Jun. 3, 2006 - BIG STUF!!!
I leave Monday morning for my first camp of the summer. I am soooooo excited!! I cant wait!! I am going to Big Stuf...this will be my 5th time going. Its only a week long...but its sooo mcuh fun!! about 130 high schoolers from my church are going to hang out on the beach in Fl wiht about 1500 other highschoolers. We have sessions were we learn more about God and are challenged by the best speakers ever! We get to hang out with our friends...and met new peoples. I am soooo ready for it. Its realyl what i need right now. You can check some of it on their website www.bigstuf.org its cool stuff.
Lets see last monday I went to Callaway Gardens. I took my friend Karen with me. We had alot of fun hanging out on the beach thing and just messin around. A little while before we left karen and I got out of the lake and laid down on the towels...and I was just talking to her...asking her questions...well I asked her if she had a boyfriend...she said no cause her and her boyfriend had just broken up and stuff...but that had been a little while. so...i asked her if she liked anyone....well she said no....i guess i said somehting and she asked me what i meant by it...so i explained it...and after i was done...yo uknow what she said to me?? she told me she did like someone. lol...i laughed...it was funyn that sh esaid no and then when i told her i had kind of been dealing alot with things liek that from different people she changed her answer....and i was thinking...you know how many people do that to me?? how many tell me one thing but dont really mean it? I know thats happened more then once....it kind of bugs me too...but i cant change the way people are..so yeah.
OH! mondya mornign before we left for callaway...we went to Go Cart world to help out loading trucks to take to MS for Katrina poeple...and like this WHOLE warehouse was FULL of things! and they have already had lots of trucks go...but there was stil lalot of stuff. so we loaded up these trucks and we were done i na few hours. we had most everything packed up and ready to go by 11:30. it was neat. there were about 20 of us that showed u pto help. Most of them were from my church. But it was still neat.
thursday i had a party. it was fun. we laughed...ALOT! at one point we startede talking about our youth group again....and like things in it are stil lbuging us. like our grou phas cliques. and like its not just the highschoolers...its the interns and the leaders and i just dont think thast right. the kids are supposed to learn from the adults and if the adults have cliques, they are talking to the kids, and they dont talk to anyone who isnt in their cliques..then how are w supposed to learn. Its really getting on my nerves! I dont knwo what to do! I only hope that this year at big stuf me and melanie get put in a room with kids our own ages or at least our friends. Last year we were put in a room wit h3 freshman....who were all cheerleaders...and all stuck up..and it was really bad. And i hope that i dont get in a room with people liek that again. well see. Ive been praying about it and i am willing for whatever happens cause i know its Gods plan but still...i dont want to be in a roo mwith poeple like that.
well i need to go ive got things to do before church tomorrow. and then ive got to pack tomorrow...so i wont be on again unitl after big stuf. soo ill talk to you all later!
love,
Mindy

Hope you have lots of fun at camp!!! And I'll add you to my prayer list about your youth group....I actually don't even go to youth group b/c it's extremely shallow and half the time they talk and gossip (leaders included) instead of doing the Bible study. But anyway, I'll being praying that God will give you wisdom to know how to handle all of it.
Love,
Briana
