Statue of Clay?

So why didn't I just put my name? Well, to answer that question I'll first tell you why I chose this name. I chose it because it's what I am. See, my goal is to be a statue that stands fixed pointing to heaven, and for now i'm just made of clay. When the rain comes I often melt and lose my form. But the more I stare at the sky, the more the Son will bake me, and the stronger I will become. One day I hope to be a statue of stone, that can stand the weather, unmovable, staring to the sky without blinking. Why didn't I just use my name? Because every time I write I don't want it to be "me" writing. I want to remember to keep my gaze fixed upon Him and so I chose a name that will remind me to do just that.

The beggining

So I know that I haven't really done anything since I created this, and y'all probably think I forgot about it. I didn't. This summer has been so busy and so incredible that I haven't found the time or the feeling of adequacy to write. Some of you may know that I've been at Lighthouse Christian Camp since may 25th, and our schedule has been insane! 6:45am-8:pm for most of the summer. But now it's slacked off a little and I plan to write a little bit more. I've learned so much this summer I'm not sue where to start, or if I'll even be able to capture the spirit of the summer even a little in words, but I'm going to try. First of all, my being here is pretty much a miracle. I wasn't supposed to be here at all, much less all summer. And even though no one else thought it could happen God told me I would be here all summer and even this week, and the crazy thing is...I actually trusted Him. Trusting God is scary, but so rewarding. And He always keeps His word, always
