fresh air.

fresh air is all i had the past week! tahoe. its a beautiful place. especially that 6-7 hour hike was great..even though me and my sister were both sick! one thing that happened one of the past nights in tahoe was me and my sister having a serious conversation..not about politics or the weather..no..about god..it really surprised me we got onto that topic! asking me why i believed and me being sure of my answer made me so happy. i wasn't sure why she kept asking me that..maybe ill never know..but i do know that having discussions about god made me stronger..talking about why we twist what the bible says..that made me read my bible more..i really enjoy having my own god time during the time. it makes me stronger! looking up at the stars one night, there were maybe two in sight..i prayed to god, to just show me a glimpse of his love by filling the sky that night for even one minute with stars..after a half hour i head to the bathroom..when i came back to my tent, i looked up one last time, and there was a full sky of stars...so i go in the tent and get changed..when i went back out..the stars were gone..i really felt like god wanted to show me his presence that night..i felt god so much this past week..my bible was always in my backpack ready to read when i felt i needed reasurrance..it came in handy a lot.i brought it out one night with my sister..she asked me why i had it..i said to share a passage with her..i shared a verse that meant alot to me..then she told me her favorite verse was the one about love is patient love is kind..the night went on with conversations about camp..and how great it is that i still go. she told me to open up to others and not be afraid to..def hard! i really am glad god is bringing me through all this..
going into school, i am scared/excited/happy/angry/lost. i know that my emotions will keep changing..im ready to take this year on even though i will face many struggles..
