Fall...;)

My least favorite time of the year is here... ;) But for some reason, I've been kinda excited for it! It's almost 7 pm, and it's 77*! I'm a little ready for the cooler weather just about now. ;) ;) One of the many things that I don't like about fall, is the school-starting part.... I'm still waiting for someone to tell me a good reason of why have to do it. :P

My typical school day. :) And yes, I now have to wear those things in the middle... but no, you won't find me wearing them other than football games. ;D

What IS Your Life?

"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, then vanisheth away."

-James 4:14

I don't know about others, but all the 9/11 stuff really has been making me nervous.  Yes, God is in control, and He promised He would never leave or forsake us.  But, I'm human, and I still tend to worry...I'm working on it.  :)

Throughout the night, (11pm-2am) I saw several unfamiliar trucks speed down our road.  Around midnight, a firetruck with all it's lights flashing raced by our house.  Then there was also airplanes at rare times.  Not to mention several threats of terrorist attacks, car bombs, etc.  We didn't know about it ten years ago, so how do we know what they might do this time?  They've got even more of a reason why they would want to do something to us, anyways. 

All these thoughts were racing through my head last night. (Or should I say this morning? ;)) so, I read the book of James before bed.  One question kept coming to my mind, "If something were to happen..." (since it's not 100% that something will), then I came across James 4:14-15.  It made me really think, "What is my life?"  Well, according to that verse, - it's a vapor. It comes, then quickly goes.  Why should I be afraid if something were to happen?  Besides, isn't dying our gain?

  "For ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that." 

Whatever happens today, if something happens, it'll all be what He wants.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Lord's Day!  :)

Spanish Camp

Last week we had our 3rd Spanish Camp.  My favorite part of it is that it's, Spanish Family Camp.  =)

This was my first year having a camera to take with me.  It went with me everywhere! 

Gettin' ready to leave...

We're here.

Uh oh...;)

'

This pretty much sums up Thursday and Saturday...

 

 But there was some nice weather later on in the day...

Did my Bible reading here Friday Morning...

This is also the lake where we do canoeing... 'cause of Irene, we didn't get to do it this year.  :( :( 

Uhh...this needs an explanation.  ;)  I got up at 5 to help with breakfast on Thurs.  I was the only one awake in my cabin so I didn't turn the light on.  I heard, uh, lets just say something really weird happened, so I quickly ran out the cabin..and apparently didn't see what I put on my feet.

At the fire...

The next morning we packed, had breakfast, had a morning session, and left.  We left a lot earlier than usual 'cause of the hurricane. There was barely any traffic, 'cause most of the area had already been evacuated.  We made it home just as it started to rain.  :)
