dude, not even ONE reply? this whole time? have i been forgotten already?! oh my.

well, i've had an absolutely AWESOME week! it rocked sooooo much. i love it, and i'm going to write about it more when i get the chance, but right now, i have to email some people... here's a forward...

FOURTEEN THINGS THAT IT TOOK OVER 50 YEARS TO LEARN -
by Dave Barry
1. Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
2. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."
3. There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
4. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.
5. You should not confuse your career with your life.
6. Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
7. Never lick a steak knife.
8. The most destructive force in the universe is gossip.
9. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.
10. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.
11. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is age eleven.
12. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.
13. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person. (This is very important. Pay attention. It never fails.)
14. Your friends love you anyway.
Thought for the day: Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember - a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

And no... you don't have to forward this to anyone in order for your life to take on new meaning...

oh. ok. well, good.

it was AWESOME!!!

i don't really have much time to type all the stuff i did right now, so i'm going to just put a couple little bits from a letter i wrote to my new friends from camp... i'll try to get on here and finish up with some nice details sometime soon.

bits and pieces of my letter:

"we had a safe, but really long ride home. (when we were at our "mission fields", i kept slipping and calling the dorms we were staying in "home". it was really weird. like the college campus we were staying on just felt like what a home should feel like. the people were awesome. i just thought that was interesting.) before we officially left for home, we went to charleston and walked around in the open-air market area for almost three hours. we didn't get back to the church until about 5 this afternoon.

our gospel wangstahs (the boro baptist boys) did get to perform their little vanilla ice gig (it was a remix of a remix that jim carey did of a vanilla ice song) again... twice. once before we left, in front of the chapel, and then again in the market... we met up with the raleigh group and sang a praise song, and then, when a huge audience had started crowding around, the guys just broke out in song... or a rap, rather. but it was really cool. they got our applause, but i don't think the old folks hanging around cared for it too much. after they had finished, rachel, our youth leader, told the guys that the sales-people hadn't appreciated them interupting their quiet, saturday morning bustle, and had asked us to leave. (but she had just gotten bored of shopping, and decided it was time to leave.)

so, we all started to leave. most of us got across the street, but ben had been left behind, so we had to wait for him. while he was on the other side of the road, a dude came up to him and, apparently, asked him for some money. well, being the sweet guy he is, he pulled out his wallet and started digging for money. at that moment, a police officer came up and told him to put his money away at go back inside the market, and then the police officer told the dude to go away. (ben didn't have any money in his wallet anyway... he put all of it in the missions fund... seb had to buy him lunch on the way home.)

so, after that, we drove down around the rainbow row and got some really cool footage on the video camera... and then, finally, we got to start driving back to the boro. the ride home was pretty much uneventful; i just listened to my cd player, and *attempted* to sleep. oh, and we talked a little and sang very little. and i will have you know, we were all sporadically singing, "well, there's 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 wheels on a big rig... and they're rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin, rollin, rollinnnnnah!" heh. we also sang the evens, odds, and roman numerals verses, but, uh, we still haven't quite caught on to the binary code verse. (it was a trucker song that a guy taught us at camp. see, they would try to get us all pumped up and ready to go before we left on our mission work for the day. it was really cool and tons of fun.)

here's a little bit of info about me... i rarely use the word "awesome", and when i do, it's almost always in relation to God or a "God-thing". i just wanted to let you guys know that this was an AWESOME week!"

ok, and sometime i'll be able to tell you about our jeremiah lesson, and about how much we need to get out and do something for the world... but i'll save that for another day... seeing as i went to bed at about 1 last night, got up at 6 this morning, and had been working HARD all week.

i'll talk with ya later. i'm going to bed now. i'm wiped.

philippians 3:13-14--keep pressing on!

yes, it was absolutely awesome. i just wish to God i could've stayed there for a very, very, very long time... i can't stand being at home. and i'm having a really bad day. i just got home yesterday evening, and my mom has been just terrible to be around ever since i got home. in her opinion, i rarely, if ever, do anything right. when i do do something right, there's always something wrong with it, or i didn't do it well enough, or i didn't do enough plain and simple. or i do something right and it goes completely unnoticed. and i hate talking about it because i'm assuming most people feel this way at one point or another...? i just really hate being here. and i guess that's probably the main reason i'm going to school--so i don't have to be home for the better part of the day.

the college i want to go to has some special program that allows highschoolers to begin attending the college their senior year instead of finishing highschool. i think i'll probably do that. which means i'll only have one more year here. and it's going to be a huge jump, if i do that... but i'm fairly confident that God and i will be able to handle it.

i just wish so badly that every week could be like the week i just had. and it wasn't even a mountaintop experience kind of week. it was just so plain, but so awesome. it wasn't about emotionalism. it was about reality. we worked really, really hard, had little sleep, and didn't have hardly any free time at all (it made my life here look like a vacation), but we also had worship and Bible studies daily. i really dislike yardwork, but that's what i did all week. i did it with 21 other people, and it rocked. it was such a great place. i actually got into the habit of calling the bare, unwelcoming dorms i was staying in my home.

the work that we did included cleaning the yard of a house that had been abandoned over 40 years ago. the house looked like it had had its roof blown off. it looked like there could've been an explosion inside. there were appliances thrown all over the place, the grass was knee high, there were snakes and bugs everywhere, nearly all of the windows had been shattered and there was glass all over the ground, and the house was surrounded by water (nearly half a foot deep in some places). the house sat on somewhere between a half an acre or an acre. all that was left of the house were the walls of cinder bricks, the chimney, and heaps of glass and rusted appliances. the house itself was condemned, so we weren't even allowed indoors... we just had to clean as much as we could from all around it. we worked on that house for about one and a half days. the heat index was about 105-110 degrees. we worked together, and the experience was amazing.

each day, when we got out of our "send-off celebration", and before we got into the vans, my group had a little cheer. our leader, james, would say "it's not about me! it's not about how hot it is! it's not about how tired i am! it's not about me! it's about God! it's about service! it's NOT about me!" we would repeat each phrase after him. and then we would pray together and we would live that cheer out for the rest of the day.

and i actually had people who liked me and liked being around me. people who were interested in me, what i had gone through, and how my experiences related to theirs. i actually had real, live friends. i had friends who encouraged me and were praying for me and who had gone through stuff a lot tougher than i, but were still pressing on. i met people who were very popular, but still accepted me. i met people who needed my friendship. i was a friend and a real person, not just a passing shadow.

i met people who were strong and talented and had the patience to work hard and get the job done. i met people who had little tolerance for heat, other people, and work. i met people who would do anything you asked, and then more. and i met people who wouldn't do anything unless you begged them. i was a helper and someone who accepted help.

i met people who were Christians most of their lives. i met people who could teach on any subject in the Bible. i met people who could see an object and relate it to a lesson in the Bible. i met people who had the LORD just completely filling them, and then pouring out for the whole world to see. i was a student and a disciple.

and then i also met people who had just gotten saved. i met people who weren't saved at all. i met people who were immature and annoying and obnoxious... but i found ways to encourage them, accept them, pray for them, teach them, and be their friend. i was a mentor and an encourager.

we got to work together, study together, pray together, suffer together, worship together, get out of our comfort zones together, be funny together, be serious together, learn together, have fun together, witness together, and have fellowship with one another.

it was a God-thing. it was inspiring. it was AWESOME. and now it's over and i have to live my real life again.

but what changes will i make?

that's what really matters. how will what i learned and experienced change the rest of my life? how will i let it affect the people i come in contact with? how long will i hold on to the knowledge i attained, the wisdom i received, and the influences that i was blessed with? how long will i keep diligently seeking God like i am now?

one of the things we learned at camp was the background info of jeremiah 29:11 and the surrounding verses. i think that was the lesson i learned the most from. the thing that has stuck in my mind most clearly from that lesson is the statement, "it is time we stop being jeremiah 29:11 Christians, and start being jeremiah 29:13 Christians." the idea behind that is that we need to stop just allowing God to plan our futures and bless us... we need to start seeking God with our whole hearts so that we might find Him and truly receive His blessings to the fullest extent. we just sit back and say, "yeah, God's got everything under control... why should i interfere?" while we need to be praying, "God, i'm seeking You with my whole heart. i want to know You. i want to make my life a love song for You. allow me to draw near to You. bless my efforts and allow me to glorify You."

another thing i realized, once again, was how inadequate we really are. there is no way i could have loved those people who were immature and annoying. there is no way i could have reached out to those who were dirty, both inside and out. there is no way i could have survived that week. without God, i am nothing.

did you know that 40,000 people die EVERY DAY from starvation?

did you know that 1/3 of the young girls in America are sexually abused before they are 18?

did you know that 1/2 of the world's population has never heard the gospel?

and what do we do about that? do we feel bad for a minute or two and then forget them? do we sit in youth group and talk about how sad it is between games and a snack? do we pray for them? do we actually go out and do something about it? do we even care?

what we do is sit around on our butts and pray for these people. we feel bad for them and we might even cry a little for them. but most of us don't do anything for them. most of us won't even put 5 $'s in the offering plate when they're taking up an offering for missionaries in some foreign country... or even in the next town over. we are lazy, selfish, and all too comfortable in our own little worlds.

and if we aren't able to reach people in africa or ukraine, we can still minister to people who are right in our own neighborhoods. we can visit retirement homes and shut-ins. we can play games with small children who have no parents to look up to. we can put in our time and efforts at a soup kitchen or a clothes closet. we can clean the houses or mow the lawns of the elderly who are no longer able to do it themselves, and have no one else to do it for them.

what will we do?

what will we change?

how will we make a difference?!

Ugh. Gosh that sucks. I guess that would explain the "miserable" in your signature.... Well, I'm praying for you, hun, and don't ever hesitate to IM me or whatever if you ever need someone to talk to. Love ya, girl!

Wow....

It sounds like you really had an experience. That's really awesome.

I wish I could think of something a little more profound to say than that, but unfortunately, that's the only thing coming to mind.

But anyways, that sounds really awesome. I almost wish I could have been there, but then I would have had to miss out on meeting my Jessica ().... That and the fact that I'd probably end up being one of the lazy ones you mentioned that couldn't stand the heat. I went to Islands of Adventure today, and just about died standing in line for the rides with fans blowing on me... I couldn't imagine being out in that kind of heat actually working all day.... But then again, if God really wanted me to go, I'm sure He'd give me the strength to make it through. Anyways, I should probably stop rambling now, since this is your blog and not mine. Talk to you later!

aw! thank you. well, last night, i just stopped and took the time to write down that stuff about camp, and that really helped me out a lot.

it just seems like the devil is really attacking me right now. like i had finally started becoming friends with the girls at guys at church, but today they just ignored me. and then the girl i had finally started getting to know at camp snapped at me. i had just been looking forward to finally having some friends at church, and it was just kind of discouraging.

my sister and i are really the only ones who go to this church, and we are seriously considering switching churches. not only are most of the older teens pretty unfriendly, it's really difficult to grow any. all of the lessons come from a book, and all of the classes are unruly and just basically a joke. i think it's time to move on...

yes! it was awesome. i got so attached to the place. but next year i get to go for two weeks, so it's something to look forward too...

hey, you finally got to meet her in person? cool! how'd it go? judging from the faces, i'd say it wasn't too bad...?

you're right. if you were put in that situation, the Lord would give you the strength. i hate yardwork, but it really wasn't all that bad since i was working with other people and stuff. it really was a great experience. and it was hard work, but you could actually see your accomplishments, which rocked.

thanks for writing!

talk with ya later.

Ouch.... Yeah, it sounds like it's time to leave. You're not happy there, the youth are jerks (from what it sounds like), and you're not being edified either. What denomination are you ( I'm almost sure you told me this before, but I forget now )?

It was awesome!!! Easily the best night of my life. I won't bore you with the details here, since it's your journal, not mine, but I posted about it in my blog not too far back. I posted a picture too, last night.

well, i'm really nondenominational, but the church i've been going to is baptist. the kids were a lot nicer last night... but i think i'm going to talk with the pastor's son before we leave... if we leave. he's 26 and just finished college (he was majoring in youth ministries), and i think he might understand what i'm talking about and not get offended quite as easily as the youth leader would...

It was awesome!!! Easily the best night of my life. I won't bore you with the details here, since it's your journal, not mine, but I posted about it in my blog not too far back. I posted a picture too, last night.
then i'll have to go check that out.

well... tonight was amazing. i went over to "sarah_13"'s house. we had dinner with her parents and just sat and talked for like an hour and a half. it was great! her dad's actually a pastor, and so we were talking about church and m-fuge and reaching out to the teens my sister and i are going to meet when we go to school. like i said, he's a pastor, and they just moved to this area, so he's hoping to start a church here... and i asked him if he might be interested in leading a youth Bible study that was really purposed towards helping us get a closer relationship with God and really dig into the Word. he said that he thought it was a good idea, and so we're going to be praying about it. but if God allows it to come together and happen... it's just what this area needs. i'm so excited! i was considering the option of leading a teen Bible study myself... but i really need to be taught too... so this could be a really awesome opportunity.

so that's basically what's been going on today...

i still haven't heard from ANYONE from camp.

i got the five iron frenzy cd cheeses... today! heh. it's great. very funny.

oh, and i watched the pirates of the caribbean movie sunday night. that was a good movie! man, johnny depp rocked!!! he was such a great actor, and looked absolutely wonderful in all that eyeliner junk. no, i'm not obsessing or crushing or anything, but he rocked.

more later, if i have time.

Hey Morgan,

I didn't have time to read all your stuff, but I did catch some of it, and I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you, and I hope we can get together sometime. I'd love for you to come to youth group ANY sunday night you want. Just give me a quick call, and that would be awesome.

So are you going back to school again? Same school as before? Keep me informed, I'll keep you guys in prayer

Have a great day and I'll talk to you later.

In Christ Alone,
Becca

Have you ever driven into a ditch? no. but i have hit a tree with my passenger side mirror. the good thing was that my mom had done the same thing to her mom's car just a week earlier.
What type of car do you/will you drive? my current car is a 1991 honda accord with sports package.
What state/province are you from? originally: illinois. currently: north carolina.
Is there a difference between black and charcoal? yes.
Where do you go when you need a mint espresso at 2 AM? unfortunately, most of the good places around here close up pretty early... but if it were open, i'd probably just go to joe muggs.
What's your favourite time zone? that's an interesting question. GMT+03:00 (moscow, st. petersburg.) oh, i don't know. eastern?
Regular, Premium or Supreme gas? it can take regular, but we usually use premium.
Why do you get up every morning? hm. that's a very good question. 1. to see what God has in store for that day. 2. to glorify God with it. 3. to enjoy/live through whatever God gives me.

and what about you?

hey becca, it was really cool hearing from ya!

thanks so much! i really appreciate all of the prayer i can get. and we might have to check out your youth group again sometime. it's kinda a long drive for us... but maybe we can work something out.

yes, as of right now, myriah and i will be going to croatan this year. i'm really excited, but i'm kinda worried about myri. she's taking driver's ed right now, and she had some girls making fun of her yesterday. that absolutely ticks me off. and the funny thing is, the girl who was being the worst was in my class last year, and we actually got along.

hey, thanks again! and maybe we can get together sometime. we'll figure something out.

always, morgan
