Lodge Grass, Montana

Have you ever put on a shirt in the morning,
and been in a good mood from there on out?
I have.
Today, I put on my loser shirt.
Yep, LOSER.
But this isn't any ordinary loser shirt.
This one is special :)
It's black and says "loser" on the front,
and has a unique saying on ze back.



"he who finds his life will lose it,
and he who loses his life for my sake will find it." - Jesus

I LOVE this shirt.
Not only does it remind me of awesome Jesus is..
But it also reminds me of a life changing experience I had over the summer...

The mission trip to Lodge Grass, Montana.
Crow Reservation.
Summer 2009.
I wish I could go back.


I miss this so much. I can't even put into words how much I miss it.
A rad youthgroup that changed my life.
One of a kind kids that changed my life.
God changed my life.

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free..."
Galatians 5:13a

Free from the desire for FAME
Free to share WEALTH
Free to know God's POWER
Free to be REVOLUTIONary
FREE

All this while spending time with Crow Indian children.
Easily, this was the best time of my life.
I miss the smiles, the happiness, the togetherness...
I even miss the endless piggypack rides.
I miss Kirsten. She was the sweetest little girl I have ever laid my eyes on..

( This is her ^^^ )
She even made me a purple and pink pipeliner bracelet!

Which I never take off. Ever. It's my reminder of her and the trip :)

I also miss Aleana and Ellie, two girls from my church youthgroup.
I became friends with them instantly.
We bonded so incredibly well.
They mean so much to me and we are going to
be friends for the rest of our lives.
I know it :)

Ohhhh, Lodge Grass how I wish I could go back.
It's amazing how one place can change you forever.
Thankfully for me, it was for the better :)
