Oh how weird...

Hello all. Miss you greatly.

I am officially sitting in Jim Badke's living room. In a matter of minutes I will be heading over to the camp and walking in on the K8 Gospels class before they head to lunch. This will be the first time that I have set foot on Qwanoes property without all of you here. I'm not excited. It shall be sad to walk by our old rooms and see new people living in them. 310 won't have a chin up bar in the walk way, 213 won't have a creepy curtain, and none of the doors will be covered in our random hang ups.

I miss you guys so much.

Justin is here with Wes. But I wish you all were too.

Your sister, Bria

Mom

Mom is gone now. We are all feeling good. Losing a mother is hard and I have been losing her for the past few weeks. But today she moved on and it feels a lot like the end of Kaleo, sad to say goodbye but excited to meet again. I appreciate all the prayers and conversations. Words can be hard so don't sweat it if you can't find any. Just knowing that you are my brothers and sisters means a lot. Still hoping to run into many of you asap.

Cheers, love you guys.

Hey guys. So in these past couple of weeks a lot has happened with my mom. After a recent scan we found out that mom is really short on time. The cancer is affecting her personality and so she isn't the mother I know. She sleeps about 21 hours a day and it looks like we are down to weeks. These past couple weeks I have felt the most loss and hurt. Just wanted to fill you all in.

I know you guys are praying for me and thinking of me and my mom. I am sure it has helped in ways I don't even know of. I have a hard couple of months ahead of me but I know that love grows much in suffering. Cheers brothers and sisters, I will be in touch.

How easy it is.
How easy it is, to lift your hands,
How easy it is, to raise His name
How easy it is, to be given so, so much
How easy it is, to praise
How easy it is, say “blessed be His name”
In times of prosperity
In times of despair?
How easy it is.

How easy is it to say,
What I have is not mine
It belongs to The Lord
How easy is it, to lift your hands
How easy is it, to open those hands
How easy is it, to look upon a crowd
Who have been given so much
Who haven’t had what was given
Taken away?
How easy is it, to recognize the ownership
What you have been given
Your Friends
Family?
How easy is it.

It’s not easy.
It’s not easy to raise my hands
It’s not easy to say, “blessed be His name”
It’s not easy to look upon a crowd
Who have not been challenged?
Who still have what they were given?
And can easily sing, “blessed be the name”
It’s not easy to stare down a calendar
And wonder, How long till?
It’s not easy to imagine a life without
It is easy to imagine a life with.
Not without.
It’s not easy,
Not one bit.

Yo Jer, why do you have to be such an idiot and not be on Facebook?
