You never know who you influence

You never know how much you or your life can influence someone. I will never forget a face I saw when I was walking up the aisle at my grandfather's funeral. I didn't want to be in the place I was in, or at least I didn't think I was fully prepared for that yet. Later talking about it I looked back and saw that he had touched his life so much. No they didn't not talk everyday or were they best friends but something my grandfather did made an impact on him. I would describe the face of the person as... Intense and sad. I didn't think that this would effect him that much, but it showed me that you have influenced someone and you don't know it. You better make the influence good, because its hard to turn around, possible but hard. On Christmas day my grandparents would have been married for 65 years. I want my papa back here with me, I wish that I could see him, hug him, kiss him, tickle him, and tease him just one more time. He was ready to go, but I wasn't ready for him to go. There defiantly were more things I wanted to do with him. I wish he, and my granny could be here to see me graduate in May. Even though I wanted to do more with him, I wouldn't bring neither my papa or granny back here to this earth, it is FAR better up in heaven than it is down here. I am hoping that 2014 will bring good things!! I hope everyone had a happy and safe NEW YEAR!

A sad slice of life

Sitting in class taking notes and I hear my name called on the intercom to check out. I knew prior to my parents conversation at dinner the night before, that it was about my grandpa. When I saw my mom at the front waiting on me, I just knew. This morning my grandpa decided to go home with Jesus. I know he is loving the streets of gold. He is in no more pain, along with his dad and brother. Seven weeks prior to this, my grandma decided it was her time to go as well! Which was not his wife but on the other side of my family. We will never know why God puts us through things that we think are too hard to handle, which are never to hard. We have to lean on God. It is up to us to trust Him. I hope everyone who is reading this trust and believes in God. If you don't you're missing out on wonderful things that God does in your life. Proverbs  27 "Do not boast  about tomorrow,      for you do not know what a day may bring. "

Camp Hawkins 2015

   "Before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace." Galatians 1:15      I am not sure where to begin telling about my summer, and all of the great things I learned. I worked at Camp Hawkins this summer in Mount Airy, Ga and Baxley, Ga. Camp Hawkins is a summer camp for youth ages 8 to 21 with developmental disabilities. Five of the six weeks I was a counselor for the camp.    At first going into camp as a new counselor made me a little nervous. Meeting new people that I would work with for the summer, and making friendships. When a friend told me I would make friendships to last a lifetime, she wasn't kidding. Honestly, when I first got there I thought there was no way that she was telling me the truth. By the end of 7 weeks I had so many new friendships, but more importantly I had more brothers and sisters.    Each of my campers taught me something different, and all of them were very unique in t...
