Say won't you Say

The Last Day

It was an early morning here at the Seastar. We all awoke around 8am to begin the cleaning/packing/moving of furniture process; and oh what fun it was, not at all. Tensions were high around here as emotions are running wild as it is and then people trying to find lost items, cleaning tiny rooms that 5 people have resided in for the last 10 weeks and trying to fit all of our stuff we arrived here with, My suitcases which were already about 5 pounds over the weight limit on the trip here from home, and I have now added many items to all of that through the course of the summer, we'll see how that works out.

After all the craziness and saying goodbye to my roomate Ashley who left this afternoon I went out to the Beach to soak up some sun and enjoy this beautiful place that has been right outside my backdoor for the last 10 weeks, for the last time. Many of us here have agreed that this is the weirdest feeling, almost as weird as the first day we were all here. Its like we all know that this is what is supposed to happen, but none of us know exactly what will happen next. We were supposed to be here for 10 weeks, with these people, in this place, learning all that we have learned and being challenged and stretched in our faith in ways like never before.

I am walking away from this experience with much. Much gratitude and thanks for all of the people here on this project and for the close relationships that I have made here, I have made some lifelong friendships here and I look forward to the day when I will see these friends again. I have much hands on experience in sharing my faith like never before and have truly learned the power of the Gospel and how it has worked and changed my life and heart and how it continues to be true and evident in my life everyday. I've learned what it means to have true Intimacy with the Lord, Also in having intimacy in my girlfriendships and the importance of being true-faced with all of the close relationships in my life, and to walk in the room of Grace. I am excited to say that I have had the opportunity to live in California for even just 2 months. Having lived in Texas all my life its been such a refreshing change. I am walking away from this experience changed in many ways and I'm excited to see those changes play out in my real world back at school and at home.

We are staying up allnight probably spending a lot of that time out on the beach and just enjoying each others company for the last time for a long while. I'll be back in Dallas tomorrow and then headed back to San Marcos Sunday morning very early to get eady for the harsh reality that is School Starting. I'm excited to see all of my friends at school again and have good catch up time with them! I will miss California and these amazing people and will think about so many aspects of project very often. So long sweet Summer.....A
