July 2012

It's already August?  Seriously??  I feel like the 4th of July was yesterday!  It has been one crazy, busy month filled with challenges, fun, laughter, adventures of a lifetime, and lots of lessons.  God is so good all the time and so much this month has proved just that.

Low:

• I have been trying to kick my first cold of the summer for about a week and a half.  I don't like it.
• Staff members are beginning to make their ways back home and I don't want them to leave yet.
• I found that a mouse had gotten into a bag of Skittles that I had forgotten in my suitcase last night.
• Grammy was going through some things medically, and I wasn't at home to be with her which made it hard, but she is doing better!
• I haven't seen Whit in a couple of months and I miss her dearly, but on the upside, she's in Africa spreading the Gospel!

High:

• IT RAINED!!!  :)

• I had an amazing family for Family 1, a great group of girls for Young Teen 2, a chance to recharge during Family 2, a great group of girls for Horsemanship Level 2, and the start to an amazing week as Craft Room Facilitator for Family 3!
• I'm staying in Lakeside for the second time this month and with the sweet relief that it is cooler!  :)
• My parents and Alex visited over a weekend after Young Teen 2 and we went to Cabela's and met up with some other staff for supper and had a great recharge weekend.
• Lookout Point.

• God has really been working in my heart this month on the whole bitterness thing.  I've been realizing that I've been holding a lot of bitterness towards certain people in my life and I've really been working through that this month.  It takes a lot of humble pie eating, but I'll take it.
• I love being able to serve here.  I love being able to interact with so many people and hold wholesome conversations about God, life, and everything under the sun.

This month has been crazy and as my time at VCBC winds down for the summer, I'll hold these memories in my heart for a long, long time.  God is so BIG.  God is so MIGHTY.
