    My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.
    — Colossians 2:6-7 (MSG)

    I miss this. So so much! Hands-down one of my favorite weeks. Hardest, but most beautiful! 3:55, two of my girls had never been to the ocean before;. Just witnessing their reactions to their toes in the sand and the feel of the salty, cold waves was one of the most joy-bringing moments to me! It seems so simple, but joy truly is the greatest when it’s the joy of others! I’d also like to point out 4:46-5:00. This was an infamous pirate attack… and on one of my camper’s birthdays, we finally got revenge on that pirate :P. Gosh, I miss child-like hearts and atmosphere! I wish I could sporatically quirt people with water around my campus and shout “Piraaaaates!!!” Well, there’s a time and a place for everything.

    Oh Sweet, shining summer, you’re going. Or at least should be soon. Mmm autumn, come to me :)

    I feel so blessed to be the Volunteer Lead for Our Neighborhood Homework house, through the APU Ministry and Service office! God is good, and I have no doubt he will do great things in this place this year! I can’t wait to go love the youth of Azusa and serve alongside others with the same heart and mindset!

    Our greatest fear should not be of failure, but of succeeding at things that don’t matter.
