Raw, Real, Fresh

Well, I decided to make a specific blog for my summer at Glacier National Park in Montana. Honestly, mostly just to keep track in my own head and remember things; because we all know how my memory is. And I really do want to remember. I don't want to miss one thing that God does this summer and look back on all of His work. He's always working, and we so often miss it. Already He has been doing HUGE things inside my mind/heart in preparation for going. I started off not really thinking that this is where I would end up, and just applying for the heck of it. Days later I found out I was accepted, a few days after that..talked to family and they were completely supportive, then found out I was hired as a Front Desk Associate at Many Glacier Hotel! For anyone that may be reading this, I'm going with a group called A Christian Ministry In the National Parks (ACMNP). Basically they have a set-up in many of the national parks through out the U.S. to reach out towards isolated campers/visitors of these areas where it's very hard to connect with others. These places are very remote and often people are going there to either run away/to something. I am praying more than anything that God invades many hearts this summer and forever at these places, that these people have no clue what they're in for just like i didn't when He overcame my heart and life. They don't know how badly they need Him, just like I didnt and still don't.

You guys, I can't even begin to describe in words that a little online blog can contain what our Father has been doing lately. He has been WRECKING me with His love...i don't even know if that makes sense. But He has been extracting some sickly dark and deep stuff within me, stuff that was eating me alive. And because of how much He loves me (which I'll never understand, when time after time I turn my back on Him) He has been FREEING me..I feel more alive than I have probably my entire life. Lies and sin under which I chose to let control my life He has released. Not that i won't continue to struggle..because i will...but I know for a fact that He is always right here with me, letting me experience true life.

No clue what this summer holds, all i am expecting is to be drawn closer and closer to His heart. And He is faithful. This is gonna be good. This is life. Real Life. Freedom :)
