Every couple of months I remember how bad a blogger I am!! My sincerest apologies to those who actually swing by to read this little peice of my life(if there are actually people left!).
I have been back from vacation for 2 weeks and do not believe I have stopped going since...until today that is! Vancouver was a great time to spend with friends and be reminded of the fact that I should dive into using my spiritual gifts more often. Not so say that I never use them - but that I really need to put more focus on that. Having said that, it was a tiring week. I came home not feeling the refreshment that I was hoping to feel/receive, which made the following week feel more overwhelming than it had to be. Thankfully that was a 4 day week and it is now behind me.
That week led me into this past one. I was blessed enough to spend the majority of the week at Camp Ladore in PA. It is an extremely large camp(I was told that one village of the camp can easily walk 6 miles in a day just by going back and forth from their cabins to all the programs!!), but that is besides the point. I got to take part in a discipleship forum that was put together for the territories in the US and Canada. Much of my time this week was spent talking - seriously, I think we talked from 8am thru midnight(at least)everyday!! More important than the talking is the fact that Holy Spirit showed up in an exciting way. What a week it was. I am now spurred on to fulfill more than ever the great commission. Utterly amazing!!
Coming home on Friday, I was physically tired, but spiritually revived. My refreshment came by spending so much time worshiping the Lord and living in an act of worship with those around me. I now have something to strive for in the coming, very busy weeks.
Blessings.

yay! i check like daily, cuz really what else am i gunna do...welp plenty...but still...haha i love u!
I still come here!!!
One thing that I've realized over time spent in the Kingdom, is that all of the experiences God sends my way, I get to have in that moment. Of course,they are in my memory, but since that is terribly short and remarkaly pocky, I'd often worry that the glow of those times will slip away from me...instead though, I believe that there is a reservoir within my spirit where all of these events and experiences and conversations and worship (and so on and so on!) are poured into, and as long as I am consistently adding to my reservoir (in large ocean ways or small raindrop ways) then there will always be a source of refreshment there for me to draw on in dry seasons. I'm glad that you were filled up in van and at Ladore - albeit in different ways - it's all good for the reservoir babe!!
hey, will you be around old orchard beach? or do you live somewhere way diff now?
You don't really have to apologize because everyone is doing this take a few weeks off and come back to the blog. Take a few weeks off ...come back and blog. It's like it's the in thing for blogs now. Anyway I th ik some of the best conversations I have had with people come at like 1a.m. It's good to hera that you were filled up and spurred on.
BTW did you know theres this little thing/mark on the right side of your blog? Should that be there?
