Save Now!
Hey my family… I have been thinking about posting ever since the end of Kaleo and I guess that I just don’t know what to write, so I am just going to bight the bullet and write, so please bare with me, I am sorry if it does not make sence!
So after Kaleo ended I was home for a few days, The Sunday I got home I spoke at my church about Colombia and it was really sweet! The support of my church family was amazing; I think that they finally see me as an adult and not as an “awkward scrawny little girl” as Jim Bad would put it! The rest of those days were full of chillin with Tasha and my family and shopping, and pretty much anything else I could possibly do to prevent crashing. The next Sunday I had the sweet opportunity to help my dad lead worship at church, which was sweet. I actually played my guitar, it was sweet to see one small way that I had changed this year.
The next couple days were full of once again shopping with my mom (oh stink also discovered that I gained a whole whack of patients this year!!!), calling 911 because my dad fainted (lol kinda funny story, don’t worry I am not heartless he is fine!, discovering my bro was laid off (please pray for him!), and chilling with Jesspures!
All in all my 10 days off were good but not at all what they could have been and needed to be. I honestly kept incredibly busy and surrounded by people so that I could not think about Kaleo being over, unfortunately I think that in doing that I did myself more harm than good. Not only did I get super- duper sick once I got back to camp but I feel numb to the whole thing.
Being at camp I am realizing that everyone is not going to be at breakfast, Joel Jess and Kev aren’t in the library, my 210 boys will not poke their heads up through the windows when I stomp, and there will not once again be the nagging of you soccer people to come play soccer (yes I do miss that!). I feel like K5 has suddenly and regretfully become a distant memory that I want so badly to embrace. My home has become completely different and I feel like I don’t really belong anywhere. All of this said I do miss you all so much but in some weird contradictive way I am at peace with what God is doing here at camp in my life and in all of K5’s lives. I am at peace about this huge change in my life.
I want to leave you with Philippians 1:3-6, this is my K5 verse and I think of you all when I read it! “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”
I love you so much my family! Peace for now!
