hey!

I'm home from camp! It was so amazing! I can't even tell you how good it was. I have never been in a place with so many people who love God so much. I expected it to be that, but it so surpassed my expectations. It was such a huge blessing in so many ways, I am so glad I went.

I'll have to do some long post about it some time, but right now, I'm exhausted. Well, I'm really tired, but I'm also kind of alert because A) I don't have time to take a nap right now so I need to be awake, and B) I'm so joyful right now! I've got the after camp spiritual high. But I'm really glad for it. Last night we had a really good closing communion service that went pretty late, and I guess I'm kind of emotionally drained from that too. And saying goodbye to all the teens I worked with and got to know at camp and the children at our club. Weeks like this remind me what life is about. Why shouldn't that keep going all year round? It's hard to leave the things I'm so passionate about. Our last day of club went so great, but I so wanted to come back today and just love those kids. They need it so much.

Anyway, I'll go on about that some other time.

I've been trying to do some major cleaning in my room so I can sleep on my bed tonight, and I have to leave for my nieces first birthday party in about twenty minutes.

But, it was so nice to take a hot shower and take my time getting dressed with music playing, and just to sit around with my family and talk for a while. AND it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL out! I want to go to the beach and play.

haha.
