Hello Everyone,
Sorry about not updating sooner. I’ve been running around like crazy trying to get things done after camp. Anyways, I am trying to reserve time to write here and let you all know what is going on in lifel Well, this is my first school year, where I don’t have school. Imagine that! Haha, so for all you kiddies who are still in school, enjoy.. because I am done. Well, kind of, I have college to look forward to now, but still, it isn’t high school.

So, I hope that everyone is doing well. Leave me a comment! Let me know that you’re alive. If you’re in the Columbus, OH area hit me up, I am always up to hanging out, as long as I know in advance so I can plan for it.

Later,
J

Hey Everyone,

Well, where to start? I have like a month to make up in entries. So much is going on and changing right now in my life. One thing I’ve found it that God seems to always choose the summer to refine my walk with Him. Ever since Mount of Praise ’01, I have began a deeper spiritual journey that is renewed and deepened each summer. Last year was my first experience of 100% faith based decision making. God taught me that if I only trust Him that He’ll take care of you, because you’re following His will for your life. This year it is something new, and I need to do more praying and research to find out what God is really trying to reveal to me.

 

I began my summer at Jr. Camp. I knew hardly anyone, and I began to make friends slowly but surly, and by the end of the week, I had a new set of friends. Then week two came along, which is where my best friend decided to throw our friendship in the trash for a week, now he’s realized it and is trying to put it back together. I sang again at this camp. At first I didn’t want to, and was going to back out. Then God decided that He was going to send his child some encouragement. I, normally, am very self conscious about my singing. I was just walking around camp and was singing some song and people were like, dude you need to sing in service. I finally took the hint from God, and sang. I am glad I did, and the funny part is that I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I would be. So, thing’s have been extremely awesome!

 

The last camp I am at, and where this is being written at is Nipgen Family Camp. I am enjoying myself, my roommate is out for the night, so I have the room to myself and I get to sit here at 1:00 AM and write journal entries. I am leaving this open so I can add to it when I get back home. I am going to pack right now, but I will finish off this entry and post it when I get back home to my internet!

Well. I am home now. Here to finish out my huge post. I miss everyone I met from camp. I will though get to see them  at Yuthfest. So… now I am just getting ready to go to bed. I hope that everyone is doing well… Keep in touch.
