Whats up 907

I finally made it to my home in Juneau. It was a long ferry ride and getting up at 4:30 am is not something I want to do everyday. It was cool to meet almost everyone on project today. A few of the guys are flying in tonight so we will meet them later. I can definitely see that I'm not the typical Juneau guy. There are a ton of outdoorsy type guys here which is obvious but it will be interesting to see how I coexist with these guys. Just from first glance we don't have as much in common as I would like but thats ok. Hopefully God will show me how to coexist and show these guys unconditional love even if we aren't the best of friends. I have had some trouble relating to these guys so far so I can definitely see God working in me to teach me patience with other people.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow and just getting the day started. It will be nice to get into the swing of things and not feel like a hobo who lives out of a truck. I'm gonna go check out jobs tomorrow and make sure I have a job lined up at Glacier Gardens.

I got to see Kaitlin today which was nice. She seemed really stressed out from work so I hope she doesn't get too stressed out before she goes to New York. I just hope I can keep my focus on Juneau this summer and make sure that our relationship is glorifying to God and not something that will distract me. I've found that to be really hard to keep God in front of people here on earth including Kaitlin. Its amazing how easy it is to live your day without even thinking about the God that created the awesome mountains that I'm looking at. This project should teach me how to keep God in prospective through daily life.

Well anyway God is already teaching me things about living in community with other guys who are a lot different than me. This is could be a really long summer but I thing that once I meet all the dudes and get to know them well that I will really enjoy this summer.
