Matthew 26:27 "Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying,
"Drink from it, all of you."
Thanksgiving is two days away, and all month I have seen facebook posts of people saying what they are Thankful for. I have honestly only seen a few statuses saying they were Thankful for God and what He has given us.
The verse above is a reminder to me of what I'm constantly thankful for. The God of the universe sent His son to die. In this verse Christ is sitting around the table with his disciples, and He's giving Thanks for the cup, the cup that is showing symbolism for what He is about to do. He's giving thanks for his ability to give Himself as a sacrifice for the sins we commit each day. Willingly laying down His life for our sins, and being the sacrifice and grace we do not deserve.
So, besides being thankful for the earthly things, the number one I am thankful for is the Grace that has been given to me by my heavenly father.
What else to be thankful for?
My family...We do not get along a lot of the time, but I am blessed with a family. God gave me a mom and a dad, who even though they do not always get along, they are there for me and they love me and support me in all I do. They have always been willing to accept what I have wanted to do with my life, even if they do not always agree with it. There are things I have done in my life that my parents have allowed me to do that I am so thankful they allowed...because at 21 years old I have grown and learned so much than I believe some people will in their lifetime.
I have two of the greatest big brothers in the world. Even though we don't always get along either, I LOVE my big brothers. They have always been there for me. They have taken care of me, and even though I know my older brother could not stand having to be home with his little sister when he was a teenager, he did it anyway. We all three have a very special relationship that could never be recreated. I am thankful for their wives who are the sisters I never had...I am thankful for their children who mean the absolute world to me. I am thankful for my Grandparents who raised me to be who I am today, even if I did take a few detours along the way.
I am so thankful for those friends in my life who are more like my family. They aren't even friends I have grown up with, and they aren't friends who live right around the corner, or even in the same state, but they are friends who know more about me than anyone else. They understand my complexities, they see me for who I am, and they love me through it all. These are friends who I would do anything in the world for, and who I know will be friends for life. They are brothers and sisters in Christ, and I could never ask for better friends.
I tend to complain a lot...but in the midst of the complaining I do realize what I have in this life that I am so undeserving of. I am thankful of education and the fact that I was able to go to college, and even though there are days I HATE being in school, I am so thankful that I can be there and further my education.
I am thankful that I can freely serve and worship the God of the universe.
I am thankful that I realize I am not perfect, and that no one is. I am thankful for those imperfections, because with those it makes it even more of a reason to rely on God.
We are all undeserving of what we have...but we are given all of these things. Yes some things we earn, but it wouldn't be available to even earn if it weren't for the Grace God has given us.
Praise be to God that I can sit here right now on a computer and write this blog...
Praise be to God that I can go to a coffee shop, where the owners are Christian, and read for hours in order to relax.
Praise GOD for the little things in this life...the smiles we miss, the gusts of wind that are little reminders of life...the things that may get on our nerves now, but are blessings later.
Praise God for a new day to live =).
I am thankful for so much because I am given so so much from the God who reigns!

Welcome To The Masquerade...
"I'm not afraid, I'm not ashamed, I'm not to blame, I'm not okay, Welcome to the masquerade"~Thousand Foot Krutch
Look up the song above...I heard it for the first time in concert about a month ago.
I'm not posting the lyrics simply to say look them up. I'm posting them to say it's true in my life right now. And I may be completely taking it out of context but I'm putting it where it is in my life. I am not afraid to live my life in a way that will honor my heavenly father. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ...I am not to blame (or maybe I am)...I'm NOT okay. All these emotions have been running through my mind the past few weeks. So welcome to the masquerade. Welcome to the show...where I put on a front (or do I?)
Welcome to my life. Welcome to the reality that I have been back at school for two months and my focus has been two things...school, and God.
God first.
He has brought me out of so many things in my life. He has taught me to rely completely on Him. He has shown me that he is the only real constant in my life. He has placed AMAZING people in my life, who even though they live hours away from me, mean SO MUCH to me. They are my brothers and sisters in Christ. They lift me up and make me realize my importance in this life. They help me remember my importance in Christ and my significance.
These friends bring me back to reality...and help me stop having pity parties. Praise be to God for placing these friends in my life.
School.
I honestly can't say it's the most enjoyable thing in my life right now. It's frustrating. I keep being reminded that I'm not graduating this May....when I was in High School I was supposed to graduate college in four years and become an amazing teacher and change the world.
That was High School and that was far from reality...it was my fantasy I had created in my head.
Seven years after starting high school and four years into college I realize it's not the years that will make the difference but the knowledge I gain. Whether it takes me four years...or five.
I'm still not enjoying school, though. A lot of things have been frustrating me this semester...and I know that it is all God teaching me to continue to rely on Him. It is God telling me to remember that even though school is important and I am where I am for a purpose...He has the plan set out.
I'm not sure where God has me after college. I'm not sure if it's grad school, or if it's serving Him in a different way.
I'm not sure what I want to do with my life.
I'm not sure WHY I am in Greenville and why I'm so unhappy where I am...
but I am sure of one thing. God knows ALL of those answers.
Where am I going with all of this?? I feel as though maybe I have been keeping a mask on. I've been staying away from people who I don't want to really be back in my life...and I've only been letting certain things out to other friends.
I miss a lot of things...I yearn for and desire to have a lot of things...but I also desire to please my heavenly Father.
I have to let go, and let God.
I have to stop trying and start living.
I have to give it all to God and not just part of it...I have to smile, and be joyous, and accept the grace God has given me. I am so undeserving...but that's why it's called Grace.
So here I am. Ultimately broken. Desiring nothing more than to be who God has called me to be. I hurt...I struggle...but I want to be Gods. So here's to listening...here's to giving up myself and taking on God's call.
Here's to taking off the mask...and really being broken before God.
Here's to the life God has set out for me...
and here's to right now.

I've been back a month....
....and it hasn't exactly been easy. I've gone from being surrounded by eight people who were grounded in their faith, and in love with life...to the reality that not everyone loves the way Christ loves. Not everyone is as grounded in their faith as others. Not everyone forgives as they should. Not everyone believes. I expected it to be hard to come back to NC, to home, and to school, but I didn't expect to be as hard as it has been.
Through the difficult moments I have wondered why. I have wondered why I was around so many awesome people this summer, only to come back to what my life is really like. I have wondered why the accountability I had this summer had to be taken away when I got back to school.
Then I realized...I will never know all the answers. I realized my accountability wasn't taken away. Even though I am not with the people I was with this summer 24 hours a day 7 days a week, they are still my family. They still love me and care about me. I still love them and would do anything in the world for them.
I realized God has a purpose and a plan for me and he's simply been waiting for me to say "yes God I will do what you ask"...He's been waiting for me to realize that there is a call far greater in my life than simply being comfortable and content with my surroundings.
This summer wasn't easy all the time, but I was comfortable. I was content with the people I was living with.
I have to say God has really had to throw me on my tail since I've been home. He's had to show me that the fairy tale I had in my head doesn't exactly exist. He had to help me realize that there is indeed sin in this world and I have to fight against it daily. I have to live my life for Him, and glorify Him through everything I do...regardless of how hard it may seem at the time. It's called perseverance.
I have had to come to the realization that no one, and no thing is perfect. Things are going to be tough. People are going to talk about me behind my back, and not everyone is going to like me or love me. This perfect little world I was living in before wasn't real. It was what I wanted but it was far from reality. I miss summershine more than I ever thought I would. I miss the team we had. I miss the constant accountability. I miss knowing that I would go to bed each night with a cabin of girls laughing until we fell asleep.
I had people telling me this summer that my happiness was going to come to an end and that all good things will come to an end. That is a lie! I've felt like it within the past month, yes. I have felt defeated and exhausted, but...I was listening to those lies. I can still be happy because happiness is a choice. And that good thing I had this summer, it didn't come to an end. It may have changed but it's still going on...just in different locations....
God is great. Life isn't always easy but it's good =). There's a call on my heart that I have to listen to. I am in Greenville for a purpose. I am in CCF for a purpose. I am where I am for this moment to serve my Father in whatever way He calls me to do...and I'm done running away.

11 weeks down...1 week to go...
And it's a bitter sweet feeling. This summer has been absolutely amazing. I have learned so much about God, and grown so much in my faith and walk. I've been stretched many times to what may have seemed like the limit, but God continued to be there and help not just me, but everyone.
I can't begin to say how much of a blessing this summer has been. When I started this summer I never would have thought I would absolutely LOVE living with four other girls who I now call amazing friends and sisters. I never thought I could smile about cleaning, or working early and then late. I never thought I could do customer service! But then again, it's not me who has done these things...it is God! He deserves all glory, honor, and praise. This summer is a summer I will never forget.
I arrived May 22, and started working May 23. I injured myself the first day on the job, but survived =). I met amazing families who I will never forget. I received hugs and smiles from the coolest kids I have ever met, and from their Mom's as well.
I laughed about the silliest things...I talked about the most serious things....and I learned what it means to be vulnerable. I learned how to let God truly have control. This summer Mary (the assistant activities director) and myself prayed that God would soften my heart and teach me to really show myself through ways I haven't been able to do before. Since that prayer I have cried...a lot. I have opened myself up, given my testimony in front of complete strangers, and given God glory for it all. Nothing I have done this summer was about me...it was all about God. The summershiner's in Williamsburg could have never been the amazing team we were if it weren't for God.
From the first night we arrived we were already comfortable with each other. We knew and understood each other's personalities (for the most part) and we really united as a team serving God.
This campground wasn't always the easiest to work on. It wasn't always easy to take criticism or go 20 million different ways in one day...it wasn't always easy to take blame for things that weren't your fault...it wasn't always easy to get yelled at by irate campers...but it was easy to let God be the center...and it was easy to let Him shine through. Our prayer each day was simply to be the light God called us to be. "The sun never sets on a summershiner" has been our quote the entire summer...and in the middle of the summer we changed "sun" to "son"--because God's light will never set on us. We came to serve and our job is never complete.
This week Liz leaves on Tuesday and that leaves Mary and myself...I leave next Saturday (the 15th) to go back to NC, which is going to be the hardest thing I have had to do in a while...Mary will be by herself here for 15 days and then I will come back September 1st to help for Labor day.
God has blessed all of us this summer in ways we never expected. He built us into a family and our bond is so strong not even Satan can break it. We love each other and the relationships that God built here will only continue to grow because of the bond we have as brothers and sisters.
My prayer is that we will all continue to have our hearts and minds open to what God has to say to us. Wherever he leads we will follow. Whatever He asks of us we will do. We must remember that just because we leave the KOA and we aren't wearing yellow on our campuses or job sites, we are still shining the light of Christ to people all around us. The world is our camp ground!
Guys never close your hearts and ears to God...He has a lot to say...and you'd be surprised at how much you are willing to do!

A Summershine Birthday and more
I have to say that in the past four weeks I have built relationships that I know are going to last the rest of my life...and NOT just with the Summershiner's. The camper's these past few weeks have been absolutely amazing. We had a couple of families last week who were the sweetest people we have ever met. This week we have Cody and Dawson who are some pretty cool kids, and I think Cody may just do summershine next summer. Honestly, I can't imagine God placing me anywhere other than here this summer. I am learning so much. I am growing in my walk with God and learning to be reliant ultimately on Him. I am learning how to really be a sister in Christ to my other brother's and sister's in Christ. I've been here four weeks and I have already decided to extend my contract to the middle of August. I have never been happier, or felt more of a sense of family than I do right now with these people. My birthday was this past Tuesday and the Summershiner's made me feel like a million bucks. At midnight Monday evening they sang happy birthday to me and Jeb and Liz gave me a birthday gift, then Tuesday evening when I got off work we celebrated with Sparkling white grape juice and my favorite cake, Strawberry with cream cheese icing. Yes, I celebrated turning 21 sober and it was the best birthday I have ever had.
I'm learning to be vulnerable....I'm learning to give up myself in order to Make God bigger. This place is amazing and I can not begin to describe the things that God is teaching me =)

Why--Oh WHY?
So into my second week of working with the KOA I am finally given permission by our Assistant A.D to get on the jumping pillow, as long as I'm careful. I was indeed very careful. Whenever Mary and all the other staffers were jumping, I sat down, and when they sat down I jumped. No problem there, right? Well I thought so too. I was fine all Tuesday night when we were done jumping....Wednesday morning I wake up to my knee being SO SORE! I wasn't understanding....and I'm used to it being sore so I went to work Wednesday....but most of the day I had to sit down. Wednesday night we're all laying in bed and all of a sudden we here (and I feel) "POP!!"---My knee. I thought it was out of place again...but I didn't get to work yesterday because it hurt so bad...and at around 1:00 yesterday afternoon Mary and Kristin took me to Urgent Care. O how much fun it is to go to an Urgent Care two weeks into living in a new state. Still thinking my knee's popped out of place....we go back and Mary holds my hand the whole time....he plays with my knee (which by the way hurt terribly and I squeezed Mary's hand as hard as I possibly could)--and then said that my knee was in place.
All of a sudden he starts naming off LCL, MCL, and I'm thinking "O NO PLEASE DON'T SAY ACL!"--He doesn't....PHEW! I basically have a sprained LCL and MCL....which isnt that bad even though it FEELS 10 times worse. I thought I could go to work this morning. I got ready and Mary drove me to the office, but our Boss said no : (--so I'm once again off work today which really stinks and is really frustrating considering I've become the clutz of the summershine family. By the way...being the clutz isn't always funny..... : (
So from all of this frustration has been setting in. I'm here to work and to bring God glory, but instead I'm stuck inside with my knee propped up. I thought I was over the knee problems in high school! Apparently not. So last night our staff had a prayer time just to prayer for our staff as well as for all the other summershine staffs....because we really haven't done that. We read scripture that God's been showing us, we prayed over it and asked God to really be in us while we're here, and that we would bring Him glory--not ourselves. This morning when Gary told me I couldn't work today I really wanted to cry. I was extremely frustrated....but about five minutes after being frustrated it's kind of like God put a sense of "it's okay" around me...and basically told me that I had my five minutes of pity, now I have to get over it...and remember that I will be able to work Sunday.
What's the point of this whole blog? Well one it's a prayer request....seriously. One for my knee to heal and for me to LET it heal....and Two for all of us to remember why we're here...to bring God glory. His glory is our reward.
Also though it's to simply say--when people pray together for a purpose, that purpose comes alive. God reveals why we're here...and allows us to vent...but then says "okay it's time to move on"--I'm in love with our Heavenly Father. I'm in LOVE with my job! Most of all....I'm glad I have God by my side.
Go out and bring Him the glory today! =)

Wait...What's my name again?
So I have been here in Williamsburg for a little less than a week and I am absolutely in LOVE with my job! I love being with these girls and getting to know them. I love running into families and talking to them, and then later on they come up and want to talk with us about things. I LOVE seeing fourteen year old boys with manners who say "yes ma'am" even though I'm only a few years older than they are. This job is amazing. It's exhausting, yes, but it's well worth it.
God is definitely working in our staff. We are all so close already. We love each other and we're breaking down walls already in order to be there for one another. We already have inside jokes (hints the "what's my name again")--and we have a lot of fun joking around and hanging out when we can.
Yesterday was my day off and I spent a lot of my day reading. I was able to take a nap and then I spent a lot of time in 1 Corinthians. It was really great to be able to spend time with God, and not have to worry about going in to work. I work today 1-9 and then I'm off again tomorrow and I am pretty sure tomorrow I'm going to spend time off the camp site reading and spending time away. I can not begin to explain how much this job is already changing me. Please continue to pray for us. God is definitely our energy here when things start to get tough--but overall, we have an amazing job doing what we love...bringing God's people closer to Him. =)
God is definitely working in our staff. We are all so close already. We love each other and we're breaking down walls already in order to be there for one another. We already have inside jokes (hints the "what's my name again")--and we have a lot of fun joking around and hanging out when we can.
Yesterday was my day off and I spent a lot of my day reading. I was able to take a nap and then I spent a lot of time in 1 Corinthians. It was really great to be able to spend time with God, and not have to worry about going in to work.
