So...It's been awhile.

I'm just not that good at this whole blog thing. Anyways. Since last time, I have moved home to Oklahoma for the summer and I am terribly missing school. I have just been sitting around all summer because I can't get a job. Grr....with the economy bad people who have been working other jobs got laid off and and are now forced to work full-time in the jobs that I am apply for. They have experience, I don't. I would hire them over me too. Mr. President, Where are my jobs you promised me? Anyways...

I'm leaving on a mission trip on Friday and I am sooo excited. This is my 5th year to go, and I love it. My church goes to a camp call Catholic H.E.A.R.T. Workcamp. They are all over the country. You work on people's homes, painting, light repair work, etc. but then you come back and it is basically a giant youth rally. Awesome. The first year we went to Louisville, KY and it changed my faith life. I began to see what it means to live like Jesus lived. I learned that you shouldn't live life asking "What Would Jesus Do" but ask "What Did Jesus Do?" (Maybe I should make my own braclets!) Then we went to Orlando, the Rockford, IL. Last summer we went to New Orleans which I had beeen begging Joe (my youth minister) to go to since Katrina. This was the first year it was open to people under 18, so we packed our bags and went. I was cool becuase since we were helping Cathiolic Charaties with Katrina clean-up you really felt a part of something bigger. My group hung dry-wall in a home and now the woman who lived there is one step closer to being out of a hotel and back in her home. I hope this year God will use me to just make the life of one person just a little bit easier. No big miracles needed, I'm not that kind of girl. "I pray that You will use my life, In whatever way Your name is glorified." Please keep our youth group of Yukon, OK in your prayers and all the campers that particiapte in CHWC.
