the summer.. i wonder...
In case any of you didn't know, school work can be very long and boring and tiring and just plain stupid! Jeeze! I woke up today at 10:50am and I started on my history homework at about 11:30am. I took about an hour break for lunch and watched a movie. Then, I continued my homework and finished at 5:00pm. After spending about 6 hours or so on homework, I feel really exhausted and weak. I knew it was going to take that long, but I was hoping there would be some miracle and I'd all of a sudden have the ability to read 40 pages of US history in an hour.
But anyway, I've been thinking and I think that I'm really scared for this summer. I know I should be excited for camp because it's like a mission trip in Wisconsin and I get to get paid for serving God. It's just I know it's going to be hard. I know I'm going to miss a whole bunch of people like crazy. I know that I'm going to end up feeling really weak as the summer goes on because I stay inside most of the day working in the office and not getting very much sunlight. Also, I remember last summer when I was volunteering in the office, I lost my appetite and didn't eat as much. I also won't be able to interact with the campers as much during the day. On the bright side of it all, I get to make it possible for campers to come to camp and learn about God. I get to spend time with kids at breakfast, lunch, dinner, activites, devotions, and campfire. I'm the one who gets to talk to the kid's parents and work it out so that they know all of the information about camp and so that they can get their kid to come to camp. I liked working in the office though because I like to organize and I liked talking on the phone and making it possible for kids to come to camp! I'm excited for this summer all at the same time because every week at camp... a whole bunch of campers come to Christ and get to know about Jesus. So, I'm making it possible for little kids to learn about Jesus. Woo-hoo! lol Sometimes we need to make sacrifices when it comes to serving God, and so I'm doing that but I'm not saying that I'm upset for doing. I'm excited because you never know what God might have in store! Pretty much, I have no idea what the summer is going to be like but it's not in my hands, it's in God's hands.
