Thoughts before bedtime :o)

*note to the reader* this post is very sporadic. Just some things I was thinking about as I was getting ready to go to bed tonight. Feel free to continue reading, but consider yourself warned.

Gosh, God has blessed me. I was talking to Jake and told him that if I were to die today, I would feel like I have had an INCREDIBLE life. But, chances are I will not die today, which means there will be MORE to my life than I have already experienced. AMAZING. I want to make it count. I want every moment, every action, every decision (this one is hard for me), every breath, to bring GLORY to His name.

I have been meeting many of the people who will be coming to Radooga this summer and it has been a HUGE encouragement to me. I really can not get over all the WONDERFUL people God keeps walking through my life.

We were also talking about how being on Summer Staff makes you family. But, thinking about it now, I really think it has less to do with the fact that we are Summer Staff and more to do with the fact that we spend time with each other working together the way the church was designed to work—being on summer staff doesn’t MAKE us family so much as us working together the way we do reflects the fact that we ARE family and the more we are able to experience that the more it becomes true in our relationships with each other. SO GOOD.

I got word that Radooga has a campsite for the summer. (we are unable to use the one we have used in the past because they are housing construction workers there all summer).

We still really need some people to come work camps 2 (June 25-July 7) and 4 (July 11-23) and have openings for camp 5 (July 19-31) so if you’re interested or know someone who might be let me know or register at www.servantlife.com :o)

И все. Я очень устала. Споки ноки.

Disoriented

Ok, so, if I sound a bit incoherent at the moment, it would probably be because I am. It is 11:42am Saturday morning (Kiev time--i think 4:42am Tally time) and the last I slept was from 1:30-4:30am Thursday night before going to the airport. For some reason I usually can't sleep on planes. Nonetheless, all my flights went well...aside from some CRAZINESS in Memphis. (Daniel, if you are reading this I am SO sorry and I will call you at some point this week and tell you of my 'adventures in Memphis') I have no idea what all I will be doing this week--i'm kinda leaving my itinerary up to my mom and Calyn for now. Which so far consists of helping with some sort of breakfast that Four Oaks (Calyn's new church) is doing in about an hour and going to hear a guy representing Voice of the Martyrs speak at Northwoods tonight and somewhere in between trying to get my visa stuff sent off. Beyond that...I haven't really thought much...I will need to finish some stuff for work and see my uncle who drove over from Jacksonville to see me (which pretty much floored me when I head that he came mostly because he wanted to see me)...all that to say...anyone in Tally who has something exciting planned (and trust me...exciting to me doesn't usually involve too much), call m.y mom or Calyn and they will be with me or know how to reach me (they're good like that) Ok, I guess I should get ready and head to the Reber's...I will (quietly) bust in the kitchen door. (I love you Mrs. Debbie)

Peace out.
