New Friends In New Places

So I went searching on facebook for groups about Camp Hollymont. And I found one for 2008 Summer Staff so I requested to join (because it was one of those) and the creator of the group was a girl named Emily. So she added me as a friend and we did some "chatting"... you know. She seemed really nice and helped calm my nerves and some of my fears about the camp. And she answered a lot of my questions. I also looked through her pictures and saw a lot of what the camp is like. I'm even going to get to sign. Unfortunately, it sounds like I will know more sign than anyone where, which isn't enough and means that I will not be learning anything new this summer... at least no new signs.

I have been told by many that I am going to learn so much, spiritually, this summer and I know I will. But what I am looking forward to more than learning and teaching these young girls... I am really looking forward to coming back to Athens and Wesley in the fall and learning all the lessons that God is going to teach all my friends this summer in their endeavors.

I joined a Women's Small group this January. The actual group began in August but my fall semester was far too busy... well that was my excuse but we won't go into that right now. Anyway, one of the first nights there one of our leaders, Katherine, showed us how God can teach me one thing and my friend another. And then it is our job to share what we have learned with each other. I can't wait to learn what everyone else will learn this summer.

I really feel like God's going to rock my world again in the fall. And I know that thinking that way will cause me to mentally decrease the value of this summer... and I already know that God's going to prove to me that this summer is going to change my life. I am so looking forward to it! I'm probably going to meet some really awesome girls... and I'm going to teach some middle school girls some things they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. And they will teach me things that I know I will carry with me, especially as I go into Youth Leadership at AFUMC. I hope that I don't end up adding to the already long list of girls that I plan on having as bridesmaids.. that list really is long enough already.

Alright, now I'm just babbling so I will go. But it is kinda weird to think that in less than a month I will be in North Carolina.

It's gonna be one heck of a summer, people!

In Him,
:D
