Hi-Lo-Ha-La!

Hi
I spent a lot of time with the Pollock fam and Stef this week. I love my partners in ministry/crime. Good times...good times!


Lo
Friday night I was getting ready to go to bed when I realized I had lost my cell phone. I pulled up the couch cushion and saw it. I went to pick it up and actually knocked it farther into the couch. After nearly breaking all the bones in my hand and flipping the couch several times, I ended up cutting into the couch with scissors and then prying wood apart with a hammer. It took me just over an hour to get the phone out. My hands are all cut up and I now have a broken couch. I didn't cry but by 2 a.m. tears were very near.

German Shepherd Hater


Last night I went to see my friend Sarah and her new house. Sarah and I went to college here and she recentely moved back. When I went in her house I could hear dogs barking. The first dog was downstairs...it is the cutest baby Husky named Maiya. She is 3 months old and so sweet. Then the scary part...this GIANORMOUS German Shepherd starts pounding down the stairs...seriously the dog was a horse. He saw me and started barking like crazy. I love animals and I have never been afraid of any kind of dog...until that moment. I really thought he was goign to bite me. I was tense the whole time I was there. I am now a German Shepherd hater.

Less of me, More of Him

I wish people would see less of me and more of God.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. The vision for my church is that we are a fellowship of believers who live out the marks of a Lion/Lamb community. Those marks are Acceptance, Passion, Compassion, Hospitality, Encouragement, Accountability and Forgiveness. At first glance I feel like theses are easy things to "be" because that's what we're called to be as Christians. It's what we should be at least. As I've thought more about each of these characteristics I've really come to the conclusion that I have a lot of work to do. I am accepting (of some people), I am passion (about what I want to be), I do have compassion (on most people), I am hospitable (when I want to to be), I am encouraging (but not always), I am accountable (to people I want to be), and I am forgiving (when they "deserve" it). God doesn't call us to be accepting of people we choose to be accepting of or forgiving of people who deserve it. He calls us to be something so much more. He has given his son for me, for all of us. He calls us to be his children and his light in a dark and fallen world.

I know that I will never be perfect. I just want to be who God created me to be, I want to be someone who exudes these qualities. I want to be so much more of God and so much less of myself.

Camp Deer Run is the camp for me...bum bum bum bum

Camp Brookwoods and Deer Run in New Hampshire is my favorite place on earth. I'm not just saying that, it really is. My sophomore year in college I ended up applying to work as a counselor at several camps and eventually chose Brookwoods and Deer Run. It was one of the best choices I have ever made. I went out East without knowing anyone except the director with whom I had talked once over the phone. I'm still not quite sure why I did that...I guess it was a God-thing. If I'm honest, my first year wasn't too good. I mean there were a few good times, but it wasn't all I had hoped. I went back that January for the Annual Winter Reunion and that's when I knew camp was my favorite place.

Here are some of my favorite things about camp: Moose tracks ice cream, morning mania, Bob, Gizmos, lifeguard towers, sneaking into the boathouse, peeing with Erin, inspiration point, breakfast cookouts, campfires, Jason Reeses' jungle room, outdoor chapel, front lawn, dancing with Amy, trip locker hammock, the Bowlings, Chibougalash shirts :), broomball, lifeguarding in the boats, Uncle JJ and Aunt Rose, cabin assignment day, the blob, Anson and the boys it was named after, the Bowlings, evening meeting prayer times, days off in Maine, fridays=pizza + chocolate milk, Mike Brigham, whitewater rafting, the Wathnes' home, MRO trips, late night swims, counselor hunt, the St. Johns, mission impossible, throwing balls at Whitetail and Wapiti counselors, sneaking into the Hawk, late night talks with Jess, banquets, Miss Deer Run, visiting Aqua Jane and her awesome house, docks in Wolfeboro, hot chocolate, Medieval Massacre, changeover weekend, walkie-talkies, activity signups, sledding on mattresses, John H. reading Narnia books, ceramics, shooting the bike class with the tennis ball lancher, counselor bible studies, Bobbe Hackman awards :), mentor time, Andy Morgan male model Winnipesaukee, walmart runs, Wolfe's Tavern, Ossipee church, co-counselors, Weirs beach, mail time, snack shack, camp videos, sneaking into the loon for A/C, picnic lunches, lifeguard training with Terry and Liz, learning to sail, Plum Island campouts, camp weddings, reunions, sing-us-a-song's, plunging toilets in the Reindeer cabin, staff week, lodge parties and ceiling fans, teaching rockets to 8-year-old boys, learning to drive stick in the orange jeep...the list goes on forever.

Hi-Lo-Ha-La

HiMy friend, Holly, invited me to go see The Nutcracker at the OKC Civic Center. I go there a lot for musicals and Symphony events but I've never ever seen a ballet. We got complimentary tickets because we knew one of the little girls in the program. Our tickets were on the 6th row! It was so wonderful to be so close and actually see faces. I always buy the cheap tickets and sit way at the top. I loved the ballet and can't wait to go again!

LoI got sick early last week with allergies and a bad sinus infection. Several people had told me to start sinus rinsing...so I did. It is one of the grossest things I've ever done, but very beneficial. You heat up water put it in this strange squirt bottle...then put medicine in it...then squirt it up one nostril then it comes out the other with a bunch of other grossness. It has really helped although I really hate it.
HaThis is part Hi, part Ha. I got a Wii for Christmas from my awesome bosses! It has been so much fun. I love playing it and have definitely put more than 10 hours on it already. The funny thing is that every so often, after I've been playing for awhile it says, "Why don't you take a break?" and it makes me! I don't want to take a break, I want to play the Wii!!! It's probably good because my hand is usually cramping up but come on!

La
This Thursday I'm going to meet up with 7 of my girlfriends from high school. We all grew up going to different schools but to the same church. I still see them all at different times, but we try to all get together every few months.

Carrie-my Michael W. Smith concert buddy
Stephanie-my water park and amusement park friend
Melissa-my workout partner and counselor :)
Kim-the one who lives far away, who has a super cute 4-year-old and is pregnant with twins!
Ginger-the one I got into a lot of trouble with and mom of 3
Amy-the one I've stayed closest to and mom of sweet baby Abigail
Paige-the one I see most because we both work at the church where we grew up and mom of beautiful Jada

Love you girls! Can't wait to laugh together!

Ok so I'm at work right now and this picture was pulled off the internet and used in our Mid-High service a year or so ago. We did a slideshow of how we perseve Jesus. Boring story but it reminds me of the Vintage21 videos. They are hilarious! Don't take them offensively...I think Jesus would laugh.

Hi-Lo-Ha-La!

I hate that I have become so inconsistent in my blogging attempts! I think to myself, "Oh I should totally blog about that," then I never do. I love having pictures to go along with my stories but I never seem to upload them fast enough. So here is my blog...without pictures.

Hi
I am an official graduate student of Oklahoma City University. I start in January! OCU is a private school about 15 minutes from home. It's kind of affiliated with the United Methodist Church. I'm not even sure what the degree I'm pursuing is actually called because it's fairly new at the school and they've changed the name several times already. It's something like Master of Education: Applied Behavioral Studies in Professional Counseling. I want to be a child and adolescent counselor, not in school but in my own facility. I enrolled for my first two classes last Monday and that was really exciting. I'm taking Sociocultural Foundations in Counseling then Addiction. My advisor is interesting to say the least. I think he's a germ-o-phobe because I stuck out my hand to shake his twice and he acted like he didn't see it. He's also real sensitive to smells. I really enjoy awkward people so I'm sure we'll get along well. :)

Thanksgiving was also really good! It's my favorite holiday because it's the only one when I get to see all of my extended family at once.

Life Hurts God Heals graduation was also week before last. It was really fun. I catered in some yummy Mexican food and we had a luau/Survivor theme. There were 16 graduates this time around. Graduation is always bittersweet because I enjoy the break but really miss Tuesday nights with students.

Lo
I've just been so busy of the past couple weeks and will be until January. I feel like time is flying by and I'm missing out of just seeing the world. I went to the National Youth Worker's Convention in Nashville and one of the speakers talked about being slow and taking time to take everything in. They had shirts that had "I'm in the slow club." on them. I tried to get one but they sold out way to fast.

Ha
Stefanie and I flew out to Nashville before the rest of our group. As I was trying to put my suitcase in the overhead compartment Stef said, "Excuse me Ma'am! There are people behind you!" The people around us got real quiet and one man stood up to help me. It was so funny! So that became our new thing. We did it several times a day when we were in a large crowd just to get reactions. People were hilarious! They didn't know that we knew each other and we're so shocked by how rude we were. It's probably not as funny to you as you read but someday I'll do it to you and you'll understand! :)

La
Today is our annual Christmas luncheon at work. It's my 3rd one and I've been looking forward to it for a long time. Really good food, really funny entertainment and a couple hours that I don't have to sit at my desk!
