Camp this weekend was really great. I think it was the best work weekend I've been to so far, and I've been going for a long time, i think that was the 5th one. It was really good to see friends I haven't seen in a long time- although most of the ones from Ripon left on Saturday to go to prom. But we found some fun things to do to keep us entertained. Good talks, walks, soccer game, CAMPFIRE (bonfire really). It was just really good having an opportunity to leave this place behind for a while and go up to camp grow to serve God with all I had to give :)
I missed church today although the service at Terrace Shores was really good, it was about the story of the woman was was bleeding for 12 years and she touched Jesus and was healed through faith (mark 5?). I never got the aspect on it they gave us, so that was cool.
So I'm really going to miss being at camp after all this summer. There is this family up there (the clark family) and they're just.. amazing. I don't know how else to say it. It's weird to me almost to know people who grew up in a Christian home who are still SOOOOOO loving to everyone and crazy about Jesus and everything, but out of 6 kids, all of them are still devoted Christians and Gail and John.. we call John papa clark.. they're the sweetest parents I've ever met, and they are SOOOO incredibly loving. We were going home and papa clark was giving us all hugs and he gave us a kiss on the cheek like a dad might do. Even though I usually only see him over the summer (for the past 2 years it's been a long summer up there though), he's still probably just as much a dad as mine is, and i know if i needed anything that family is always there. Jakes the same age as me so i've known him the longest, but caiti and hannah are still awesome. *sigh* I just love that family to DEATH and I'm going to miss them so much this summer. That is my family right there, my family away from home :)
So it's 11:24 and I have school.. and my english teacher said i didn't turn in my final paper (which i definately handed to him on thursday and submitted online.. which had to be exactly the same so either way i have proof that it was done). Hope that one works out.. but i need to go to bed. Good night.
I'm so happy. God is incredible, and I love how he can just fill your life with joy in the smallest little ways. :)
