I was just reminiscing about my times with TimberBay. I just went on the web site and memories flooded my mind. I can't help but get emotional. It was one of the scariest and most exciting times in my life. God had yanked me right out of pretty much every comfort zone I ever had to be apart of this amazing ministry. I remember realizing that is exactly where I wanted to be, completely out of my comfort zone. That's how I knew God was doing the work. I miss the kids, I miss Paul, the director who was like a dad to me. Wow. I remember my first night at camp. I was so terrified and nerve-wracked that I actually got sick, laying in my top bunk because I was too chicken to assert myself with the often times intimidating teenage girls. I laugh about that now. God was really using me there. And not just for the girls, but He was showing me so much. I miss it. I really do. It was a part of my life I will always cherish. It was the first time that I got off of my butt, stopped being lazy, stepped out of myself and really listened to the Lord. It was amazing.

hey jo-jo...
it's nice to think about times in the past, huh? BUT, we serve Him now...I think back to my Bible school days, and often think how passionate i was then...different times, different experiences...
It's a good reminder that our faith is based on truth and not on feeling...
I read through Psalm 19 this morning, what an awesome refreshment to my parched soul!
love you.
