So many new stories, friendships, and growth. This time away from has really been preparing me for South Africa. I have been journaling a lot at camp and I would like share one of my entries, so here you go this one is called "Camper Biten".     "This week has been one of those weeks, when you get that one camper that pushes you emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  One of my campers Tue, 3 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=had-to-or-get-to http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=had-to-or-get-to So I have been at camp for the past two weeks and I am tired already, not of camp but from the long days; either working in the sun or in the rain. This past week I would had to get up at 6:30 and go to the mess hall and start helping making breakfast for people that I didn't even know. Then the rest of the day was filled of manual labor; but the plus side is that I already have a nice tan.     This past week I have been doing a lot of thinking and a lot of r Sun, 13 May 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=camp-barnabas http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=camp-barnabas Well instead of leaving in 3 weeks for camp, I will be leaving Sunday. Which is a pretty big change, but I am really excited about it. Apart of me feels that this will probably be the last time that I will be able to experience camp and well that makes me very sad. For a place that has impacted my heart, mind, and soul so much in the past two years it's really hard to swallow that I probably won't be back after this summer. I have a lot of memories of this place that a few of you will be Thu, 26 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=love-is-the-movement http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=love-is-the-movement So just a quick update on what has been going on and something to ponder on, (I've been doing a lot of thinking lately).   So as of lately I have been just volunteering at the church the best that I can, doing some work around the house and getting more and more excited about camp and South Africa. This past Friday, my dodgeball team "The Concussions", won its third championship in the past five tournaments, so that was a good night. I had a good conversation with a student in th Sun, 22 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=doors-open http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=doors-open Change of plans, I will no longer be going to New Zealand. Instead I will be headed toward Jeffery's Bay, South Africa. I don't really want to go into to much detail, but I just want to leave you with, the trip was canceled. But I am very excited and grateful that God opened another door for me and I am gladly walking through and seeing what His plan is for me in SOUTH AFRICA! Sat, 14 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=one-more-month http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=one-more-month So I have one more month until I leave for this place called Camp Barnabas. And I cannot wait to leave; I will be on staff there all summer. This place you really find out what you're really made of, you are stretched in so many directions, it's hard to choose which way to go first. You get to meet all sorts of people from all around the states that love to share goods love. This camp is the reason behind everything I do now. The way I see, the way I speak, and the way I live. And well a Mon, 9 Apr 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=unexpected-2 http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=unexpected-2 So after my last blog everything seemed like it was getting better my dad was feeling better and I got to go see Nathan. He was so fun to be around again and to talk to. I got to meet all the people that he works with and they were really fun. One of them looked like Robin Williams, which was kind of funny. But anyway there is a picture of Nathan and his girlfriend Gena in my photos. So last night I went to the movies with a friend from Camp Barnabas, we saw "Reign Over Me".

And it's nearly impossible to actually see the things that God is doing in your life. Well the past week that's been me.   I spoke this past Wednesday at my church about something that has been on my mind for a while now and I even wrote about it on one of my blogs.   So I was fixing all the tweaks in it so when I spoke it would be something the youth ca Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=esther http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=esther So as all of the FYM interns and myself await our trips, we are encouraged to get into the word and learn more about it and this past week we read Esther. It was really interesting to read what she was all about and the struggles of being an orphan and being a woman during that time period.   So while I was reading, I came across a verse that really stuck out the most was in chapter 4 verse16; when Mordecai was asking her if she was scared, since it was against to go Fri, 2 Mar 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=who-we-are-or-what-we-do http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=who-we-are-or-what-we-do So I like think about things and when I think that I have thought of something really good I like to write it down, so that I can use it later and Im pretty sure that I stumbled onto one of those things. Because when I speak, I like to talk about these things and try to get everyone else thinking and to try to have them come up with their own conclusion. So here it is.   You see a lot of us call ourselves Christians, Christ Followers, or whatever makes you happy reall Sun, 25 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=first-of-many http://adambarkey.myadventures.org/?filename=first-of-many Well this the first blog and Im pretty stoked about it. I cant wait until September. But there are some things that I am doing before I leave New Zealand. In January a few friends and I filmed a documentary called Accessed, it is about handicap accessibility and the struggles that come with it. We are very amped about the film and editing should be done soon, we have a myspace for it that you check out a few short clips that we have already posted (you can find the site on my links).
