Decisions, Decisions...

I'm still sick :-( which means I can't go biking with fun people today. Sad for me. However, since I am home, I am going to use my time wisely and finally write my support letter for Ukraine. I have been thinking a lot lately about summer trips. Originally, I had decided that I was going to go on every youth trip this summer because it is my last summer in the youth group. But I was thinking about it the other day and I was disappointed because I just recently found out that I wasn't going to be able to go to Camp Charis, which was a sad thing for me because it was going to be the first year that I can be a counselor, and I really wanted to do it. But, the only week I had available to go to Camp was the week that I have to go to FSU orientation. The more I thought about it the more I realized that I don't really need to go on the New Orleans mission trip. I had really felt called to work at Camp Charis and the only reason that I had considered going to New Orleans was because of my "go on every trip" thing. I still need to do some more praying about this, but I've been seeing more and more reasons to do this. Since I will already have a large financial commitment with the Ukraine trip, the bike trip, and Student Life Camp, it would make a lot more since to go to Camp Charis for free rather than going to New Orleans and paying for it. Plus, if I have really felt God calling me to work at Camp Charis as much as I've said that I have, I need to be willing to do anything to do that, even if it means giving up something (like another youth trip). If ya'll could please be praying for me as I make these decisions and if you would like to make a financial contribution for my trip to Radooga in Ukraine, please e-mail me at JennaBean18@comcast.net and I will give you more information. Thanks everyone.

Hey, it is hard to make those decisions. I have been dealing with that a lot this year. I finally realized that I just cannot do everything. It is hard, but whatever you do if it is in God;s will will be soooo much better than if we just went on every trip... IF you know what I mean. If you really feel like God wants you at camp you should do that. But, if not dont' do it just because you feel like you should or you jsut want to. I like Calyns idea of just pick a door and move twards that and if it isn't the rigth one then it will be locked when you get there. Don't just wait around till you hear God. He will let you know if you are making the wrong choice! I hope I don't sound preachy. This is something I need to be reminded of A LOT! Esspecially right now!I will be praying for you! I can say though that I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to be co-staff with you at camp this summer! Just to let you know though we need a limited number of staff this year, because it is smaller so you should decided soon if you wanna get in!!!!!!! I love you lots.. Shannon
