I'm back home, and the canoe trip was a success.  I loved it and had a great time with everyone that went.  If you want to hear some funny stories, just ask me or Kelly.  We had a few adventures- going down the wrong side of the rapids, going over the top of another canoe, getting stuck on rocks......  It was so good to see God working in the heart's of everyone that went.  It was very encouraging.  It was nice to just get away from every day life, and take in the beauty of God's creation while floating down the river, playing games in the woods, and staring at all of the stars at night while singing praises to God.  Well, i have a week to recover and relax before i leave again this Saturday to go down to New Orleans to help clean up the damage from the hurricane.  I am excited to see how God will work in this upcoming trip. 

I must realize that my obedience even in the smallest detail of life has all of the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it.  -Oswald Chambers

Well, God is good!  It always amazes me how spending time reading His word and praying can just calm my heart and reassure me that he has everything under control.  There is a middle school pool party tonight.  All of you middle schoolers better be there, cause i miss seeing all of you!  I am getting excited for the canoe trip.  I think it will be a great chance to just get away, have fun, build relationships, and grow spiritually.  I just pray that God would provide me with lots of energy and patience for it!  Well, I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer, and is taking time to relax and spend time with God.  Adios
