Camp!
Back from camp everybody! I was kinda hoping it would be a nice vacation from life, but despite my efforts, life seemed to hunt me down even in TN. But hey, it really wasn't too bad. It was acually a pretty good week. We had alot of fun at the water park and the rope courses. The worship was absolutely amazing; it was Jeff Johnson! Now Karis and Shane saw him at a camp in Texas when they were like in middle school, and we've been listening to him ever since! He does some really good worship music. The speakers were pretty good too! But the thing that I loved the most about this week was the bus ride home. Now you must understand that because of everything that has happened in our family lately, I have just been feeling kind of numb the past couple weeks. I'm not quite sure that will make any sense to most of you. But it's just like my emotions shut down, and I feel like I've been slowly drowning. So the camp itself wasn't exactly the most growing experience this year, because I was still feeling, for lack of a better word, numb. But on the bus ride home, I sat next to Josh, the Youth Pastor. And the two of us started talking, and we talked and talked and talked. It was really neat. God really used him to help me begin the process of healing I have desired for such a long time. Yea! Also when I arrived home, I walked into a freshly painted bedroom! What a splendid surprise! Turns out that Jessie and some of the girls came over while we were at camp and painted my room light blue and brown! It looks lovely!

Hey Jenna,
Remember, when life seems to close in on you and make you feel numb, it can be a good reminder that you cant live alone... you cant make it through on your own. Allow God to have his way and carry you through the hard parts =)
Love you,
~David
I know how you feel. It's very much so how I have been feeling for the last bit. Today has been a mixed feeling kinda day. I'll be praying for you Jennalyn! Love you bunches!

Hey! I am so glad camp went well! Josh is very neat, I met him the first time I ever visited you guys in Florida (before you were attending Circle) and really thought he was neat. He had seen Shane only one time a few weeks before but saw him in the mall and immediately said "Hey Shane!" I wish he could have been my youth pastor :-). I'm glad you got to talk to him.
And congratulations on home schooling! I homeschooled for 11th grade and absolutely loved it!
