Well, hello friends! I feel like it has been a really long time!
As I mentioned before I am working at a summer camp this summer and that doesn't leave me a lot of free time.
I just wanted to take a minute and share with all of you! When I applied to this summer camp I had applied for a counselor position, but the director offered a kitchen position. When I was first offered I had a few moments of uncertainty. But after taking a few days to pray about it, I felt like I was to be at Camp K this summer, even on kitchen staff, so I accepted the position. As the day that I was set to leave inched closer and closer I was getting more and more discouraged about leaving, but still felt like I was supposed to be there and had already committed.
After my first full day at camp I realized that this is exactly where I am supposed to be! God has really blessed me. By the second full day of staff training, if I wasn't fully convinced that this is where I am supposed to be, again, God was leaving little assurances everywhere I turned.
Today is the last day of our first week of campers, and I have been crazy busy with working kitchen, the snack shop, and co-counselor, my days consist of many many hours without much time in between, my heart has felt overwhelmed at times, and my body hurts in almost every inch possible, but I wouldn't change a thing!! Working with the other kitchen girls is great; I already feel like I have known them forever! All of the Camp K staff is truly great! We are all a family here and I love every second of it. And my heart jumps with excitement when I think about the work that God is doing in the youth that come to camp.
I cannot wait to see what else God has in store for all of us over the next few weeks of the summer! I am growing stronger in my faith every day while I am here!
But I am asking that you keep myself and all of the Camp K staff and campers in your prayers! Have a wonderful week and remember that God is AWESOME!!! (:
