It's Been A While

In case you haven't noticed, it's been a while since I've posted, and it's not because I haven't had anything to write about!  The honest truth is that I'm not quite sure how to share the stories of what I am experiencing here in California this summer.  Mt. Cross is still a ridiculously wonderful place where I see God moving constantly.  I still love my cliffs and sandy shores of Santa Cruz.  I would love to write about conversations I've been having with fellow summer staff, the coffee shops and their funky art work, the tide pools I tip-toe around, and the emotions that overwhelmed my heart the other day when I sat on a set of stairs next to a sanctuary where a worship team was preparing for the morning as the new light of the day began to shine down through the windows of the church.  I still cherish campfires and precious moments when the lights click on in the mind of a camper (or staff member!).  And I know those conversations will be shared, and stories will be told.  But for this moment, I have no conversations or stories.  I have an announcement....

I CAUGHT THE FIRST WAVE OF THE SUMMER!!!!!

Tonight I had the amazing opportunity of taking a visiting youth group to the beach and got to teach them how to boogie board.  The waves were huge - which was GREAT!  And I caught my first official wave of the summer.  That means IT'S ON!
