I suppose that since most of our hurts come through relationships, so will our healing,
and I know that grace rarely makes sense for those looking in from the outside.

Kids Camp and College

Yay! I’m home again! (Wow, it seems like I start almost every post with that line, eh?) Children’s Camp was incredible. Twenty-two kids gave their lives to the Lord including two that I sort of knew pretty well, so that was awesome. At night we would have youth devotion time around the camp fire and then go lay on the dock and look at the stars. That was incredible because you can see THOUSANDS of stars and it is absolutely breathtaking. Most mornings I got up and had my quiet time by the lake, and that was awesome as well to watch the sunrise.

Being on the kitchen crew was REALLY hard work, but I had fun!! I got to work with some neat ladies, and it was certainly a good growing and learning experience. Someday though, I want to be a counselor.

Since I’ve been home, I’ve been trying to finalize my plans for the next school year, and that has been very frustrating. Right now I’m trying to get into an Intro to Business, PE, and a Chemistry class at CC in addition to the Spanish class I’m already registered for. I should be able to get an appointment with my advisor tomorrow to finalize things. I only have a month until school starts and my schedule becomes insane, so consequently I’m incredibly stressed. So I’m doing what I always do when I’m stressed. I’m cleaning/organizing my room in a systematic counter-clockwise direction.

Mood: Tired (of course)

So... you might quit learning center, you don't know what grade your in (which is kind of cool if you think about it!), your taking a PE class??, and your stressed. BASICALLY... we need to talk!!! :) Carrie, you're amazing and God has this totally awesome plan for you this year no matter what. You're doing awesome!! But we do need to talk and actually SEE each other for the first time in, hmmm, 2+ months. Yeah, how dumb is that?

Okay, I think that I'm do-ne.... no, wait! Alise, you are very optimistic and that is great!! I love it... and wish that I could be more like that! You amaze me!!!

Katie! Wow! I have actually been wondering if you'd fallen off the earth, but I'm glad to find that you haven't! Yes, life has been busy and crazy... Beth was over last night, and me and her and Alise and Sarah went to see POTC2. I loved it! I thought it was much better than the first one... anyhoo, good to hear from you!

Heather said...

Your welcome dear!

Um, Carrie, it was NOT better than the first.. and I don't care if you don't agree with me!!! It just wasn't!
