Fun in the sun.

Hey everyone!
So it's been two weeks since I left for camp! Two more weeks to go!
This week I was fortunate enough to assume my position as lifeguard!
Each day someone different does a devotion. It's funny how that each day the topic seems to fit what we need spiritually. My devotion was on Ephesians.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (Ephesians 4:29, 31, 32 NIV)
Being in high school is ridiculously fun and crazy challenging. Living life everyday the way God wants to seems easy, when we live inside a bubble ( camp),( dont get me wrong, i LOVE LOVE ADORE camp). But,Real life is hard. We all go through challenges with school, relationships and our walk with Christ.
The great thing about being here is that I can totally be myself, and that's enough. The friendships I have are based souly on the fact that Christ is our Foundation. Now don't get me wrong, there is always going to be people that I dont get along with, but this week I have really learned that I must be kind and love them, just as Christ loved us. When I see someone having a bad day I need to be encouraging and uplifting! This was also something i learned counseling. I shouldn't hold grudges against people, shouldn't harbor bitterness in my heart. I'm finally at a place where I have truly forgiven people have hurt me both directly and in directly. it's taken a while, actually way longer than it should of.
Anyways, I have met some really great people here! I have made new friendships and have continued to grow old friendships.
I am so thankful to be here this summer! This week I have went sailing boating, kayaking and attempted to do a backflip off the dreaded rope swing. I have tried 74 times in the last two summers... And im no where close. .
Taco bell and Wal Mart run was also and exciting adventure!
Thanks for reading!
As always I love letters and packages.
Below are some pictures of my friends and I!
