I have to leave Sunday. I am driving back to Durango for my 5th summer working at Kanakuk.
I’m so excited, but not excited. I love me job. I love working for K-Life. I Love that my life is K-Life. So not doing my life for a season is going to be a difficult change. I know I need the break, the change, the whatever, but still. It will be hard.
Even though it will be hard being cut-off 90% of the time from the outside world, I am so stoked for backpacking with the kids this summer. To spend so much time in the wilderness, in solitude, in community, and teaching/learning.
This summer I decided to base the backpacking bible-study on Freedom in Christ. That topic is awesome. It’s what I’ve learned more about this year than anything else, so naturally, I want to pass it along. Not to mention, what a phenomenal topic to spend all summer teaching kids while living at 12,000 feet altitude deep in the mountains. So, I’ve downloaded about 60 podcasts to listen to the drive out to Colorado, all on the topic, or dancing around the subject of Freedom. So along with all the K-Life talk preparation, journal entries, underlined areas in books & scripture I’ve pulled together, hopefully I’ll have some great vision for the bible study.
I washed my truck today, wow. I love doing that. It must happen more in the future. It’s like mowing the grass. Instant gratification. The truck is dirty, but then, 45 minutes later, sparkling. Same thing, the yard can be totally overgrown and then 45 minutes, and beautiful. I can decide if my thought that I want to be a good-steward & disciplined is really where my heart is — or if it’s because I am crazy and just have the desire for things around me to be clean and organized.
I am going to blog more. I don’t get to journal about everyday things hardly ever, so I will take advantage of this again, even if it’s never read… which might be for all the better.
Oh thinking outloud. Thanks again blog.
