that you have had on my life. I hope that this year will go well for you and that I'll be able to see all of you again. Maybe next year... ;) This year is done now. There are just memories left; memories and great friendships!

I'm glad to be done assignments now, but I've got some big decisions to make over the next few weeks. I have been given the opportunity to be able to work at camp this summer and then go back to KLBC for second year. I'm not really sure what God wants me to do, though I'm leaning more towards Graphite and KLBC now. If I don't go then I'll have to find a job somewhere and I'll just end up working for the year. Our youth group isn't doing as well as we would like, so if I stay home next fall I'll end up taking that over and hopefully turning it into more of an outreach to the community. I know that I can be used at camp, and I'd absolutely love to go, so I just need to keep praying and hopefully I'll be able to make my decision soon.

There are boxes and bags of stuff everywhere!! My room is a huge mess. I brought all of my stuff back from school, and I don't know where I'm going to put it all. I have to totally re-sort my room and I think I'm going to have to pack a bunch of stuff in boxes that I won't need for a little while. I should have done most of that today, but I had a lazy day. I think I'll stay home tomorrow and get my room all cleaned up. On Wednesday I'm heading out to my grandparents raspberry farm to do some work. I think I may spend a couple of weeks there and I'll be able to help my aunt and my grandma with stuff around their houses too. It should be pretty fun, but I won't be home very much. Busy, busy, busy...I guess it's better than having nothing to do!

Ok...I haven't done much, so I should go and clean some more. I miss all of you and I wish the best for you this year. God used you this year at KLBC and if you continue to serve Him, He'll use you in might ways!
Love and prayers for you all.
