Love much & love well.

Alls I'm sayin' is... in three days, we're all going to be hugging and chatting and moving all our stuff into Windy Gap for three--as Roy would say--"fanfreakintastic" weeks together!!!  

Praying for y'all...one of my favorite prayers is from The Message translation of Philippians 1:9: "love much and love well."  His Spirit will enable us to do this in community with one another and to high school students from all around the country who will come to Windy Gap for the BEST WEEK OF THEIR LIVES!!!  

Three days... I can't wait!

HELLO!


HI! I'm McKenna Ferguson. I'm from a suburb south of Denver, Colorado. I've grown up in the rocky mountains, skiing and hiking mostly. So far I only have five 14ers under my belt but I'm going for the 54 (all the ones in the state of colorado). I enjoy anything that has to do with being outside. I'm a sophomore at Fort Lewis College, a small liberal arts college in the small mountain town of Durango, Co. I'm double majoring in English and Philosophy, I'm going to be a writer after I do some overseas volunteering for a couple years. I'm a pretty shy person even though I try my hardest not to be. At least now I don't turn the color of my hair like I did in middle school whenever someone said a word to me. I love books and bright colors and thai food and watching clouds. I really like listening to people's stories and arguing about philosophical ideas that no one can solve. I work at a little organic coffee shop making lattes better than anything Starbucks can dish out. :)

I've been a Christian for three years now, thanks to Younglife. I'd gone to Frontier Ranch and Crooked Creek a few times before but hadn't been ready to take the big step to committing my life to Christ. To me Younglife was just a place where I could chill with all of my friends. I went to work crew out at Lost Canyon in Arizona the summer of 2006 and it changed my life. Completely. Last summer I went to work crew at Malibu Club up in Canada. I am beyond excited/stoked/ready for this upcoming month. I can't wait to completely give up my own agenda for a month and just let Christ work through me.
