Home?

Wednesday night, I attended a Bible study. We had an awesome time sitting around a camp fire, discuessing Isaiah 59, and singing. My cousin then brought everyone home (it is such a fun carpool), and we finally made it to his house. By this time I had to go the bathroom, but we were in the middle of a really good conversation. I finally made it home and to my dismay, I was locked out of the house. After consider my break in options, I gave up and rang the doorbell...waking up my grandma....but atleast I made it into the house!!!!!

Service Weekend

So, this weekend was service weekend at my grandparents church. A group of young people got together on Friday night. We went to a beach and sang and had Bible study. Then we had a sleepover and did another Bible study.

Sat morning, we started out by having a car wash. We were able to make $200. Then, we sorted clothes at a mission. After, we helped prepare food for a Hispanic outreach program. We closed the night by having an open cafe.

It was an awesome weekend, and provided a time to grow closer to God and discover what true service is!

Update 2

Wow…what an eventful summer! The last weeks have been filled with late nights with friends, early mornings at work, laughs, coffee, and smiles.

On Thursday and Friday, I went to Calvin College for my orientation. It actually was a lot of fun. Everyone was excited to meet new people and reconnect with old friends. I was able to connect with lots of my childhood friends…which was exciting. And of course a few awkward moments of me remembering people but them not remembering me!

The past few days have been a bit depressing just figuring out the financial side of college. Today, my day was made when I discovered that after two years of sitting in a box, the shop did indeed have a paper cutter!!! Totally made my day!!!!

Tuesday, I visited my great-grandma…we had such an awesome conversation that I was hesitant to leave! It is such an awesome experience just sitting with my grandma, talking. Not many people are able to do that!

Well, that is my short update for now….so until later!
