Funny things that happen

Ok, so here we are sitting in a random parking lot in the middle of Montana checking our e-mail. It is too funny to drive around towns looking for wireless connections. That being said, life in Montana is good. It has been a hard week for me though. It is beautiful here and the people are amazing, but I have been struggling. I am not sure if it is finally hitting me that Wartburg starts tomorrow or that we are at a camp that is not Lakeside. I am not sure what it is. I have been lacking the peace that I had last week.

I continue to grow as I struggle. I am slowly getting over my fear of heights. For those of you who don't know, with the exception of sleeping next to open closet doors, facing tall heights is my biggest fear. This week alone I have been 30 feet in the air walking on ropes and have jumped off of a 15 foot platform into the lake. Even though it took getting way pumped about doing these things and some encouragement from the team, I am so glad I went through with them.

We spent today working on different things. Stephanie and I made over 40 beds and did some touch up paint work on some of the walls. Kelly and Jesse helped build a wall in the old kitchen area on camp. It was fun to be busy again. I kinda felt like J-Lo in the movie "Maid in Manhatten". No rich, hot guys single to fool though (well, except Jesse).

God continues to reveal His love and His divine purpose for us. It is so good to be constantly affirmed in our goals and mission. I am still excited to move to the next place...yet sad to leave the current place. This is me peacing out!
