Back at CBU..

So...it has been a while since I have last blogged because I have been so busy. At this very moment I am on a dinner break from choir camp. I needed a little time alone and away so I thought I would come back to my apt. Anyways...I have been back at school for about a week now. It was strange at first and I think I had a little bit of a hard time. A lot of my friends graduated, I am now the oldest FOCUS leader, everyone kept asking me why I didn't graduate, some relationships have changed, and to be completely honest I felt a little alone. Pathetic, I know. However, it all turned out to be a blessing. It has forced me to cling to the Lord and deny my selfishness. I think God has humbled me this week, and I am so thankful for that. I have been learning a lot lately. God is good and faithful. I have been amazed at his steadfast love and faithfulness.

The FOCUS team has been practicing skits to get ready for the new student orientation. I am in the world's apart skit once again. Yes...I get to be the drinker. The skit itself is so powerful. It has reminded me of his grace. In the midst of our sin, he still loves us and waits with arms open. We try and try to overcome it on our own, but we can't. That is when he picks us up and helps us across. Christ is the only one that can bridge the gap of sin in our lives. Knowing this...how can I keep from praising him? I cannot

The River

This past weekend I went to the river in Yuma Arizona. It was a great time with some family and good friends. Water sports are my absolute favorite. Wakeboarding, skiing, and the boat life. I could be out there every day and not get sick of it. There is something about it that is just so refreshing. Its like..when I am behind the boat I am in my own little world. I am hurtin today though...burnt shoulders, burnt lips and an extremely sore body. It was all worth it. I couldn't have asked for a better last weekend of summer before I move back to school. Here are a few pictures:

Two of my cute nieces: Josie and Reegin. They both learned how to ski this weekend...studs
