It was as if I had stepped into a time machine and wound up at summer camp of '98. Competitions holding four heats: gayest jump, biggest splash, most painful fall, and freestyle. Basket tossing each other to space, and capturing the height on camera. It amazes me the variety of friends in our group, and yet we all get along. The trickers, the musicians, the scientists, the hippies, and the preppies. All together, all enjoying 114 songs of the '90s ("... I know who I want to take me home...")
Tomorrow, tomorrow. I plan on not setting an alarm (which isn't big news, I haven't set an alarm since Sunday) and sleeping until my body just can't take another moment in bed. Then I am going to enjoy the afternoon at starbucks catching up on some podcasts, emails, and devotionals. Those afternoons are truly my favorite. I love curling up in a crowded place, with headphones on, in my own little world. I feel as if I am standing still in time. BUT what I am most excited for tomorrow is going to Rocketown to work with the youth. God's been calling me into leadership, and for some reason I have been drawn towards kids a lot lately. He opened up a door to volunteer on Thursdays, and I am ridiculously pumped to let God use me as a vessel to reach these kids. To impact them with LOVE. (smiles) Annnnnd I'm kinda nervous too, because I know one person there... and I have only met her once. God is completely pushing me out on the limb and forcing me to be more independent and bold. It's terrifying and wonderful all at the same time. The first step is the most difficult, and the rest are a breeze. I would like to think I am a pretty social person, so I should be just peachy. (Is it horrible that I feel required to wear heavy black eye liner and a t-shirt from Hot Topics though? Ahaa, just kidding... sorta)
PS!
Rebecca Johnson and I are willing to sacrifice our bodies to get on the next Backstreet Boys Cruise. I'm not lying. We will mother your children. Because in the end, we will end up marrying AJ, and that, besides Jesus, is pretty much the meaning of life.
