"I wish I could just talk to you in person" We live in the crazy world where we're always talking to everyone at the same time yet we sit by ourselves in our rooms. It's easy to get caught up in the quantity of our friendships and conversations that we forget to spend quality time with each other. I often toss people aside, thinking that as long as long as I send them the occasional message I'm fulfilling my duties as a friend. There are so many great things about being connected to each other by our phones and computers but sometimes it does lead to half hearted relationships. Thank you to my big brother from another mother for reminding me that we need to see each other soon. Thank you for showing me how to love others.

Thank you, God, for giving me ears to listen to the bird song that rings clear amongst the gentle hum of cars driving in the distance. Thank you that can listen to your word and understand it in my heart. Thank you for my friends have ears so we can go get them pierced together. Thank you that they listen to me when I'm happy and when I'm sad. Thank you, God, that you listen to our prayer. Thank you for hearing me when I cry out of despaired and when I sing praise to you.

Thank you, God, for having a heart that is as merciful as it is just. Thank you that through your Holy Spirit, you change our hearts to be like yours.

Thank you, God, for your guiding hand which holds me and draws me close to you. Thank you that you use your powerful hand to feed us and to bring justice to a darkened world.  

Despite having to push through some super confronting and challenging situations and cleaning up all the vomit and slobber, I had a great time dancing, painting and rock climbing with the hilarious SMS kids and their amazingly supporting families. I will definitely be praying for each one of the precious people I've made friends with now that the camp is over.
