Summer '07 Part III

Well the last part of my summer was probably the most amazing :]

I spent two weeks doing territorial camps in my own territory haha. I first to TAM which was absolutely amazing and then the famous SLMC, which was also very amazing.

First let's start with TAM. I was proud to be part of the first ever worship track at TAM. I had the privelge of worship 2-3 hrs a day (sometimes more) with amazing instructors and my best friends :] Our worship team truely had an annointing on us by God. My voice teacher was Ray Livingston. He was so awesome to get to know him and his personality haha :] Our other instructors were Bill Rollins, leader of the worship band as a whole. Mark Hood, guitar instructor, Jon Knaggs, assisted Mark. Phil Laeger, piano instructor, and Andrew Garcia assisted him. Captain Jon Jackson did percussion, and Matt did our sound. I roomed with great people :] my roommates were of course Erin, Sara Mattern and Ebony :] It was pretty awesome haha. On wednesday night we went into the city for a prayer walk and to see Mary Poppins. The entire trip was absolutely. The prayer walk made me step out of my comfort zone. I loved it :] And the show was absolutely amazing :] Overall TAM was absolute life changing experience :]

Me and my wonderful roommates :] Me and Em being our crazy selves :]Lucas and I :]

Mary Poppins billboard :] It was awesome :]The whole TAM conservatory at Time Square Corps :]


My last stop of the summer was at the Famous Star Lake Musicamp. I wasn't very found of going there. My previous experience wasnt' very pleasant. In fact it sucked haha. But I'm pleased to say this year was much much much better haha. I played in Hilltop band on first cornet and sang in Star Lake Chorus. The guests were absolutely amazing :] Graeme and Neryl Press became my friends by the end of the week and truely people I look up to in my christian walk. It was a great pleasure to listen to his devotions every morning, and watching his cute, but lesson giving cartoons :] I loved hanging out with like the greatest people on camp. Neal, Carissa, Evie, Andrew, Allison, Seth, Isaac, Derek, Felix and Dave all became some of my good friends after that week. And I must say I truely look up to and admire Neal, Carissa, Evie, Andrew and Dave. They're all great examples of christian young people in college living the way the Lord has asked of them. They're amazing. My previous posts have all told of lifechanging experiences this summer but Star Lake was very different than those. I didn't kneel at the altar with my own selfish sin to repent of. I knelt before the Lord bringing my friends and family to him and asking him to bless them and becoming selfless. I think that every experience before that had brought me to that moment at the end of my summer and it was more amazing than I could ever explain. It's indescribable:]Star Lake Chorus :]Dave's weird/hilarious pose haha :]Erin and I at Dairy Queen :]Isaac, Derek and I :] Me playing Delilah in the History of Sampson haha :]


All I can say is the Lord has blessed me with a truely amazing summer and I couldn't have asked for better :]


I am blessed :]
