my family,
i really hope that apart from seeing you all again several times, we continue to write on this blog to update each other and because i know i truly truly want to know whats goin on and how your summers are going.
this summer continues to be crazy. and when i say crazy i dont really no what that means but i feel as though theres no better word and maybe thats because my vocabulary is lacking or because its just been a crazy and weird summer. i had an opportunity to counsel this last session and kind of do that as well as part time sports as suppose to full time and it was unreal. i've been struggling a lot with finding sports repetitive and wanting God to strengthen me to pursue excellence in my area at camp and so counselling was crazy because it was so refreshing to be back in a cabin with kids rather then on staff hill where leadership team stays and now being back this session its allowed me to kind of get back on track. this summer i have struggled in wanting to be on the island so bad at times and even in these times of difficulty God has been good. in my doubts, in my selfish desires he continues to be good and he continues to provide me with what i need to get through the day.
me and justin lenny were able to plan an ultimate frisbee game between our two camps the other day so like 15 of us guys travelled to their camp which is like 40 minutes away and rolled in with beats pumpin and retro basketball jerseys on our backs, ready to compete against the infamous muskoka woods. (cal mcfarlane also works there) they had a good amount of people out to support them which was pretty cool and it was an awesome time to kind of hang out with our brothers from a different camp and have lunch with them after. i dont no if they'd invite us back as we kind of destroyed them but it was definitely a good time.
i think peeps need to start posting how their summers are going cause if not, then thats just lame you no soo ya some verses that have challenged me these last few weeks are these,
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
wooord brederen, i miss you all a lot

It's great to hear from you, Jon; may God bless you for your faithfulness. He never fails to do "immeasurably more than we ask or imagine." I pray you are able to experience this blessing in your life as God pours out on you the joy He has planned for your life.
