Less Than a Month!!

Good morning, Camp Birthday!

Ignite is less than a month away and I am so dang excited!

It's been so fun reading about the summer adventures of everyone! It's definitely the next best thing to actually getting to see you!

So my summer has been pretty great so far. It really hasn't been to eventful, but just really nice to be home in Llano! I babysit during the week for a family that I just love! Twin boys, 4 years old, and their big sister, who is 6. Needless to say, we have a lot of fun!

The weekend of the 4th I went out to Ft. Davis (west Texas) with my family to spend a few days. Both of my brothers are living out there for a few months so it was much fun dropping in to visit them! Don't know if any of you have heard of the famous Marfa Lights in Marfa, Texas... but if you haven't, you should google them. They are AMAZING! (ps. note the mustache of the brother on the left -- this was a recent development. not sure how i feel about it!)

We went out to the viewing center for the lights one afternoon to goof around. My brothers are always a riot... so this was more fun than I could have asked for!

Other than that, not too much has been going on. Being home with a set schedule (of early mornings!) during the week has really helped me in the area of self-discipline, which has in turn been HUGE in helping me become more disciplined in my spiritual life. Last semester I felt pretty inconsistent in the time I spent in the word and in prayer, so it has been really nice being able to focus hard on that these past few months and begin to see just how much having consistent time with Jesus really impacts every other aspect of my life!

I am so ready to see everyone and really just cannot wait for Ignite! Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last few weeks of summer! See you all very soon!
