"And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight to help you determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God." -- Philippians 1:9-11

SASS-A-FRAS


One of my qualifiers for a monthly post was that it could not be the ONLY post in the month…  But alas, I believe that is what we have here.  Hey, at least I got something up.  The reason for this is because I have been at camp, and while I do have some down time during the day I’d rather spend it running or developing relationships with the Birchwood team.  I have thought about many topics to post about, have a few formulated in my head, and a couple even begun on paper, but none yet worthy of sharing.  Perhaps in July when I’m back in Boston and not trying to pack every second full of memories I’ll take the time to sit down and reflect on the summer and what I learned.  For now though, this will have to do.


Awesome Things:
1) I just spent an amazing four weeks at Birchwood camp and have one more to go before my summer comes to an end
2) New friends whom I have grown closer to than I thought possible in one short month
3) Floating Boating lunch
4) “POOP! POOP!”
5) Living in a Christian community and immersing myself in Christ

Notsome Things:
1) The city cut down two beautiful spruce trees in the front of my yard
2) Both my brother and my dad are leaving this week and I won’t get to see them again till Christmas
3) Mosquitoes
4) Witnessing suffering, and not being able to do anything about it
5) I have to leave Alaska and my friends and family in less than two weeks

Awesome Things:
1) Spiritual renewal
2) “I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!”
3) Dirt and worms
4) Discipleship
5) My mom
