Letters from Home

Taking a break from working on bible study material for this super awesome summer (!), I thought I'd let you in on some cool stuff if you wanted to be a part of the summer, too.  Here are my locations and mailing addresses if you would like to send some sweet words of encouragement, prayer requests, praises, or cookies for 40 people ;).  Seriously, I would love to hear from you, no matter what you have to say!

Thank you so much for praying for me and keeping up with this crazy adventure.  It means to much to me and there is no way that I would be able to take on such a huge responsibility like this.  I know that God is going to do huge things this summer that I cannot even imagine right now.  I am more than excited but plenty nervous.  Thanks for keeping me in your prayers as I prepare for camp and all that this summer will bring.  Keep checking back throughout the summer to see lots of photos and details straight from camp (I hope!).

...And I Won't Turn Back

NEEDTOBREATHE - "Won't Turn Back" 

2009 Atlantic Recording Corporation

Just over TWO WEEKS until I leave for a full summer at CentriKid?  Seriously?  That's crazy!  That's insane!  I can't believe I'm really doing this!  But I am, and it's probably the best thing that is about to happen to me.  I cannot wait to see how much not only the kids and adults will prosper from a Christ-driven week at camp, but how much I will grow by having the privilege to minister to them.  

If you haven't heard (I don't know how that's possible), the theme for this year at CentriKid is "Shipwreck Island," and it's where God provides!  So I thought it would only be appropriate for the theme of the blog to be "pirate" for now.  If you're part of the FUGE family, you know that every bible study team get's their own name and wears it proudly, along with their team color.  One of the most exciting things so far that has made the whole process seem even more real to me is getting my team colors and picking out our names for the summer.  This summer, I am going to be the fearless leader of the RED SWASHBUCKLERS, who will be taking the seas by storm while learning how God calls, forgives, and provides for us.  We're going to talk about Paul, memorize scriptures, drink plenty of water at rec, and focus on missions.  Although there may be some rough waters along the way, there's no doubt in my mind that God is going to do major construction on our hearts by the end of the week.  It's the main reason why I love love love LifeWay camps and I am so honored to finally get to serve for them.  This summer is going to be such an adventure and I can't wait to share it with the coolest 6th graders at camp.  We're Swashbucklers, and we won't turn back.

"Faithful like a soldier
Who's answered to the call
Even when his back's against the wall

So tell me why I should run for cover 

At the sound of the coming thunder 

All I hear is the cry of my lover 

Yeah take your shot 

I won't turn back"

Don't Worry, I Do This All the Time

Yes, yes I have changed my blog (again).  You do not understand how crazy it drives me to not have a totally cute and creative name for the blog.  It's not like this one is great either, but for now, it will suffice ;).  If you don't get it, it's inspired by the "Unsinkable Molly Brown," who was made famous by her heroic efforts during the sinking of the Titanic.  I picked this title because, obviously, my name is Molly.  But when I researched her more, I found that we had a lot more in common.  We were both born and raised in a Mississippi River town, enjoy involvement in church and charity efforts, value education, have huge dreams, and didn't meet anyone like Leonardo DiCaprio in real life.  And like "Molly" (Margaret) Brown, I like to think of myself as "unsinkable."  Even on the most influential and surely the craziest night of her life, she was determined to help others, gathering blankets, supplies, and $10,000 in donations while aboard the Carpathia, the rescue ship for survivors of the Titanic sinking.  I would love to be able to have that much courage to totally abandon myself for the needs of others.  If she's anything like the movie (I know, I know), then I would be honored to be even half the strong woman she was.

But enough with the history lesson.  Thanks so much for coming by and checking out my once again new blog.  Sorry for switching so much!  I'll be picking right up from the past blogs, so if you would like to read them, click here.  Don't worry, you won't be too lost if you don't read those ;).

love

PS - I'm trying my hardest to not sound like I'm writing a blog for writing class.  If you get this, leave me a comment in blog response format.  You know who you are ;).
