eye of the tiger

well i made it! and as of right now i dont feel sick, i have lost my voice a little but that is totes okay with me. i have never came home from fall weekend without coming down with some cold, sinus infection, and last year the flu. I feel like its because im a girl that loves to just go go go go go until i cant go no more, and at rockbridge i am extremely good at running myself down because i just LOVE IT THERE, and basically i just want to do everything. lol (: but im home and had an incredible weekend. i love camp so much. I love watching kids hear about Jesus for the first time i love how kids just get to be themselves and be loved reguardless. I love seeing the walls break down and they finally see what is real in life. I love seeing the transformation of a heart go from death to life. Another thing that i love is just anticipating what the Lord is going to do. One thing i have noticed about younglife camp is it never goes as what i planned it was going to be in my head. Which i am so glad because the Lord just catches me by suprise everytime and it is seriously just the best.

this weekend i got to spend with my dear friends of mine. we werent in a cabin like usual because there were SO many kids there. so by my suprise we actually stayed in the lobby of my work crew cabin! Becca and Sam being the best made this fort/tent thing in the middle of the lobby and that was our cabin along with megabed one of my favorite things in the whole world. (megabed; noun, where you put all the beds together and you just sleep together on one huge gigantic bed. garunteed to provide the most fun for sleepovers, and younglife camps.) But seriously though, and we also shared the showers with the other girls from our school who had a total of two showers for 25 girls, needless to say i didnt shower all weekend and it was awesome. im doing this no shave november thing.... well trying, no shave november is just too darn easy for me and so i was like oh, hailey how about you do shave november.... i am so dumb, that lasted about one shower and i only shaved on leg. hahahahahah but anyways sorry thisback to this weekend, did i say is was so much fun? (:

This is my last fall weekend as a camper and i am so ready for college. Being a leader is basically my dream. literally though, i cannot wait to become a leader. I think about it all the time. I cannot wait to just love on girls from a different school, and just walking through life with them. I cannot wait to share with them the greatest love story ever told. and also a bonus just getting to hang out with them and do fun girl stuff. But loving the Lord while being a high school student is really really awesome. because the truth is i already get to do all of that but unlike leaders i get to be with these kids 5 days a week for 8 hours. so i really get to see these kids all the time, which is so cool. (but as you can tell from previous posts its pretty hard sometimes. but. its so worth it.) Along with being a senior my little sister is a freshman (mad shout out to her, she's the best. no doubt.) and getting to go to camp with her and her friends was probably one of the coolest and funnest things ever. Getting to see her just love on her friends, and just having a blast which is besically a wish come true because she totally deserves to have the greatest time of her life... in whatever she is doing. So this weekend i just got to hang out with my friends, i got to talk to them about real stuff. about life. and most importantly the Lord. This weekend also allowed me to see some amazing people that i dont get to see very much because we live so far away. but i love that though. even though it is hard i love how we can see each other and pick up a conversation as if we see each other every day, and also i get to see how the Lord is using them in HUGE ways back at in there home towns.

sorry i feel like im rambling on so im just going to post some pictures and then hit the hay because i have school tomorrow and im exhausted (and im trying really hard not to get sick lolololololol) maybe later this week ill just put up a little blurb about different things that happened at camp... because obviously i just cant type it all down.

God is good. All the time.
