24/7

Reading break has come and gone. After this weekend of intense-paper-writing, I concluded that I maybe should have done a bit more reading and writing than relaxing and taking a break...But my final hermeneutics paper is done and finished as of yesterday, and I had a pretty wicked awesome reading break as well. There were only a few of us that remained here at camp for the break, so good times were had. Jen even made a visit down :) SO great to see her smiling face!

This past weekend was the Senior High Retreat here at Qwanoes. I had only a part time weekend of ministry-so on Saturday I worked in the kitchen in the morning, and then in the afternoon I did activities in the challenge course. Later Saturday evening, us Kaleo gals went over to Jim Bad's house to have a girls-night with his wife Sarah. We had some amazing chocolate fondu-Sooo good! And then they all watched Pride and Prejudice. I had to skip out on the movie unfortunately, and head back early with a couple other procrastinators to finish our papers:( Not long after getting back though, I had a surprise visit from my little sister Maddy and Ma and Pa. It had been awhile since I had talked to them all-and seen, so it was pretty sweet catching up and showing Mads around a bit.

This week is our 24/7 week of prayer. We all previously signed up for an hour every day this week to spend time in Room 204 praying. The room has been set up with papers and markers and sticky-tac for us to put things up on the walls. There are blown up pictures of each of the leaders and Kaleo students  on the walls as well-with papers underneath for everyone to write on. Prayer for all of us as we begin this week with God would be awesome-just that we would open our hearts and be stretched, and be willing to also listen to what God has to say to us as well. Today was the first full day of it, and already I'm pumped to see how the rest of the week will go. I know this week will be one that will be forever engraved in my memories.

To my dismay, i've seem to come down with a rather harsh bellow-of-a-cough. It's plagued me for over a week now, and even after downing the buckleys, it remains...

Prayer for my health would be sweet as well, as there is less than a month remaining in this semester!!!
