Wow Summer Daycamp is almost on it’s way. We will have our training meeting on Saturday from 9AM-5PM. Fun stuff! This year I am going to be leading with Nathan for 6-8. For many of us leaders we have been worried, anxious, or like excited. My heart is all there and ready to serve. So for the worried ones out there PRAY about it! Sis In Christ, Christina
Today I got my ears pierced again…Heehee…yes again. I think someone’s going to kill me. I’m mad. I’m tired. I’m confused. I feel all err..Oh well..I need to get cleaned up and rested for the next day…
We went to the zoo today. It was pretty fun. Ok, I guess I’m out now. Laters.
On Monday the 1st day I fell alseep on the train back home. Yesterday I did also. But after dinner around 6:30PM i just crashed. Luckily I woke up at 1:00AM. If I didn’t I wouldn’t beable to set my alarm clock. And I just realized I forgot to talk to some people that I needed to.
“For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.” (1 Thess. 1:4-5) Training Meetings Wow our 2nd training meeting was on Sunday. It was awesome. I really got to know Stephanie and Sammie better. We were talking it out in the kitchen in Campbell. I really can’t wait til we get going on the trip. We now will be doing VBS in the morning and Construction in the afternoon. I am having a little trouble sharing my testimony. But I think in time I’ll be open freely. Saying prayer(s) for me is pretty good so that’s one of my strengths. If you ask I’ll say yes. Because saying “YES!” is the thing in Mexicio! I’ve been wanting to volunteer when people ask me but that’s when I’m shy, but asking is always a “YES!”
When the tough times come along. I need to endure. I really have been complaining a lot. I need to lighten up. It’s not even about my missions trip. I’ve been thinking long and hard about daycamp more than my missions trip. Oh well. I was about to give up my missions trip…But you know what..I need a break. Whether it really is a break or not…I call it one. I mean yes more kids. But what other opportunities will I take. Many people think all summer is for me is another stress factor. I can agree with that some times. But is stress really a big deal…Well maybe in the long run for me emotionally…Will stress get in the way…? Every summer so far I’ve been stressed out. Many people think I need to take a lower key and not try to do so much…But is daycamp and a missions trip and summer school really too much? I don’t think so…If I can’t do it Christ will help me! Today when I woke up I felt really I mean really bad….And even through out the day I was about to call Kaiser. God works in many ways. Whether I see it or not. I think for me…My relationship with God has gotten stronger. I think starting next year or after this summer I can start writing some of my sermons and stuff/lessons. I’m all about hitting it hard. So for this next week and the week to come I’m going to be hitting it hard….and harder than ever! Please pray for me as I try to hit it up with his will and power that I will obey and follow and not get booted out of line. Thanks be to God! For He gives us the victory though JC! Daycamp is stressing me out…I think since last Thursday I’ve been crying. So I need to get back and seek and…ok tomorrow I need to wake up and endure long hours again. I hope everybody elses’ summer is going ok. Of course mine is book being a servant. But being a servant is the only thing I want to do for you Lord! Well that with worshiping the Awesome God of Love and obeying and listening. Live it out and pumping up my faith at the same time! Thanks to God for showing me new things everyday and giving me opportunities to live out my faith for others. Xtina Is out being a servant
Due to the school season beginning again, (rather depressing is it not) and things being rather busy at the moment, my time to sit done and write has been rather short. Although I have been trying my best, and to those reading my story, I am working on the next post, so do not fear. But I thought that I would make this blog so my reader’s would know that I haven’t fallen off the face of the earth and what not. I’ll give updates and bits and pieces of stories just to keep reader’s occupied, in case I don’t get the chance to post every day. I just thought it would be a nice touch.
Let’s just say I’m too stressed out to eat anything anymore. Sigh….
So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! 1 Corinthians 10:12 I think this was one of my biggest mistakes in my prayer letter. If you think you are standing firm becareful. I think I am standing firm but that is one of my biggest mistakes I said or have said in awhile. Wow what does firm really mean? I guess sometimes I think I’m on the right track and trying to do all these things I don’t realize what will or has happened to me. It also saids: No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Cor 10:13 I guess I too can be tempted. I think right now it’s a time of prayer and if I do reconsider in the next 2 weeks not to go then I will see. Please continue praying as I am stressed out and have no idea what to do…But the Lord will lead…and I will follow..
So 5 more days til the big day of taking off. Please pray! I’m excited! Time to start packing and getting ready. Saturday I’m leaving at 8:30AM then we are driving all the way to SD then staying there. We will be there at 7PM. Then on Sunday we will worship then we will be driving in to Ensenada. Then we will be at RAV eat and prepare for the next day then we will sleep. Monday-Thurs wake up early and do ministry and construction. *It would be good if anyone can donate any tools. By Friday. Thanks. Then on Friday we will be shopping and then going back to SD. In SD we will be staying at the Best Western Hotel. Then on Saturday we will be heading back to church. Thanks.
Daycamp and Mission Update I can complain and complain. I guess sometimes you don’t know little things until someone points it out to you. I’m stressed and mad. I think it’s rubbing off. I am trying to get things settled. But leaders in my group are stressing me out more than ever. I think I’m just about to go bye bye. Sigh. I need to get through this. Bad part is it’s only the 2nd week! Maybe it’s just the long hours, the food, and the hours of sleep I get. It’s hectic for me. I have to get up early and then my body is like no energy. Endurance. KEEP ON…. So I have 10 more days til the mission trip to Mexico! I am excited! I can’t wait! I need the break. I think also I need to work with younger kids. I’m all stressed out by the 6-8 my head started hurting and stomich too. Also we went Ice Skating today that was fun stuff. So the medical part of this trip is really bugging me. I don’t get it. I already got my Hep A and now Kaiser wants to give me all these other meds. I think I can survive. So also things are going to be much more different in Mexico. I need to remember to drink water. I’m on it now….2 things of Nalgene and I’m good. Also wearing sunscreen and hat and sunglasses. Please pray that I won’t be too stressed out on the missions trip. I feel like I’m really stressing. Also that daycamp is going to be a little more mellow these next couple of weeks.

In the works of Stone, a predominant concept is the concept of cultural language. Therefore, Reicher[1] suggests that the works of Stone are reminiscent of Tarantino.

Wow I got through the week. It was somewhat a sucess. I slept in today. I was kind of thinking isn’t it rude to yell when someone is saying prayer? So also…This week is kind of a bust everyone complaining. I think I should go camping this week. I need to get away. And when the 6-8 is a bust they won’t be complaining about me and Nathan anymore. Yup. We are trying our best and this is the group we didn’t even want. So there you go complaining and getting us made. Why don’t you go do it!
1 more month til the trip. I have almost all the music down. The language is coming long ok. I think I need to practice speaking more Spanish now. Prayer Request: Right now that my heart will be ready to serve on the mission trip, and that next week that my heart will be ready to serve also for daycamp. Also that God will lead me and that I really won’t ditch Him. I feel alittle bit like falling so I need to really get closer. These last weeks I was even thinking of pulling out of the missions trip. So hopefully God will lead me to which direction to take. I mean I already started the process so hopefully I can finish it. Also financally I’m doing ok for this trip. I’ve really thought long and hard about Retreat. It’s the week before school starts and I don’t think I’ll have enough money to cover that so I guess all I can do is pray. Plus I don’t like to ask people for financial help. So the prayer letter that I sent out it didn’t talk about any financial aid, but if I get something meraculously, I would be thankful. I think I’ve been spending too much money on food and gifts for others. Does food add up or what!?
Me, being random and all decided that I needed to start a blog, and here I am doing it. I’m ignoring the fact at the moment that I have no idea what I’m doing, and just going with the flow. This will mainly be used for status update on my fanfiction’s and other related things. Posting random bits of stories and such, nothing too big. So after this I’m just going to go and see how this actaully works and all that, because me being me, knows absolutly nothing about computers.
