Campus Construction -- Summer 2008

to my sister

kristin,

it is hard to blog when it feels like no one reads it. i know that you are not no one, but yeah.

i yuv you.

the life i lead

things have been so crazy busy. too much so.

some fun stuff though! i went to the teen convention in rochester last weekend and saw camp peeps! FUN! then i worked quite a lot this past week and had a retreat with my NHC youth group this weekend.

and now i am sick.

goodie.

so i did pretty much NOTHING today. i feel like such a bum, but i want to get better.

i love Jesus and people. how are you, friends?

Jesus

He is so good. So amazing. So full of grace. I love Him.

oh this head

sometimes it is so out of control.

and seemingly connected to my stomach and sick feelings there.

blah.

Jesus

There is salvation in Your Name.

blessing

my co-workers are super fun, and i like them a lot.

we are currently at Le Bourget Aero Suites in Bloomington; we stayed here last night on our counselor retreat, and we had lots of fun yesterday. :-)

it's nice to like one's co-workers. thanks, Jesus. :-)

Remember, friends

That Jesus is not the means to an end ... knowing Him is not something to do "in the meantime" while waiting for a "greater" reward. HE IS THE GREAT REWARD. If you are saved, you have already received your life's greatest gift.

And there's still more to look forward to: knowing Him more, loving Him more intimately, and spending forever in His presence.

Amazing.

"Volunteering has been very good to us."

My roomie Desiree said this on Friday. :-)

We recently volunteered for the Newsboys concert at NWC ... and for helping, we got to attend the concert for free.

Oh, and um, MEET the Newsboys.

:-)

And we ushered for Acquire the Fire this weekend ... and on Friday, we got these awesome FLOOR seats (at one point Ron Luce was like RIGHT THERE in front of us!).

Hence, Desiree's comment.

Thank You, Jesus, for the great opportunities in our lives!

how is everyone?

update me on your lives!

i've been kinda crabby this week ... pray for me! I'M praying for me! haha! i don't want to be crabby!!!

Love,
jackie lea

YAY LIFE!

Thank You, Jesus, for my delightful family and friends, for the adventures You put in my life, for the opportunities, for the relationships, for the happy moments.

Thank You for JOY.

Thank You for the cross and for the resurrection, and thank You that we may know You.
