Campanigans 6!

Well guys I must say that right now I am just totally exhausted and ready to go to bed but here I am once again writing my little campanigans. It's interesting to see just how much God works in and through situations and even on a pretty normal day like today, there is a lot to think about and a lot to talk about. It is also amazing to me, that I have been here a week tomorrow. Wow I have know these people a week and we have already seriously bonded. I am so excited! But anyway, here goes...

This morning we woke up and had breakfast and devotional time as usual. After that we got to go and work on our Bible study rooms and while mine is not the most decorated I think it looks pretty good. However, in the midst of creating my sheet for students to sign when they leave, I made a pretty big mistake. I got a bed sheet for students to sign and my intention was for it to say Union Fuge 09' and then Revolution, which is my Bible study name. However when I began to trace the outline I wrote Uoion instead of Union. I was so upset because here was my sheet with the wrong word on it in big blue marker. I sat and stared wondering what I could do and finally came up with an idea. I went down the hall and grabbed a friend Chelsea who is an art major. I explained the situation to Chelsea and I asked her if there was a way to draw a globe over this in such a way as to cover up the mistake. Chelsea in all of her amazingness fixed my mistake and my sheet is now AWESOME.

We ran through what registration will look like tonight and I must say that I am stinking pumped for camp. I am going to be playing games and getting to knw the students as they wait to go to the Track Time Show or as they wait for their Youth Pastors. Basically, this means that I get to get paid to be energetic and hang out with kids. I want to say right now PTL (praise the lord in Fuge language) because my ankle is feeling great. Today I actually walked around with no brace or anything. I am still going to have to keep up the strengthening and range of motion exercises, but it's getting there.

Also, today I got to share a little bit of my story with the team in my little share and prayer time. It was cool to look back at different situations and realize how much they impacted me in the past. As most of you would probably guess my share time went a little long because I like to talk just a little bit too much. However, when I was talking about going to Liberty I realized just how different my plans were Freshman year then what God had and than where I am at now. I went in wanting to play football, study history, and eventually teach and coach. However, now I love student leaership, I am studying youth ministry, and I want to be able to impact a generation of students for Christ.

Tonight we had a man night and we thought a lot about what we wanted to do but I was very pleased with our decision. We broke the guys up into groups. A group of five, which included me, went into out staff office and began making cards for all of the girls on the staff. The other 6 guys went to Walmart and got flowers, cookies, little Dove chocolates, princess plates, and tea candles and we put it all together as a gift to our amazing staff girls. It was so cool to see the girls come down after they got back and they hugged us and told us they loved us and it's neat to see just how close our team is already, and the summer hasn't even really started yet!

I am now going to wrap up this blog because I feel it is subpar. There might not be a blog tomorrow but it will just depend on what I am doing. Tomorrow we have a day off and the first thing on my priority list is SLEEP! Anyway, depending on how eventful the day is will decide whether or not it is worthy of a campanigans blog. Thank you for reading and I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.

No Limits,
Jason
