Happy things

So a happy picture post from the summer.

These are the girls at Lipscomb's IMPACT. The girl on my left was the intern last summer. And, yes, my shoulder is already injured in this pic.


Happy fourth of July from Sunshine Point (the Church lake)


The girls and Me after a work-out double-header of Salsa and Barbie Aerobics.


Me in the Bahamas! With Bevin and Shareffa, girls i worked with at the Grand Bahama Children's home.

Siesta

I am tired. Worn out. My summer in Tuscaloosa is almost over (exactly 11 days left), and i hope i can make it through. My patience is wearing thin, my temper is short, the bags under my eyes are large and pronounced, and my appetite is deminished in the summer heat. I have always spent my summers running with the youth group, but it is different when you plan for the youth group. i am frustrated with the attitude of my teens. Very few people actually have a desire to know God. Most are made to come by their parents. They come hang out, wear inappropriate clothing, text message other people, gripe, complain, bring down moral, and mock me. I know i am suposed to love these kids more, but i am having trouble. I want to shake them, and ask them to stop coming with those attitudes. pray for me these last 11 days.
