Unpacking.

So today began the daunting task of unpacking.

Unpacking my stanky clothes.

Unpacking all my sweet letters.

Unpacking all my clean clothes.

(and of course I washed them anyway because they smelled like kamp....yuck.)

Unpacking my mind.

Unpacking my summer.

What a summer this has been.

I would just like to share a few things I've learned of the past few months:

1. I learned how to introduce myself. 

What's Up Im outgoing! 

BOOM.

2. I learned how to depend on the Lord for all my needs...even small stuff.

In Wales, He was all I could depend on.

3. I learned my need to continually make myself uncomfortable for the sake of the Lord.

I was pushed so far outside my comfort zone this summer, I didn't even remember what comfort was.

That was the most difficult thing, but the absolute BEST.

I need it. 

Gotta stay uncomfy.

4. I learned how to play basketball.

Yes, I am now a BALLER.

5. I learned the difference between loving the Lord with my words and loving Him with my life.

I can't just say I love Him and expect that to be enough.

I have to prove it by EVERYTHING I do.

6. I learned how to write a mean letter!

Letters are fun y'all.

Give em a try.

7. I learned how important it is to be real with people.

Let the Lord handle your "reputation" or how people perceive you and just be honest with people. 

It works out better than you would expect. 

8. I learned that I am thought of as "an encouraging person."

Honestly, I don't know if I believed I could be that. 

My past doesn't boast of my ability to uplift and encourage. 

But I praise the Lord because He has changed me.

9. I learned how to wakeskate. 

WHAT UP.

10. I learned that I am not who I was. 

I am made new. 

He has taken this heart of stone and He's given me a heart of flesh.

(shout out to Miss. Kyle Bisese)

Praise the Lord because He has made me new. 

So these are just a few of the things I've learned this summer.

Trust me there's plenty more...

but I like to keep the posts on the "shorter" side...

give the people what they want!

However, if you want to hear more just holla atcha girl.

We can get an Icee. 

A coke Icee. 

Duh.
