Simply Blessed.

I am so blessed. I have an amazing family, friends, job, etc. I don't understand why I get all these blessings. I have come to a humbling experience where I have realized all that that I take for granted each day. Like just today at Upward Basketball Camp we were talking about creation. What if God didn't create the nighttime. We would always be in the dark. Thank God for light. It's the little things that we never think about that could change our perception of life. I am 1 of few in the world that lives on more that 2 dollars a day. I can't even imagine doing on that. God is so good. It amazes me how he put the world into motion and is so vast, yet he desires a relationship with us and has a plan for our life. He is so SWELL.

This summer is going great. I just started on week 3 of being a youth intern for FBC Brandon. I love it. The girls here are amazing and beautiful. This week we are doing a mission trip to Jackson each day. We are putting on an Upward Basketball Camp for some kiddos. It's going great. Scrimmage time was a little rough. Just trying to help the girls know which was their goal and that they couldn't slap eachother was hard, but entertaining. During devotion today, I was humbled by a little girl's prayer. She was so real in her prayer. She was really thinking out what she was saying. Sometime I feel like I know all the right things to say, but they don't come from the heart. This girl was a light to me. It's cool how God can speak to us through people we least expect. Praise Him.

I will no longer be a teenager in a few days. That is crazy to me. I still remember the first time I had a friend stay the night when I was 6 and we played in the leaves. It seems like that was just a few years ago, not 14. It just goes to show that life won't slow down for us. We can't live in the past or the future. We should live in the present taking each minute as a blessing from God. 20 years old.. Crazy.

I need to put pics up ASAP. I will do that soon.

Love More.
