texas.

as i pack for vacation, i'm finding that the one album i have to take with me, above all else, is 30 seconds to mars. "a beautiful lie" came out well over 3 years ago, but it is still one of my most listened to cds. there is almost something spellbinding about it. the more you listen, the harder it is to let it go. i guess its just layered enough that it never gets boring. plus its fronted by the beautiful jared leto. i added this picture as the background on my computer today, and its been quite hard to leave my desk! haha. i must say its one of his finer moments. :)

but yeah, i'm ready for a road trip and taking some time to regroup my thoughts and get focused, so that i can come back to camp and give it my all. we have a great group of staff here this year, and i don't want to let the summer come and go without getting to know them.

so, today is my last day at work for 2 weeks. crazy to think about how much will change while i am away, but at the same time, its good to have this time with my family. i'm really glad to be able to take this trip with them. i was born to travel, and its not something i get to do all that frequently anymore. i definitely view this trip as a major blessing from God.

life is walking a steady pace for me right now, even in the midst of many things being on my mind. i'm trying to learn from past mistakes and to do really listen to God's voice over my own, and sometimes its hard to drown out myself, cuz my voice likes to be the louder of the two. but having the past to look back on and learn from is good, and i pray that as new doors open that i can look at them thru God's eyes and not my own. hmmm...

i'm reading a new book on prayer. its good and really challenging me. i like that. anything that challenges my walk with the Lord and my prayer life is a great thing.

blessings.

moon

last night there was one of the most amazing moons i have seen in a long time. i just wanted to lay outside in the front yard and watch it move across the sky.

the moon made me think of a harvest moon in the fall and that lead me to want to listen to LOVEDRUG, which i am doing right now. :)

when i was in the 3 grade my life dream was to be an astronomer. i think that even to this day, i still hold a deep love for the night sky. maybe someday i'll pursue an avenue of studying the world above us, but for now i'll stick to my job at a camp. :)

new place to write

i'm done with most things concerning the internet. all that once was, just seems so meaningless compared to real life relationships.

so for the time being i'll use this blog as a way to post thoughts, until i get bored with this too.

life takes you down strange roads. but at the end, i want to be able to look back and have no regrets.

family is so important. i feel very blessed to have been born into mine.

the most important thing in life: LOVE. because GOD is LOVE.
