SP Chronicles #3

SugarPine Chronicles, Log Account 3...

It's been a pretty awesome / weird / confusing week so far. I lost my shaver the first week of camp, so I've grown a mountain man beard, something I was gonna see if I could avoid lol. Last week I was having a lot of problems with keeping my voice strong, now it's completely the opposite for the whole staff. The flu has caught the Timber Mountain staff by storm, they're sneezing, dizzy, barely finding any voice to speak with, and it's affected everyone but ME. It's like God took a chunk of energy from everyone and gave it to me, because generally I've felt 100% the whole week. And since I've felt so good, I've tried to max myself out by helping the staff as much as I possibly can, I think that's one of the things God wants me to focus on this summer. But what I don't recommend is canoeing kids over the course of a couple hours, you get really sore after that.

I'm still getting over my homesickness, it's a painful process, I don't think I've missed home nearly this much before. BUT this weekend my peeps Nikie Renee and Kyle are comin up, we're gonna hang out cause we all miss each other a lot, so that's pretty cool. Oooh, something new that came out of this week is what I think is my first ever worship song. I've always tried to write one but it never came out right. I'm about 80% done with it, here's the finished product (so far)....

No answers that I can find

It's time that I opened Your door

I don't want to hide anymore

I've stayed here for long enough

I'll follow the road that You have made

I know that this time it won't be the same

I don't wanna hold back, hold me tight

Guard me through the night

And I, I hold on to this Word

I will not give in like I did before

I will not betray Your memory

I've told you before

But I still can't let go

I still don't feel release from my pain

But I know You can take it, so take it away

Why can't I just believe Your love is free?

So flawed and worthless, why'd you pick me?

You're my hope at the end of the day

You know what I'll say before I even say it

Other than that, God's doing amazing stuff here at camp. He's here and working on us and the kids, and there's never a moment here when I'm really bored, nothing here is really routine, ever. I'm gonna keep updating my SugarPine 07 pictures whenever I get the chance, so check that out too if you want. God bless, adios.
