Why is it called the funny bone?

Well my left arm is out of commission for a couple days...my brother decided to lose it with me and in the process of protecting my head and restraining his wrists, I somehow managed to twisted my elbow...so after a few ho urs in ER, I can't move my arm and am waiting on a sling. it is getting too heavy to always support on its own and because of that, I cant go walking or rollarblading right now because there is absolutly no support.

Well Sunday/Monday begins my adventure at Winkler Bible Camp. I am really excited about it! I know quite a few of the staff there and quite a few of them are from SBC so it will be great to see them again. I am excited. However I am going to be stuck doing office work and such because of my arm but whatever. I'll live.

"Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. " My theme verse right now. I am holding onto it for all its worth because I am feeling really discouraged. This whole arm injury thing really sucks and has affected my sleep or lack their of and am just ready to be at camp serving God, surrounded by Christians. I miss my Christian bubble at SBC but I realize that their is also a real world so ya.

Thoughts and Musings Entry #1

Is it possible for me to be homesick for some place that technically is not home? I miss SBC/ Steinbach so much and tonite I realized how much of a part of my life it really is and how important my friends at school.

Tonight I realized that I am bestfriendless right now, or so it seems. After the choir concert (which was really good) I went to the church and jammed with Manda and Rob, 2 people who at one point within the last year were my best friends and now, it was just weird. The only thing that held me together tonite was knowing that we were unifed because we were all worshipping the same God through our Praise and Worship we were playing (It was cool b/c Manda was on accoustic, I was on Bass and Rob was on electric).

My best friends are seriously all over the world right now. I have one of my friends in the Dominican Republic. I didnt realize how amazing she truely was till I didnt have her just a text message away. She is such a huge support to me and to not have her right there has been challenging. Than 2 out of 3 of my group (Crystal and Ben) are out west somewhere. I miss them so much. I have MSN Crystal a few times, but Ben is never on which really sucks, I can't wait till he is back in MB so we can text, I really miss talking in the evenings and saying good night. Than the third member of our gang is in Belize right now, with 11 other guys. It sounds like they are having a blast and I have loved talking to Matt through MSN/FB lately. But it is just not the same as in person.

Tonite I realized how much I love my SBC friends, how much I miss them, and how much God has blessed me through them!
