Today I finally moved into my cabin that I'll have for the rest of the summer. In fact, I actually JUST finished moving in, and I'm sitting here on my bed now at 11:30pm, looking around the room, listening to music, and just feeling very satisfied. God is good. This week is staff orientation, then my sister gets here, and then camps start. My summer is about to officially begin. It's good. :-)

Other than that, I think God hit me up side the head with a 2x4 today. Or, as Rod would say, "God smoked me," ha. I don't even know if it was so much anything particular that was said in church, but some things just clicked for me this weekend and I felt SO convicted, and so desperately in need of Jesus. Part of it is just what I've been reading in Philippians 3 and 4 over the last 2 days. I can't even begin to describe what some of those verses have come to mean to me this weekend.

And then just today, I sat and talked with Josh Thayer this morning for an hour or so for the first time ever, and last night I talked with Dave Geroux for a good bit, and then I sat and had a good chat with Kyle Bos before church this morning, and it struck me what awesome men each of those guys are. I haven't talked with any of them for any more than a couple hours at the most, but already I look up to them, and today it just hit me how godly those guys are and where they have their priorities and how much I admire them for it, and how far I feel like I've fallen from that standard over the last semester. I've let so many other things come into my life and consume my time and my thoughts recently, and I need to get back to the source.

So that to say that I made a decision today in church that I'm going to start hanging out with some of those guys this summer. One thing I've realize recently is that I really need some strong godly men in my life. I can't say that I have any deep influences like that right now, but I want that to change. "As iron sharpens iron..." I'm excited. :-) It's time for a change.
