Camp and other such loveliness...
Well, summer has been a crazy cacophony of experiences, it seems. Tomorrow I will be heading back to camp where we will have 6-8th graders. This past week was great. We had 2-5th graders and they were pretty much the cutest things ever.
For example:
Adorable little boy camper: This cookie is pelicious.
Me: Don't you mean "delicious"?
Adorable little boy camper: No...I mean pelicious...it's BETTER than delicious. It's like when you have a dream about God...and you're walking in the valley of Eden...I mean the GARDEN...and He gives you a cookie and it tastes like this. That's pelicious.
I have really been learning a lot lately to trust God in little things. Sometimes the faith of these little campers completely astounds me. God has been throwing me some curve balls, but in all of them he's just been whispering to me, "Trust me. It's going to be ok."
Camp is draining. It's hard to reach everyone and do everything and sleep and be energized and positive. But it's so rewarding. Currently I am there with my friend Steph from PBU, and she has been a huge support me. We spend afternoons taking walks and reminiscing or talking about the summer or talking about our hopes and dreams for next year.
It's hard for me to believe that I will be back at school in a month for RA training. I'm really excited, but I'm kind of astonished that the summer is already almost done. Two more weeks of camp, a week of vacation, and I'm back. It's nuts.
I'm ready for whatever God has in store...no matter what...
