| Hello Beautiful Women,
I second what Christie said-3 weeks-what the heck..thats amazing!
Camp life is moving along at a too fast to handle kind of pace. Tomorrow is the end of 3rd session-and then two weeks of fourth and I go home. Truthfully, Im excited to go home-and to spend a few days with my family. But I also want to be content in the moment-and not wish the rest of the summer gone. I know that God has huge lessons in it for me-and to leave now would leave the end of the story unwritten.
I get so thrilled about thinking about returning to BC-and catching up with each one of you.. For real-thinking about being able to hang out again gives me so much energy. That 3W part of my heart is still very much alive-and very much missing all of your smiling and crying faces. :)
Just a quick hello-remember who loves you and who you belong to.
Laura

| Its very strange to think that in a mere three or so weeks, many of us will be reunited. Its also strange to think that many of us will not be seeing each other for quite some time. Oh how strange life is...
Anyway, things in Saskatchewan aren't any more eventful than they ever have been. God still laughs at me a little, but I am growing deeper and deeper in my relationship with Christ. Which is cool, considering I've never really been able to say that before.
Oh, and speaking of growth? I've semi-mastered my fear of singing in public, and managed to do so while playing a slightly complicated song on the keyboard. One of the men in my church shared some encouraging words with me post-singing experience: "Step out in faith, and God will bless you." Well, I'm doing it ladies. I am stepping out on to the metaphorical tightrope and growing all the way.
I'm praying for each and every one of you, praying that you'll experience the amazing peace that God has to offer, and that you'll all arrive safely at TWU (or wherever you're journeying) when the time comes to hit the books again.
And just FYI? Looking back on this school year, I have never had so much fun in my life. Thanks ladies, and thanks Laura for tapping into my love language. :)
I love and miss all of you! Dance party in Fraser E, F, G or H in a month? :) I think so.
Love, Christie
PS: I was going to say that I was listening to the new Downhere CD, but a) my computer won't let me load the search for music page, and b) I'm actually not listening to it yet. My ears are bleeding due to the crap known as country music (sorry if your musical tendencies lie in that general direction). I am too nice, and too considerate... I should have brought my iStation to work. :( | | |
| HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

| Hello Trinity Family,
GUESS WHAT???? I was a Sunday School teacher at Bible camp for a week
and realized something horrifying. I like teaching. As in, I like
telling people what I know and help them understand it too. Especially
in spiritual matters. Like mentoring the young girls in my youth group
makes me soooo excited. It really is a passion of mine that I never
realized I had. God kept working on that desire. I argued with him and
told him I did not want to be a teacher because I hate children. (Even
after a week at camp with them, and they were great, I'm still not a
fan.) I'd much rather talk with teenagers who are struggling with
premarital sex, cutting, anorexia and drugs. (I know kids go through
stuff too, but I just connect with teens). So God says I could be a
high school teacher. HA! I thought Trinity didn't offer that course but
to my surprise they DO! Totally insane.
So to make it shorter, I have changed my major to Education. I'll be
minoring in History and English (YEAH! Fav subjects). I'm really
excited about it. I know that a teacher can make a huge difference in a
kids life. I know my teachers helped me sooo much to become who I am
today.
Anyway, other topics, I don't miss TWU. I do want to go back but not
for another four months lets say. I'm loving home and my friends are
awesome and I'm making new friends, new young girls from Youth who
really need encouragment to keep walking the walk. I'm really gunna
miss that part the most. At Trinity I get poured into all the time, but
here I get to pour out which is awesome.
Well ladies, I guess this is farewelll. Kate I am angry at you for
NEVER talking to me. Ellen, same to you. France, I heard the song "I
had a Bad Day" and I laughed until it was over because it reminded me
of you falling in the rain! AHA!
Does anyone know what happened to Gwen?
Oh and Christie, I'm taking American Lit this fall. Is it good? And what about that concert you and Sarah were talking about?
TTYL
God bless you all!

| Ladies, I have what is shaping up to be THE funniest story of LIFE to tell you when we get back to TWU. Initially, it was not a funny story by any means... but at this point in time, the story is quite amusing. Really. I'm sure you'll all enjoy laughing along with me about how cruelly ironic my life is sometimes, and how God likes to point and laugh at me like a sitcom.
So there.
Life is manageable. I'll be back at TWU in one month and 16 days. That's quite exhilarating.
Love, Christie | | |
