It's crazy to think I have been here one month.. actually ONLY one month.. I feel like I have been here a lot longer. Not in a bad way, but in a good way. I feel that I have learned a ridiculous amount in my job, made some great friendships, gotten remotely familiar with my surroundings other than just my normal summer stops, and miss home and Starkville, pretty big. But at the same time I am so happy that I have 4 more of these months until the Chaos of Camp begins. I already know I am going to feel weird when all the staff and kids show up on "my turf", this place is no longer just "camp" its home, for now. So when 300 people show up to my quiet little home, it will be overwhelming.
I start traveling on my own tomorrow. I will be going to Gardner-Webb University, to recruit some staff, then next week I am off to Virginia, to recruit at VT, UVA, and Liberty! I get to see some awesome camp friends and LIBBIE!! I am very excited to get some good Mississippi State friend time in with good ole Libster, even though it will be at The University of Virginia, so what. I am just excited to get started traveling, and recruiting even more to this great place.
God has been showing me all kinds of new stuff about Him and myself. I am learning how to connect and spend time with God, as an "adult" (term used VERY loosely). You always think that you are so busy in school and sometimes forget your time with God because of that. Well people im here to tell you from watching my surrounding co-workers here at camp and knowing from personal experience, it doesn't get easier in life, maybe harder. Jobs, responsibilities, wives/husbands, kids.. you really have to take time to make sure you get that God time, and it is inspirational/encouraging to see the people I hang out with making that time and encouraging me to do the same. Our God is awesome guys and gals. So if you would just pray that I continue to go after him and discover him deeper and in new ways continously.. I have found that to be my daily prayer.. deeper, yet more casual, conversations and experiences with my God.
Random/Exciting Thoughts:
1) the Cookout drive through is amazing, our new obsession although it is by no means healthy, you can get a full meal and drink and even milkshake for under 5 bucks.. and the sides are like chicken nuggets or chicken quesadillas.. love being a fat kid
2) I may have a ticket to the Duke/FSU men's basketball game tomorrow night.. i think it is like 75%, so i hope I will be there, right behind the FSU bench cheering on the Noles! so look for me, and oh yeah.. it'll be free!!
Grace and Peace!
