First post

Well, my first post on this new blog... *chuckles* and my second post of *any* blog. :oD Can you hear the voice of experience?!
*grins* I'm wondering how long this whole blogging thing is gonna take to settle comfortably into my dysfunctional computer world... It'll be nice though, 'cause you can only fit so much into an MSN name. ;o)
Right now I'm battling a nasty cold which seems to be making itself quite at home. :oS I think I'm recovering from Camp alright, though. Ah camp... yeah, big experience. It was incredibly tough in many ways, especially since It was my first time as a cabin leader. But over all, despite some really aweful things that happened, I think God is taking my broken heart and molding it anew into something greater. I met some truely awesome people there who I hope God gives me the chance to get to know more... As well the relationships that were cultivated with the boys in my cabin. I'm sure that is where a large part of my ministry is, although I'm still not sure where to go from here. Five of my boys went home during the middle of the camp because of an abuse situation... which makes it tough to figure out how to deal with each of them now. I'm gonna need God's help more then ever before. He'll be there though... I can be confident in that.
Aside from camp and my cold... Things are looking strangely uncertain for the near future. I have a few bits of school left to finish (including half my math 12 :o$), but after that nothing is definate. I guess if I'm honest, I'm trying really hard not to become depressed over what I could easily construe as a bleak future. At least, as far as work/career goes. I still believe God has a special plan for me, but it's the practicality of faith that is hard. I was reading James 1 today... an amazing passage of scripture. It struck me that we need to, once believe in faith, live out that believe. It's one thing to believe God will work something for his good, but then to go and live the details according to that faith is much harder. I pray God will help me with that.

Heh... it's getting late and I should get my good self to bed methinks.:o(
There's plenty more to say... but also plenty more chances to post. :oD (I hope!)

God bless!
