sun screen is a must

hello friends!
prince george is beautiful. I think the one thing i do appreciate about tree planting (besides the money :) ) is the beauty of creation that i am immersed in. Planting has been going well so far. As I expected, I am very sore and tired, and even if i did do some condition training before i came out here, i still think that i would be very sore. I just finished my second week of planting, which is crazy to think that three weeks have past since I first got here. I came a little early this year, I booked a flight and then the start date got pushed back. but the first week that I came out here, a group of us went to Ness Lake Bible camp to help out, which mostly consisted of hauling logs, cleaning, and tearing down outhouses (speaking of which make sure when you are using a mallet and you are winding up to swing, make sure you hit your target and not your knee....because it really hurts when you hit your knee cap with a mallet ;). back to the bible camp...so this bible camp started out really small, with canvas tents, and then more and more kids wanted to come to camp, and they have just been expanding since then, totally relying on God to provide for them...and they took that leap of faith, and God has been giving them more than what they ever dreamed of! Sometime I will but pictures on facebook.
Expectations....if you have been around me this year, I have been talking a lot about it, it's what God's been revealing to me this year. Sometimes I have the view of life like the game of life....you chose wheather or not you want to go to school, what career you want, getting married, buying a house, collecting those good deed life tiles. Our society values the future so much...it's sort of backwards. I have future goals, i don't think that it is bad, but I don't want to be boxed in by those expectations. Some scipture that I have been meditating on...(I don't actually have my bible on hand so its just coming from memory) is after Jesus was crucified, and the disciples where standing around, and Jesus came up to them. The disciples didn't recognize Him...I find it so interesting because Jesus did tell them that he would rise from the grave. also, that the disciples had seen him crucified..they were expecting Him to be dead, and the disciples lives where radically changed... Jesus calls us for so much more, and once i let go and surrender I know that God will use me to do so much more than I could ever imagine. I think that it is something that I shouldn't look forward to, but it is something that I should be living in the present for. That each day God presents something unique, an oppertunity...
The camp that I am in is full of bible school students. It's cool to walk into the weather haven (giant eating tent) and see a group of guys around the table with there bibles open. We also have bush church on hump day (half way point of the week), which is cool to see how God has brought each and everyone of us to this camp together, both unbelievers and belivers.
