This past week I went and scouted a kayak route on the Clackamas river, took a youth group rafting on the lower Deschutes, led a low ropes course, and in my spare time I hung out with friends and jumped off a 35 ft. waterfall!
Here are a few things I've learned so far this summer:
1) not to depend on other people to fill me up, but to be filled by God.
2) sometimes you just have to do things you don't want to do (thanks Matt for teaching me that)
3) not to worry about anything.....Philippians 4:6-7
4) I have a lot of pride.
5) I've grown up in a very sheltered home (which isn't a bad thing :)
6) I don't have much confidence in myself.
7) I'm a sensitive person (I'm not the only who learned that, and he learned it the hard way....)
8) I LOVE going on adventures!
9) good communication is always important.
10) being stretched out of my comfort zone isn't easy, but it's always worth it.
11) I never want to stop learning and growing.
12) words of affirmation is my love language.
13) I have so much more to learn and experience.
14) I'm a selfish person.
15) I'm scared of lots of things.
16) sleeping under the stars is one of my favorite things in the world.
17) I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
18) Oregon is the most beautiful place I've ever been.
19) working hard makes me feel good.
20) laughter is is of my favorite things.
21) a cheerful heart is good medicine.
It's so good to be home for the weekend and see my family, but I miss the rest of my team a lot! They are amazing people and they are fun to work with.
Thanks so much to everyone who has been praying for me, it really means a lot to me!
