This summer is so awesome! I'm having a blast with my new 'job'... traveling around with 4 great friends doing VBS with great kids and spreading great news about Jesus... the great! Sweet eh? We've only been going for 2.5 weeks, but it's been the best 2.5 weeks I've had in a really long time! It's really the best experience ever.
And it's a summer of revolutions. I've been canoeing, I've learned out to swim, I've stepped out of my comfort zone and made some everlasting friendships (I know this already) and I'm beginning the journey of becoming my own person... and loving who I am. I have a long list of things I still need to do, for example... trying a candy apple (never done before) and listening to an artists full discography. The list goes on and Emily is my co-pilot for it all. I love her!
Emily (Skip Trueheart) is so crazy!! She's our prayer warrior... totally devoted 600% to the Lord and preaching his name at every street corner. She's got spunk and an attitude that I love. She's smart, beautiful and my personal model. To Heaven and beyond!!!!
Cameron (William) is organized yet spontaneous. He's funny and a total God man. His taste in music makes me drool (not really... well yea... really) and he's super talented. He leads our group without seeming like a leader and he looks good in glasses. I'm so stoked that he's on this team. Most confused frog, I mean turtle, I mean...
Serena (Flora Rose)... where to begin haha (:P) She is the funniest person I think I have ever met in my life. And she is a totally skilled harmonizing singer. She accents Cameron's music beautifully and she's a joy to listen to. She is also full of Jesus-ness and it shows in everything she does. She's a mentor and a super great sista. Prettiest princess around...
William!! Mr. Currie! (Capt. Blackbird) Drummer extraordinaire!. I'd say he's the quirky one of the group... in a good way! He's great with action songs and dancing and makes up some pretty rad games. He's famous too (I'm popular cuz I know him). He relates perfectly to the kids and has a huge Godly impact on them while they throw water sponges at each other. Shifty-est pirate ever recorded in history...
So that's them! I love them all so much! I wouldn't change any member of the team because we all fit so well together. I relate to each one for different reasons and they've really turned into my family away from home. And the coolest thing about that, is that it's only been 2.5 weeks and we're already so close.
This summer and forever... will rock :D

God's Amazing Power
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
