Eat one blueberry; put ten in the bucket.
Life is a gradual incine that gets steeper and steeper until we hit the summit and then we get a breathtaking view. The summit is heaven were we get to look back at all are joys and sorrows; rights and wrongs. When we did something Jesus wanted us to and maybe grumbled about it, then later wished we had kept our mouths closed.
Today I went blueberry picking. It wasn't to hot, but it was uncomfortably warm. There weren't many berries.(in two and a half hours I only picked a half gallon.) Mom says were going back. Ahhh! The Allen's came and forgot their lunch cooler. We shared our miniscule sandwitches that turned out to be like the five loaves and two fishes. I must be honest, I didn't want to share my sandwitch! I wanted to eat ALL of it. I did complain to myself. (What maturity!) In the end it felt good to share and I didn't go hungry. The only thing that needed to change was my attitude towards the people who forgot their lunch.(Food is VERY important when you're picking in hot weather for awhile.)
I am not going to camp. Thanks for your encouragement guys, but I gave my money to Johnny so he could go. It wasn't really my money anyways. Lizzy did that car wash.
I know I know. "What!? You aren't going to camp!?! After all I just SAID!?!" I do wish I could have gone but I decided what was more important to me and I blessed someone in my choice. I felt really guilty last night after telling Chree, but I know that there is always next year to consider too.
I need to go read some more. Almost done!!

Wow. And here I was going to call last night and ask to come. Rats! ;)
I'm still trying to understand your decision to not go. I still wish you would, but I don't want you to feel pressured into something. It's no fun to do something because others want you to do it, and you don't. You'll have to come up with Liz and I when we crash their party... Mwahaha! ;D
I'm thinking of going to Walmart tomorrow to look for some stuff for school. Maybe we'll run into each other...
I loved reading that post...it reminds me why I love being your friend. You are developing into a mature young lady of God and that becomes more and more rare with each passing generation.
I'm glad you're not going to Camp...I've found that unless you can commit your attitude towards something in advance you often will get a false impression of the picture God wanted you to see. That is not to say that you would not have benefitted from camp this year, but I really think by the tone of this post you might just benefit as much by staying home.
You would be so joyful to learn the ways in which my attitude is changing toward my family. I called my Father on the way home from CA to tell him that when Steven and I got home I was gonna shake up this families dynamics, when I got home, that is just what happened. I find it odd that my brother, with whom I'd got along with the most, is now the one with whom I'm finding the most walls up with. I'm excited about not being me anymore. Well, not being me for me, but being who God wants me to be. Being myself was pretty miserable and a life with no reason. Living for Him is full of Purpose and supernatural gifts.
Anyway, I'll be back later, I must go.

You're an inspiration!!
Somebody I know wanted to know what I thought of their writing capability, because I've proven myself to be quite masterful with the english language when my heart is committed. She seems to have either written very slowly or forgotten to give me her finished work. Either way, I may just have to wait till I return to Washington. Surely not, that might be till December!!
"wink wink" *Hint Hint*

You say I'm a writer?! I thought you were quoting your first paragraph from a book! Then I realized those were YOUR words!
I haven't forgotten. It's in my bottom drawer in my room. I don't think it's very good. Please give me more time cause I have to finish my school work. Mom comes first. Sorry it's taken so long.
I love you guys. You do so much for me.
Hey, it's late, I must go...
..of course, take as long as you want, but have it to me with-in 6 weeks.
