finally

so like, sorry it's been so long since i've posted. my week has been amazing and fun and crazy and stressful and exhausting and boring and exciting. so if i give you all of the details then you'll fall asleep, but i will tell you a little of what i've been doing.

equip started tuesday. awesome class. i actually switched to the minisrty stream instead of worship because i feel like that's probably more where my heart is. and so this class is about leadership. and everone who is taking it should be gearing up to start their own life group or to team up with someone else in the class to lead one. wow! that's big.

and also i've gone to morning prayer all week. and we (jordan, jordan, jd, laiken, emily, whitney, and the other two kids whose names i can't think of or spell) helped roll tee shirts for camp and put them in bags with a wrist band and a magazine and a button.

then i went on an outreach on wednesday with jp, rachel, jordan, and again two people whose names i don't know. and we handed out gum downtown. which was sooo much fun. one man called us back after we had given him gum and were walking away. he asked us to pray for him because he is going through some hard times in his life right now. that was so amazing! right there in the middle of the sidewalk with people walking all around us- laying hands on this man! reaching the world by serving one. how cool is God!!

then i went to guitar lessons after the outreach. and then i went home to get ready for church. then i went back to church and helped brittany cut flyers and stuff. then i went to refuge and had an awesome time. God's presence was really strong. and i felt like i was more focused on Him than on myself because i had spent this week serving instead of sitting at home wondering what to wear the next day.

thursday i went to prayer and then baby-sat for the rest of the morning. then i went to the annex for the afternoon and went to life group that night.

friday was tee shirt day! and equip! we did shirts all morning and finished them right after lunch. then we had class at 2:30 and then heather, phill, jerusha, charis, stephanie, jordan, jd, and i folded a bunch of camp flyers and ate pizza.

today, i slept until 10:30, went to target, and went to the peru fundraiser at church. (blake, laiken, leah, brooke, brooke's mom, jared, miss amy, miss kim, harmony, lacy, and i- and another guy named tori!)

tomorrow, my little bro laeaves for pathfinders camp and i'm prolly going to the fundraiser again. and LIZZY gets home from wyoming tomorrow!!!!!!! i haven't seen her all summer! i miss ya, friend!

then monday is probably shopping for camp-swim suit, etc.

tuesday is morning prayer and equip class.

WEDNESDAY IS CAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
literally camp is almost equal to if not better than christmas for me!
(it costs just about as much. lol. but it's so worth it!)


so i know i said that i wasn't going to bore you with datails and stuff, but i did. so if you read all of it then you must've been really bored. and if you skimmed through it then you may have missed an important piece of information that will change your life. jk. :-)

so i'm really tired, but i've loved every minute of this week. God has been teaching me a lot about servanthood (through the equip class and through just being at the annex volunteering or going to outreaches and fundraisers) i've also gotten to hang out with my friends all week! that's a big plus for me.

i want God to be able to use me as His vessel. i want to allow myself to fade out of the picture because i am so focused on my Father. i want to forget about myself and think only about God and i want to lead others to Him.

so i promise i'm done with this post and you can stop reading now. lol.
