Struggle...

Okay, so I usually don't ask you guys of this for myself, because usually it's a concern I have for someone else (friend, family member, etc.); but I would really be thankful if you guys could just be praying for me right now. I've found myself in some struggles within a couple different relationships I have with people. And although you don't know the details of these struggles, God knows, and I just really need His help to get on track a little better. You guys mean so much to me, and I'm so blessed to have you in my life, and I want to thank you and our Lord for being there for me when I need to talk or to listen.
Love always,

Only Mid-July...

So, it's almost the end of July, haha getting ahead of myself, I guess it's only mid-July, thank goodness! I have so much going on in the school front still! I'm still working on my correspondence, and I'm in a slow patch for that, because there are silly questions that are discouraging. Also, I just received my Residence 'package' telling me everything I need to know about living there next year - there is like 4 pages of small writing on all the rules, etc. There are also a couple pages I have to send back asap, so I should get around to that too! Some of my relatives are up from BC and Alberta and staying at my house, so I've been not only kicked out of my bed, but out of my house at night to sleep, because there are no beds, and I prefer not to sleep on the couch and be woken up by little ones early in the morning! I'm just staying at my Mom's boyfriends' apartment, which is pretty cool, since I have the place to myself! One set of my relatives come here every summer, for most of the summer, and practically live at my camp...but I don't know how soon they will be able to stay overnight at my camp (or want to). My camp was hit by that big storm the other day - it is located in one of the areas that was hit pretty hard (my camp [above], that my Grandpa built (before the storm) - curtesy of Alyssa)... There are huge trees root up, and fallen everywhere, there are also six holes in the roof of my camp. Amazingly only one window broke, and that was because a huge tree fell on the roof right above it. Somehow the skylights are fine!!! Which is surprising, because the roof was just covered with trees and branches, except for around the two skylights! Our dock, kayak, and canoe are totally fine too, but there were a bunch of trees in the water right around our dock. Nothing inside my camp was destroyed either, truly by the grace of God. And I'm really praying that those who were down at different homes and camps in that area are safe and that they were also blessed with not much damage to there properties.

A Higher Power...

Hey Everyone! I've been quite busy lately so that is why I haven't blogged! But don't give up on me being a frequent blogger yet! Because I'm procrastinating to write this!! So, you know that I was planning on renting a room at a family friend's house while going to college because I was 128th on the dorm room waiting list and it seemed pretty unlikely that that would happen. But I kept forgetting to call and take my name off the list because I had made other arrangements! On Monday night after Nate and I left to go to my Dad's camp for a couple days (a picture of the sunset at my Dad's camp on Tuesday night, above), my college called to tell me that there was now a room in residence for me, if I wanted it, and that I had 48 hours to decide. Except I got home from camp on Wednesday afternoon at 4:00, giving me about three hours to decide!! Geez, was I ever stressed out - I weighed the pros and cons of both places. And for most of the night I was leaning towards staying at the family friend's house, but then something hit me, and it hit me hard saying that I'm meant to be in residence because the chances, I thought, of being such a high number on the list and actually getting a room, is definitely from a higher power. So after many long minutes (three hours) of discussion with a couple people who weren't very helpful (thanks anyways guys!), I knew it was my decision, and no one could tell me what I should do . . . I called my college back and took the dorm room! I am now an officially 'on campus student'! lol I'm really excited for college, and it's getting so close! : )

Love always,
