There are two things on my heart today that I want to share.
1. I really missed my brother today (I do every day, but especially today). Today we went into Canon City (pronounced Canyon) to get off camp for awhile. While we were in town we went to the Executive Director's daughter's cross country meet and then to his son's soccer game. I grew up going to soccer games because my brother played, and tonight just made me miss him a lot. So Ben, if you read this, I love you and miss you (and I can't wait to see you in November!).
2. I want to be a risk taker. Not necessarily the extreme sport kind of risks, but the the bold faith/life choices kind of risks. Looking back on how many times I have left home or gone on trips where I didn't know anybody makes me think that I am one, but I want to be even bolder. In 'Ruthless Trust' by Brennan Manning he writes "To live without risk is to risk not living....only the disciple with an unfliching trust in God will dare to risk," (21). I want to be that. I want to have an unflinching trust in God and I want to take risks because of that trust. What risks have you taken lately?

Hi there Sis! I am missing you too. I must admit, you never cease to amaze me. As I have read your posts and even listened to you over the past couple of years I find that sometimes I have to remind myself that you are my little sister. You have insight to life that others (myself included sometimes) can't comprehend. I am so proud to be able to say that you are my sister. November will be here before you know it!! Miss you and love you!!
Ben (and Trish too!)
