In the few days i have been at Covecrest i have learned a lot about myself and the things that need to change in my life. I won't go into great detail because it's long and complicated and a little personal but i know that i have many walls to break down for me to be able to get to God and let him love me like he wants to. I have had a lot of time to think about lots of random things and there is one thing that has randomly been on my mind that i would like to share with you today.
OK so i don't know how many of you like to read. But if you do i recommend a series called Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. They are defiantly children's books and i can make it though one in a day but i love fantasy books and just the idea of books taking you into a different world.
Well in Percy Jackson's world he is the son of the sea god poseidon. Yes, i know what your thinking, Carrie your sposta be Catholic here where are you going with this? Well i will tell you! Let me stat by saying i read these book purely for entertainment value and i don't believe in any of that (obviously I'm Catholic) but i have this awesome way to tie reality into fantasy....just for the fun of it. (like i said we have a lot of time to think)
So in this book, Percy goes to a summer camp for kids who have gods who are parents, and they call themselves demigods. This camp has a magical border to keep all the bad things and evil things of hades out. So here's were the fun of my thinking process comes in. I was thinking Covecrest is kinda like this camp Percy goes to. But instead of keeping out "hades" we are kinda like a safe haven from the devil. It's like he is way to afraid to attack us here. We have these almost "magical" boundaries keeping him out and getting us closer to God, i think that is completely awesome!!!! I'm not saying we are completely cut off from sin, i know i sin everyday even though I'm living here, but i haven't been sinning as much and it's just been a little easier to remain close to Christ while I've been here, i mean we do spend most of our day praising the Lord!!!
So any who that was my great revelation today.

Carrie, I am not 100% sure where you are or exactly what you are doing, but it looks awesome. What is this mission about? Is it a learning thing for you guys or do you go out? Where is it? It sounds like God has huge plans in store for you. I am super excited for you too! I'll definitely be keeping you in my prayers. I miss you and I hope everything is going well (sounds liek it is!)
