Summer

It's so crazy to me that it's almost July. It feels like summer just started. Camp has been so fun thus far. It's been hard, but I've been learning a lot. The first two weeks I was a counselor and this last week I was out of cabin on support staff. I'm really glad I stayed for camp. It's been wonderful!

For those of you who have no idea what camp looks like, here's my average day:

6:00am - wake up, shower and devotions

7:20am - rise and shine for the campers

8:00am - breakfast

8:30am - devotions with the campers

9:00am - chapel

10:00am-12:30pm - activities 1 and 2 (I teach riflery, archery, canoeing and swimming)

12:30pm - lunch

1:30pm - rejuvination time/counselor meeting

2:45pm - snack and swim

4:05pm - activity 3

5:30pm - dinner

6:00pm - chapel

7:00pm - special activities

8:00pm - snack bar

9:00 pm - showers/devotions

10-10:30pm - lights out

It's a full schedule - especially when you have eight 8-year olds to keep track of! It's so fun though :)

But there are sometimes when I want to be home - like today. I missed Father's Day and Will's Gotcha Day Anniversary this past week. The first that I've ever missed. I miss everyone so much! Today Will is particularly on my mind. And today I wish I could be with my family, but I know when it comes time to leave here I will not be ready. (Mom, Dad, want to move out here? (: )

I'm spending lots of time in the Bible right now. Jesus is the only way I'm making it through this summer. I've hit a point where I'm always tired, and I don't think I'll catch up on sleep any time during the rest of the summer. But that's okay. For this, I have Jesus :)
