We do sincerely hope you'll all enjoy the show and please remember people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there're still some things that make us all the same. You, me, them, everybody, everybody. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Blues Brothers. Oh my word. What a fantastic show. They were moving around on that stage like they'd never aged. Jim Belushi jumped out of multiple summersaults and they were constantly showing off fancy footwork. They called girls up on the stage and after much pushing from my dad and David I jumped up on stage. I'm so glad they pushed. No regrets. It's all a bit of a blur for me but there's video footage to document that wonderful moment. Getting to share that concert with my dad is something I will definitely never forget. Dad's weekend was overall wonderful (duh). I love you Dad more than you can imagine. See you in a week when we head to Hawaii :)</span>Laurel.Elisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14298195312157053992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2105131846211907830.post-4986085433837701192011-11-09T15:07:00.000-08:002011-11-09T15:14:44.032-08:00Your Great Name<div class="separator" style="clear: both;

text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our relationship with Jesus is like taking a walk.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Now I've heard this before, but many ideas were very new this weekend. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Our walk with Jesus is not about having a destination.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We should be so infatuated and in love with God that we are in love with being with him, not worried about actually getting somewhere.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Could you imagine walking with a significant other and constantly asking them,"Where are we going? How much longer? Do we turn left here? Where are we going?"</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">That's like us when we're constantly asking God questions about the destination,"Who will I marry? What should I major in? Did I ask who I'm going to marry already?" lol.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's a journey of sanctification that does not have a destination. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">You can't peak with your relationship with Christ, so don't worry or concentrate on that. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Be in love with holding his hand in a beautiful place.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">The limp. We go through things in life that cause us to wrestle with God. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We have things we don't want to give up. We have struggles that are defining and impossible to push to the side and forget about. These struggles and defining moments in our lives make up our limp. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">A constant reminder of God's grace with each step.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I am a metaphor junky so I loved delving into this idea of a walk.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I would also go as far to consider myself a romantic, so comparing the walk to a walk with a significant other made complete sense to me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's a swept away feeling.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Not caring where you're going.

But God will never allow us to stay there. The true test of our spiritual life is in exhibiting the power to descend from the mountain. If we only have the power to go up, something is wrong. It is a wonderful ting to be on the mountain with God, but a person only gets there so that he may later go down and lift up the demon-possessed people in the valley. We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life-- those are simply intended to be <b>moments of inspiration</b>. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life, and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength. Yet our spiritual selfishness always wants repeated moments on the mountain. We feel that we could talk and live like perfect angels, if we could only stay on the mountaintop. Those times of exaltation are exceptional and they have their meaning in our life with God, but we must beware to prevent our spiritual selfishness from wanting to make them the only time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">We are inclined to think that everything that happens is to be turned into useful teaching. In actual fact, it is to be turned into something even better than teaching, namely, character. The mountaintop is not meant to<i> teach</i> us anything, it is meant to<i> make</i> us something. There is a terrible trap in always asking, "What's the use of this experience?" We can never measure spiritual matters in that way. The moments on the mountaintop are rare moments, and they are meant for something in God's purpose.</span><br />

I really do. I've been so busy. But I guess that's assumed when nothing has been posted for 2 months. Get ready for a quick summer recap:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>5. Moving into The Burrow.</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><b>6. Trip to Silverwood with incredible friends.</b></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">That's a pretty good wrap up. Now let me go into a little more detail.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">1. Malibu is no short story. My previous post is a collection of all of my fellow summer staffers explanations of the impact it had on them. I love each and every one of them so much. I call/skype at least one of them every week. I miss them so dearly. God completely blessed me and taught me more than I could ever imagine while I was there. It was the real world. And now I'm back. Trying to recreate the community God intended us to live in. Not by my own strength. But with His perfect guidance :)</span><br />

Yellowstone was a photographer's heaven. And even as a photographer I don't feel as if my photos give any of it any justice [beaver]. An excellent family trip with three of my best friends. We drove down hills so hard. Loved dem rockies :D</span><br />

Creationfest. Oh man. Katie and I packed up the beast and headed to the hoppin town of Enumclaw. Driving through half a mile of pasture we finally were directed into our camping spot. First step out of the car: Toms ----> cow pie. Planking, fannypacks, and everything good filled this adventure. Switchfoot was probably my favorite. The candle lighting ceremony was incredible. Creation overall was ________(fill in any positive adjective).</span><br />

Soooooooo....it goes without saying that I miss all of you beyond belief. Loving all this talk about reunions(:! Just wanted to give a short thank you to each and every one of you for literally the best month of my life. I have grown in my relationship with God more in the past month than I have my entire life so I thank you all times a million. I feel like a completely different person ever since I've been back. I've had several people including my mom say I'm a completely changed person and asked how it happened. Living at the most beautiful place on earth, finally realizing who God is, and meeting the most incredible people of my life is my response every time. Malibu has changed my life.

I, in fact, actually miss the crap out of you all. I thank god I met each and every one of you. </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">A community where LOVE is all around<br />
A slice of Heaven has come down<br />
To a Thin Place where PEACE is found<br />
And no wars are around.<br />
As our community came together<br />
We had to set some rules ti obey<br />
So our community wouldn't falter<br />
And drama be in our way.<br />
Little sleep with longer days of work<br />
We had to dig deep to find strength & believe<br />
That we were the best we could be so<br />
The campers could have one of the best weeks of their lives<br />
And the say-so would be our special treat.<br />
Worship was one of the times we loved the most<br />
Coming together with Father, Son & Holy Ghost.<br />
Harmony, peace, love, strength & hope helped us to<br />
Share our stories of life that each of us holds.<br />
Malibu was some of the best times of all our lives<br />
And a magical place to be,<br />
A place close to all our hearts and will never be far away<br />
Because of how it was a Thin Place giving us<br />
Values on strength, love & hope.<br />
A place we came to as strangers but built up a little family in a<br />
Community where Heaven decided to visit Earth &<br />
Our faith was strengthened where the LORD is always first.<br />
Our lives were impacted in a way to make us see<br />
We are all closer to being the person we want to be &<br />
Learning life is what you make it out to be<br />
So we go on to experience the LORD and life in the new chapters<br />
Of our stories that we have yet to write!<br />
<br />
Love you all here's a poem I wrote about Malibu! Hope you enjoy! Miss and love you all bunches and bunches! LOVES Y'ALL!<br />
w/ ♥ always<br />

I believe Carlee will benefit from the Summer Staff experience by giving her some quiet time away from the business of life<br />
with like minded people. I feel it would allow her time to settle down and possibly hear from God and what His plan is for<br />
her life.<br />
<br />
This was on my reccomendation form, this is the first time I have read it and this question truly sums up exactly what I have gained from this experience. I want to thank everyone for being apart of this journey. As well as, thank God continuously for bringing you all into my life. It was a life changing experience, best month of my life! I'll never forget our time together. Miss you all so much! </span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Alright people here is the deal. I have almost thrown up everyday since I have been home because I miss all of you SO FREAKIN MUCH ITS STUPID!! I haven't been able to dance. I haven't been able to laugh at campers. I haven't been able to dig through trash. And making fun of Jacob over facebook just is not doing it. SO this is what I have decided. 1) if any of you are ever near my state you better tell me or I will probably yell a cuss word in front of a small child. 2) I am planning on traveling alot so if you have some sweet event you are doing or game you are playing in or if you just need a sick dance partner to show up everybody at the dance hall let me know. I can't go to much longer without seeing all of you so this will probably start soon. For example, mer mer has a volleyball game in Dallas the weekend before thanksgiving and I AM GOING TO IT AND WILL PROBABLY GET KICKED OUT FOR CHEERING TO LOUD so if anybody is down to accompany me that would be awesome. My incredible sister lives in Dallas and whoever comes can stay there. I haven't asked her yet but I know she will say yes. THIS. IS. NOT. BE. TAKEN. LIGHTLY. I am snapping necks and cash in checks. KEEP UP.<br />
<br />
TEXAS, OUT.<br />

Anyways, I love you guys to Bangladesh and back and I miss you very much. YOUR AWESOME. IM AWESOME. PERFECT!! Much love to all corners of the country!! God is good! Im outsies</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">First of all, Happy Friday! I hope everyone's first Thursday quit day went well. I'm hoping that we all want to make this a weekly staple. It can range from quitting facebook for the day to quitting drying one's hair(as did happen among one of our summer staffers yesterday). It is just the act that counts and doing something that brings us remembrance of the time we spent together and what we learned from Bob Goff. And practicing self-control?<br />
<br />
Secondly, I think it would be great if we could all post prayer requests and major life happenings in this forum. I know individually we will all communicate differently but just to update each other once in a while would be fantastic and much appreciated among all, I'm sure.<br />
<br />
I want you guys to know that you have changed me. When I think about the month we spent together my mind most quickly flashes to images of our bible studies, our days off, encouraging one another when we pass on Main St, eating every meal together, and living in fellowship with one another. It is unique that we have a group so bent on staying connected and realizing the depth of the friendship that resulted from our service to God and each other. I don't think I've ever been this joyful and sad at the same time. I just know that I want you all in my life forever.</span></span><br />

I miss you all so so so much. When people ask me how Malibu was the first thing I tell them is that is was unquestionably the best 3 weeks of my entire life. They ask why, and I tell them it was because of all of you. Before I went to Malibu people would ask me if I was excited to go, and I would tell them I was most excited about meeting all of you. I knew you would be incredible people. I knew God was hand picking every single one of us. I just had no idea how perfect it would be. Every moment with you guys was a blessing. A treat from God. God gave us all a glimpse of what community should be like. It was extremely difficult to say goodbye to all of you. Whoever was there saw me bawl my eyes out. They were tears of sadness of leaving, but mostly they were tears of happiness. Happiness from the blessing of being in each of your presence, learning from you, breaking down walls, and seeing what loving on people truly looks like. New brothers and sisters, thank you for everything :) </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b>- Laurel Adami</b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><b><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 14px;">“I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">It's awesome just sitting with people who all have the same goal in life.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Praying over the city. So cool.</span><br />
