Well, the summer is coming to an end and I have mixed feelings about it all. I just got back from "Lifecamp 2006" yesterday, and today I have just relaxed. The camp went very well. Our speaker was a guy named Blu, and he did a pretty good job. Outside of Camp Buckner, I had never been to a children's camp before, so I figured the sermons would be pretty watered down. Our theme was Joshua 1:9, which says "Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." I think I have looked at parts of my walk as basic things, when in all actuality they are very important! He compared God to being the captain of our lives, and that we need to talk to our captain so we know what's going on. He said that you can read your bible, and go to church, etc, but we HAVE to talk to our Captain. I have been journaling for quite a while now, but I have found that audibly talking to Him is so much better for my spirit. Don't get me wrong, I still journal, but there is something sweet about just 'talking' to Him.
The girls loved camp. They really listened when Blu talked, so I hope that something hit them when he preached. I had the opportunity to pray with one of my girls, and I really enjoyed it because when we were done she began to tell me that she knows God has been calling her away from the sin in her life and towards Him. It made everything all worth it. I was pretty drained when I got home. I never thought I'd hear "Miss Krista" so many times in a role, but it was also fun being there for them. For them to be able to turn to me was a great feeling.
Being in the position I am in really makes me want to be a better disciple. I have been so convicted of that. When I tell these girls more about reading their Bible everyday, and prayer life, and being a good Christian, it allows me to reexamine my own life. I am so thankful for that. I am praying to become closer to my God. Nothing else in this world matters, and I am constantly learning that. He is my rock and my salvation, I will only turn to Him.
I hope you are all enjoying the summer. Please e-mail or call me and update me on your lives as well! I look forward to hearing about it. :)
Love y'all!

Dots and Stars don't matter here
Have you read 'You Are Special' by Max Lucado?
...I read it today for Backyard Bible Club in my class, and it was a hit! The kids really understood the message, and I even had a 4 year old say, "Jesus made us!". It was just one of the coolest things because these kids are getting it.
God is so good.

At the tip of my fingers...
So, I had gone to the library this morning, hoping to check out some books. 3 books I had in my hand, either because I hadn't read them completely, or I had them reccomended to me:
The Attributes of God: A Journey into a Father's Heart, by A.W. Tozer
The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul
and The Secret Message of Jesus : Uncovering the Truth that Could Change Everything by Brian McLaren
It was such a letdown when I got to the check-out counter and the librarian told me I needed my I.D. card. :( My card is in San Antonio.
Basically, I was upset.. I really wnted to read some good books...
Anyone read these books before?

Oh, wonderful :)
So things are going good with children's ministry right now. Our backyard bible club went really well. We had 3 kids show up from the apartments, and 5 of our normal faces. They were all so great! They were so into bible study, and arts and crafts. They conversed with eachother like they knew eachother their whole lives. It was neat to see kids do that. We go to the zoo in Waco on Tuesday, and Thursday is the backyard bible club again. I'm excited!
It is hard for me to believe that I only have a few more weeks here and then school starts up again. It's funny because I can't really say that I want to move in and all. I mean, it will be exciting to be living in our apartment, but I am enjoying this summer so much. I miss the atmosphere with all my friends around, but I love having what feels like a real job and having fun doing it. One thing I love about being on church staff is that while we do work, we also have fun, consider eachother's feelings, keep up with eachother's lives, and seek authenticity. I'm enjoying that. You know how you can feel one way, and try to cover it up? Yeah, that is not easy to do now, and I am sooo thankful for it. The people I work with really care, pastor, ministers, interns, secretary, they all care. And I care for them as well. I don't believe that them being ministers, and on the church staff, gives reason for this authentic atmosphere. I believe it is because each one is seeking God and seeking to engage in other's lives. Now, I'm not trying to say it's perfect, but it is that seeking for Him in our lives that makes it so joyful.
I am learning and growing, and I am enjoying it.
I hope you are all doing great!!
God Bless

Good news :)
Yay for my dad having a 4 day pass!
Today I picked my dad up at Ft. Hood and it was so nice to see him! We drove back to San Antonio along with one of his soldiers. Ask me about a prayer that is being answered, and we'll talk. I'm so excited for my dad to just relax and take a breather these next couple days. It is so good to see him and my mom together!
Just thought I'd update while I could.
Quick updates:
VBS week is over- crazy! It was fun, hectic, hard, and rewarding all at the same time. I loved it!
Backyard Bible Club starts Thursday! Please pray that this goes well! I am the coordinator, which is a huge responsibility!
School starts in a month 1/2. I don't really want it to... I'm enjoying my job right now!
I hope y'all are doing great!

Super Babysitter
So, Nathan, the adorable 3 year old I babysit, apparently thinks I am Miss Super Babysitter. His mom and I were talking tonight, and she told me of a conversation they had during their Louisiana trip this week.
Nathan: Can we go see Miss Amy and her baby?
Mommy Rachel: No, Miss Amy is working right now.
Nathan: Oh... is Miss Krista watching him?
Mommy Rachel: No Nathan, Miss Krista only watches you and Anna!
Oh, the way kids look at you. In Nathan's eyes, I take care of all the babies. How cute!

Only Hope
Oh how seet, to have rest and hope in Him. The words to this song are beautiful.
"Only Hope"
[Written by Switchfoot]
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Trust in the Lord
I understand that God teaches me something through every trial. That He is constantly pruning me so that I will bear more fruit. (John 15) I re-read that passage today and it was kinf of reassuring that whatever I'm going through right now is going to help me more than harm me, because God is for me.
"I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
Oh what a wonderful Comforter I have. He is building my faith to be stronger. And I need that. I am thankful for the friend He gave me to talk to today, for the people in my life that care about me when I am attacked. I am thankful for the smiling faces of the little kids I love to be around.
After work today, I went to Ian's little league game and sat with Christie for a while. We were just watching the game, and I turned around to help Rachel find her ladybug, when all of a sudden I hear a unusual spitting noise coming from Christie, and then all of a sudden, I feel cold water all over the left side of my face. Now, if you know me, you know that I thought this was very disgusting. But how could I tell Christie this when she was already embarrased enough? Well, we had a good laugh about it.
Anyways, I hope you are all doing good. Also, thanks for reading my previous entry and being so understanding. I love you all!

Oh, gee.
These past couple days for me have been rough. I won't let you know it if I'm talking to you, but for some reason, I'm an open book right now. Isn't it funny how I would feel awkward saying anything but "Good" when you ask me "How are you?".
I think I am just being attacked right now. I haven't been feeling like myself at all. I feel like nothing in my life is going right, and I am feeling dissatisfied with myself. And then it's like my emotions are a light that can just be turned off and on. In front of people, I a very good at turning them off. In fact, I am very good at ignoring the fact that there's even a light to turn on. For some reason though, something inside me desperately wants to turn that light on and place everything out for everyone to see. No more hiding.
I don't know if it has been the empty conversations that I have had with my parents, or if it has been the constant thought that I am not good at anything I attempt- my job, my friendships. Yes, I know this is a lie, and yet while knowing these are all lies, part of me still believs it, and I hate that.
We are doing that study on the book Captivating, and while I really don't agree with a lot of what that book has to say, the discussions that we had on it tonight just really hit me. I cried, but didn't say anything. How could I say anything when I have been ignoring it for it's whole existence? I've noticed that I have been doing this with a lot of the discomforts in my life. I know they are there, and I ignore them, thinking that if I don't acknowledge them, they will somehow vanish. Really, all I am doing is hurting myself. I am hardening my heart, and not bringing these things to the Lord.
I have lost something in myself, and it hurts. It feels like I can't turn to anyone, even if they had their arms opened right in front of me. My heart has been trained to keep it all in and can't even recognize a shoulder to lean on when it is there. I feel as if a friend is standing there trying to help me, and I am too weak to even reach out for their help.
Please pray for me. There are just a lot of things that have led to confusion, hurt, and sadness- and I don't know what to do.

Who knew?
So, between my last post and now, many things have changed in my life. They may not be significant to you, but they are to me, so I will blog about them :)
Ever since I've moved to Belton, I started my internship and it has been a blast. I've gotten to know the kids a lot more, and I've been planning many events for them. It has been so fun! We are doing so many thing this summer.. including a ZOO trip! I am very excited about that one ;)
I have also taken up running again. I've been running one mile almost every morning at 7:00. Who knew I could get up that early, much less to go running?! It has really been fun though. The neighborhood is just so peaceful and breezy, it makes me want to run. I hope I can keep that habit throughout the year, because it's a good one to have!
I have had a blast so far. Yesterday I came home for my mom's birthday and I'm about to drive back to Belton. Today is my day off, so I am not very worried about getting there on time.
Thursday is Rachel's birthday party and we all get to dress up and go out. I got this really cute dress, I feel like I live in the 50s or 60s- it's very cute. I will have to take pictures of all of us.
It's hard for me to believe that it's summer. During the school year, it felt as if school would never end. Luckily, it did. I was getting worn out after a while! Auguest 7th I'll come back to SA and on the 16th I will move into our APARTMENT!! Complete with our own washer and dryer and a dishwasher. That will make life a little easier!! I'm so excited. I already have my comforter set for the next year :)
I know you want to see a picture, too ;)
I'm going to place the orange one as the comforter, with the patterned one folded in a rectangle at the bottom. If you're my roommate, you'll understand :)
This one is actually bright orange, not green. :)
Okay, that is all I have to say for now! Everyone have a good week!
Love,
Krista

What is in a name?
So I was curious and I looked up the meaning of my name on babynames.com
Krista means Christ Bearer and Michelle means Who is like God?. I think I have a pretty awesome name. I really like my name because it presents a challenge to myself. Christ bearer, to me, meaning I support Christ, I am for Christ. And then Michelle presents the question "Who is like God?". That is a challenge, a challenge for me to strive to be more of a light in the world. It makes me want to get to know Him even more. I support Christ, and I want to be like Him.
Krista Michelle :)

Temporary Hiatus
So I've decided I want to spend less time on the CPU for a couple weeks, maybe longer. I will only be checking e-mails and stuff, and occasionaly writing in my blog. I will not be on and form of instant messenger. You can definitely call me though, because I appreciate those much more than e-mails and computer messages. I will post on here every now and then to keep everyone updated.
Love you all!

Oh, sigh..
I told myself I wasn't going to get online tonight, but here I am.
I simply want to ask for a prayer request. It goes along with my last. My dad leaves on Monday, and we are not taking it in the best way. It is really, very hard. It gets harder every time.
Please pray for me. I am going to need strength in all of this, dealing with the circumstances and my constant frustrations with the Army. I need to understand the picture consistently. I need to stop wondering what God is doing and just go with it.
...I really want to stop being sad.
You don't need to give advice. I just need a prayer and a hug or two.

I'm a bridesmaid :)
This Friday, my good friend, Lauren Bellamy, will become Lauren Bohannon. I am so excited to attend the first wedding of our circle of friends. I can't wait!
Thursday is the rehearsal dinner and then we will all spend the night in a hotel together (the bridesmaids). I can't wait because this is such an incredible, memorable time for Lauren, and I'm so glad to be a part of it.
I love you girls!
(all of the bridesmaids, minus Ashley, whom I've yet to meet!)

Why is there an S in "Lisp"?
So, my mom came to pick me up from Belton today and I am now in San Antonio! I promise you, it was a very hard semester for a number of reasons, and it is so good to say it is over! I think it's a good thing that my GPA is the same exact way it was before I started this semester. As long as I don't go below it, I'll be fine! A huge accomplishemnt from this semester- I finished my minor in Religion! That is encouraging-It is possible!
So after our drive down here, I had an orthodontist appointment, and I am now Kritha Quinn, girl with the lithp (otherwise known as girl with the lisp). I've already been made fun of by my parents (all in love, of course :) ) and I have even made fun of myself. I think it's funny, but I still hope it will go away soon.
I watched Pride & Prejudice for the 3rd time today. So good, so good.

Prayer, please?
Can I ask those of you who read this to pray for me, please? I have been sooo distracted this week. It's funny that I think this is a good distraction, well, I know it is. I am SO excited about this summer, sharing the gospel with more kids this summer, and trying to live for Him more. I try to sit here at school and study and for some reason, I just don't get as excited about that (sense the sarcasm?). Please pray that I would glorify God in all things, even through studying. I have to finish the semester out strong, but I am not going to lie- it is so hard when I know this summer will be amazing!!
Love y'all!
Love y'all!

I Am Blessed
I had a very moving hour tonight. I've noticed that I have decreased in the amount of time I reflect on my life. I haven't stopped and just thought about the relationships that are being built each day. Tonight, at our small group meeting, I cried for a good 20 minutes, and if you know me... it is very hard for me to start crying in front of people I don't know. But you know something? I found that I do know the people I cried with tonight. It was a good cry, too.
We used to play "Hot Seat" in our youth group (Steph, you remember this). It was one of my favorite things that we did because it forced us to a) recognize the goodness in the relationships that have been built, and b) bring ourselves to understand what others truly feel about us. It can be a very moving moment, especially if you doubt that you have had an impact. Well, I just joined MLC this past semester. To be honest, I was scared when I joined. I was scared of being the new girl because I'm shy enough as it is. Well tonight we played "Hot Seat" and it was so wonderful. I enjoyed hearing what people had to say about me, but I loved finding out what I thought was admirable in others. I never really stop and say "This person is so ____" It's kind of a subconscious thing. I want to "stop and smell the roses". I value friendships so much but I never actually tell the people I value how much I value them. I've noticed I can be a bit protective of my thoughts. Things have changed, and I want to fix them. I want to be forward with people and let them know the impact they have in my life. "Carpe Diem". It's funny that I forget most of the things people say they admire in me, but I remember what I say to others. I love my friends. We all influence eachother (in good ways) and I love it. I love the fact that we all love Jesus and can share what He is teaching us. I am excited about next year and seeing where God leads us all. I'm excited that His hand is upon all this, and He finds each one of us as admirable. I strive to be that for Him everyday, and I just want to feel Him smiling upon me.
We are truly blessed.

I value friendships so much but I never actually tell the people I value how much I value them. I've noticed I can be a bit protective of my thoughts. Things have changed, and I want to fix them. I want to be forward with people and let them know the impact they have in my life. "Carpe Diem". It's funny that I forget most of the things people say they admire in me, but I remember what I say to others. I love my friends. We all influence eachother (in good ways) and I love it. I love the fact that we all love Jesus and can share what He is teaching us. I am excited about next year and seeing where God leads us all. I'm excited that His hand is upon all this, and He finds each one of us as admirable. I strive to be that for Him everyday, and I just want to feel Him smiling upon me.
We are truly blessed.

One of the best movies ever..
So after surprising Lauren for her bridal shower, we watched what is now one of my favorite movies. I think I can watch it over and over again. I'm planning on reading the book this summer. Can you guess what it is? Pride and Prejudice. It was such a great movie, but I'd have to say that my favorite scene was the last one. It was the most romantic thing I have ever seen. I strongly suggest you seeing this movie if you have not. It is great!
Mr. Darcy: "And how are you this evening, my dear?"
Elizabeth: "Very well, only I wish you would not call me 'my dear', For that is what my Father calls my Mother when he is cross at her.”
Mr. Darcy: "Ahh, and so then what should I call you?"
Elizabeth : “Well let me think. Lizzy for everyday, my pearl for Sundays, and my divine goddess for every other day."
Mr. Darcy (laughing): "And what am I to call you when I'm cross? Mrs. Darcy?
Elizabeth: "No, you may only call me Mrs. Darcy when you're completely,perfectly and incandesantly happy."
Mr. Darcy: "And how are you this evening, Mrs. Darcy?"
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...(kisses her left cheek)
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...(kisses her nose)
Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...(kisses her right cheek)
Mr. Darcy: Mrs... (kisses her on the mouth)

The Old Days
Awww, so I DO miss the drumline every once in a while. My friend Tamara sent me a picture of me and my friend Nick when we were about to perform. I think this was during our break:
I don't even remember this! It is so cute though. I kind of miss those moments!
