where i am, there He is
I am horrible at being consistent with my relationship with God. Over the past few weeks this has been pulling at my heart strings. It amazes me that no matter how much I push God away He never leaves me. Even when I don't acknowledge His presence He is there, close, loving and being the only consistent in my life. All that to say He doesn't give up and me and I'm trying.

A little Thanksgiving update
I haven't been updating like I have wanted but I figure now is a good time. I have been off of work for 6 days now and it was absolutely amazing. I got to spend Thanksgiving with Jaymie!!! It was a lot of fun to show her around camp and put her to work for a few days. She was here for 8 days and it went by way to fast. We did a little sight seeing and even went and got massages. I figured I could spend the extra for it since I wasn't going to see her at Christmas.
We spent Wednesday night and Thanksgiving day with, my friend and former YL intern, Matt Benson's family. They were really laid back and we had a good time. Some of his family is living in Dallas Ga. so at leasat we weren't the only southerners there. I also got to Skype with my family for a half an hour or so that night and it was really good to "see" everyone. I didn't realize how much I miss home until I missed my first holiday. It's hard being so far away but I know it will be worth it in the long run. It's always worth it when you follow God.
So me and Jaymie did Guest Services on Saturday and House Keeping on Sunday and Monday. Monday we also got to have a staff Thanksgiving lunch here at camp and man was it good. I told Kevin we should do that once a month (I get tired of taco meat). Tuesday we basically piddled around because I like to sleep in. Poor Jaymie had to entertain herself every morning until I got up around lunch time. Through out the week I took her up to the mountain where we ski, ate dinner at the BarBQue place here, went up to Grand Lake, went to the Rocky Mountain National Forest (it was closed), ate dinner at a 6 lane bowling alley, took lots of pictures and basically just had a blast. It was so good to have her here. I can't wait until she comes to visit again... and anyone else for that matter.
So being that it's Thanksgiving time maybe I'll make a list of things i'm Thankful for.
- Serving a God who loves me unconditionally
- Having a loving girl friend who was willing to put up with me for a week instead of being with her family
- All the support I have from back home
- Technology so that I am able to see my family even though I can't be with them
- A fun group of believers to live and grow with here at camp
- The Dawgs beat Tech and our year wasnt' a complete wash
- The big care package from Granny with all that food in it
There are many more but I'll leave it at that. I love you all and miss you so much. Hope your Thanksgiving was as wonderful as mine was.
