I LOVE CAMP, and people like werner, ali, steph, and jones.....
if you dont like camp, dont bother reading this.
This road that we travel
May it be the straight and narrow
God give us peace and grace from you
All the day shelter with fire
Our voices we raise still higher
God give us peace and grace from you
All the day through.......
*love this song*

lol i hate that song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
so, did i ever mention that i love sarah jones? I talked to her on the phone a couple nights ago. i love her to death.
and ali german and i had a talk also. i love her. she tells me things she shouldnt just because she loves me and she thinks i should know.....I LOVE HER.
and matt werner i love you. siamese soccer would never have been the same. ha ha. :)
werner and i had an amazing talk about camp the other night. and everything we missed, like watching the stars at night, singing and having fun praising God, and how caring everyone is- like how close we are to our junior staff friends because of the strong bond we have. I am closer to some of my camp friends than i am to some of my school friends even though i hardly see the camp people and i see the school friends everday. isnt that amazing?! and we also discussed how caring the staff is- how they always know exactly what to say to make you feel better, and they can come up with any bible passage to fit your situation perfectly and they ALWAYS make you feel loved no matter who you are, and of course they have THE MOST AMAZING HUGS EVER!!! and how much our campers have taught us- even if they are "crazy hooligans" we still love them and they change our lives immensley. Where would i be without camp?
CAMP: i love the feeling of sitting at the dining hall after campfire and everyone is so close. i love that feeling. and i dont wake up grumbling because its early- i wake up refreshed and ready for a new day because i love everyone so much and camp is so amazing. and even though i have to trudge into the dinging hall for password and breakfast, i smile when i walk in to see everyone. and i love how stuff at camp isnt stupid and pointless- we have funny conversations and we do funny things. like- we made a list why matthew is lame. lol he found it....... ha ha....
and i LOVE laughing at adam igl. my favorite thing i learned at the jr. staff christmas party is that matthew calls igl- "Addie" LOL. sounds like a dog!!!!!!!!!! LOL. oh man that is hilarious. lol. and what if igl gets hired- i cant see his campers listening to him. lol..........
and i LOVE singing "a-la-la-la-la-la-la-le-lu-ia". we have way fun with that song. alaskan baseball. chrissy trying to catch. ;) ha ha. playing tetherball LOL. thats when i first met jared! :). reflections always make me feel awesome and help me get to know people. stacia- what more is there to say? HUGS. kelly schweiss makes me laugh. and who could forget borck eating flour off the floor?!?!? LOL LOL. junior staff nights off :). reflections at the lake. closing campfire- always always cry. balling buddy! relient K songs at meals- love them. (Ali- could you possibly burn me some of their cds?) the feeling of crawling into your sleeping bag at night and letting every muscle tired from playing brittish bulldog, rocker, or paul ball, rest for another 7 hours. the feeling of taking a shower. not putting on make up every morning- AND LOVING IT! campers. especially the energetic ones. lol my LIT (first year) one of my campers was blindfolded and another was leading her around in the woods, and she ran her into a tree! LOL. ha ha ha ha ha. oh man do i ever miss- light blue/dark blue with stacia! HAHAHA. listening to alex vandenberg sing- i love it! hearing shinnick's voice always amuses me! lol. crying at camp is sad but feels SO good. especially crying with steph. swimming buddies with angie! high ropes course- i love it. stacia reading Psalm 121 every night when we go to bed. playing guitar with ali german. junior staff hour off- way fun! flinging caterpillars at beth! LOL. BIG BOPPERS!! YUMMMMM..... brushing my teeth with the girls lol. shots of water. 12 to be exact. BUNCO!!! spelling the alphabet backwards with steph and borck LIT year ha ha ha. talking with ali german, actually, saying "what?!" to ali german because she talks so fast! i still love her. ha ha......singing "Oh Camp Phillip" on our way down to the waterfront for SWIMMING.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
funny story. Matt Werner didn't want to go to camp at first in like 3rd grade because he didnt wanna go swimming in the lake. Matt Werner doesn't know how to swim. And, his counselors would always try and make him go in the lake. LOL LOL can you see Werner refusing to go swimming? (Junior staff- LETS THROW HIM IN THE LAKE THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your Holy presence- Living in me
This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word- spoken to me.
And I, I, I...I'm desperate for you....
And I..........I'm lost without you....OO..OO.....
something for all you non camp peeps:
Boys are cheats and liars
they're such a big disgrace
they will tell you anything
to get to secondBaseball baseball
he thinks hes gunna score
if you let him go all the way
then you are a
Horticulture studies flowers
geologists study rocks
all he wants from you
is a place to put his
Cockroaches, beetles,
butterflies and bugs
nothing makes him happier
than a nice big pair of
Jugglers and acrobats,
a dancing bear named Chuck
the only thing he wants to do
is forget it NO SUCH LUCK!
it is good to have friends from camp and school. they are your angels. they keep you from doing things you shouldnt, and they make you do things you should. they comfort you with the Word and that is amazing. w/o you steph idk what i'd do.
i miss every one of you camp people: staff, junior staff, volunteers: KALEENA I MISS YOU! everyone. keep in contact: soccerblondie_16@hotmail.com; (414)-531-8739.
God bless you....................

Man, camp is the shizzle. Not that all of you aren't awesome, but my favorite part is seeing the effect that the Bible studies and reflections (me and Borck lead the best reflections) have on the kids. One of my campers July 11-17 (best week ever), was not from a strong Christian family. He came in with minimal biblical knowledge and seemingly a very small faith. Beth decided that I was going to lead the Bible studies for my cabin that week. It was amazing to see him open up to the gospel. It is truly beautiful to see the gospel's effect on peoples' lives. That is my favorite part.
I can't leave out Jr. Staff night off/reflections. How many funny things happen at nights off? I'll never forget the bar, the holy grail, "I'll drink to that", "I'd be an oven", oh man....good times.
I'm glad to hear that my voice amuses you.
All of you are always in my prayers.
See ya kids later.

There is so much I love about camp, its hard to pick a place to start. Part of it is that no place has a greater impact on my life than camp. Knowing that I'd be a totally different person without camp. The way you can get totally close with someone, and you've only known them a week. I love the memories, after 10 summers it still doesn't get old. I remember Beth being my counselor (three times!) and we ahd to carry her to breakfast once. That was the good old days. And junior staff training. And theme songs, and the crocodile song (especially with Steph!) and making up songs (the conditioner song and the ladybug song). My campers, especially the totally cute ones, and the ones who just need love (that matthew are convinced are the devils). I love them all. And feeling like you're amazingly close to God, and that nothing else in the world really matters but these people, at these times, and God's amazing love. Reflections by the lake had to have been one of the coolest times ever, although Stacia was so great. And teeth brushing with you and Steph, and bawling buddies. Oh I have a funny story. I used to hate archery. See, I used to hate to do stuff I wasn't the best at. So I hated archery because i was so tiny when I was younger I didn't have the strength to pull back the bow. And archery used to be in the old field, adn there was just the box, but they were always afraid that the box would fall on campers so you couldn't sit underneath it. However, once I didn't want to do archery so badly that I went to the cave during snack and told her I had a headache. She gave me an ice pack, and then I went to archery with my cabin and got to sit underneath the box. Haha, I felt so bad though after, I told my counselor (I was like crying I had lied) and she was like "It's ok, God forgave you" and I was totally convinced that GOd would not forgive me for lying to get out of archery. That sort of reminded me Werner hating swimming.
But most of all, I just love you guys, and campers, and camp in general.
Always in my prayers,
<3
Chrissy
