The lovely people of my life,
Well it's officially! Tomorrow I leave for camp for 3 weeks....I should be home on weekends but it's going to be new ground for me. I only know 2 people going to this camp & everyone else is well...new.
It'll be an amazing experience for me & I know God wants me here. I've prayed about it, & listened for God's official "yes" & He came through & is sending me here. I'm praying that I'm a light to the children & adults I come in contact with & that my example shines through to everyone surrounding me.
I can honestly say that I didn't expect that this is where my Summer would take me...about 2 or 3 months ago my friend said I should look into going to this camp & I said, "oh yeah, sure. But I doubt I'll go." But since then I haven't been able to get this camp off my mind...I believe God is sending me here for a reason & if it's only for me to grow & become more comfortable with people I don't know, well then that's enough in itself.
But I believe this is the first step God is sending me on for what He has in store for my future...Missions. Working with children & ministering to people.
I know that God calls people to all different things...He uses us all in different ways & with whatever God is going to use me for & call me to, I'm going to listen. I'm going to follow His voice. Yes, it'll be hard at times & tiring, but I know that if God wants me in that area, He is going to make the transition as easy as possible. He is going to make it fun & exciting.
These 3 weeks are in many ways going to be life changing for me alone. I'm not very good at meeting new people, I'm more of the quiet one that stands off to the side & listens more than giving my input. I'm timid & shy.
But, that's me & I'm not ashamed of it. God made me this way & yes it may be harder for me to make friends & join in on a conversation but with time I become more comfortable....God has a plan for everyone & with time God will help me come out of my comfort zone.
I'm super excited for these next 3 weeks! God is going to teach me a lot, & hopefully work through me to the children. I pray I'm an example & the girls that are in my cabin adore me. I just have to trust God in this area of my life....
So, as you all have probably figured out, I'll be signing off my blog for 3 weeks...not that I've been writing a lot lately anyways. A lot has been going on in my life & it's just personal. But, I'll write more when I return home & let you all know how God moved at this camp & all He did =)
Be praying for me...in many areas.
