In over my head??

Wow, I leave camp for a few days of rest and relaxation in MS, and I get back and hitting the ground running doesn't begin to describe the way I feel.

MS Recap:
While home I got in some great family time, Interviewed for William Carey Medical School (fingers crossed), got to see some great MSU friends, and met up with Andrew to drive back. I am hoping to hear from William Carey this week, so prayers are appreciated.

Today:
I got back to camp, and realized that there was 2 weeks until our Tribal Leaders arrived, which means that the summer officially begins. I had to move all of my stuff from office down to my summer office.. WEIRD... and now I have tons and tons to do. The pre-camp guys are here and working hard already, Andrew is here now so Admin is complete, and we are already working on the summer stuff in great detail. I am completely overwhelmed, from dealing with possible medical school plans (without getting my hopes up), to dealing with what is right now, in the present. It is a lot to juggle. There are a ton of loose ends to be tied up before I begin to feel comfortable about starting TL week. On the other hand, I am SO ready to see all of the staff I have hired and how they work and interact with the camp and each other. I am ready to see friendly faces from years past, faces that symbolize amazing friendships. I am ready to see the staff learn a ridiculous amount about everything camp in Staff Week and helping them to understand. I am ready to see those kids on June 13 and plan the most amazing summer they have ever had... God willing.

Pray for me, if you are that type of person, to impact lives this summer. I have no doubt I am going to learn an unimaginable amount this summer, but I have been put in a position to touch others' lives. I do not take that lightly, I pray they respect me and my decisions, and allow me to be a leader, and by His grace that they may see Him in all I do. I want to lead by service and with humility. I want to exemplify my Savior as I lead. I am passionate about that task this summer. I ask for prayer that I stay diligent in spending time with Him so that I may overflow with His love.

That is all for now.

Grace and Peace,
Seth (but from now on this summer, Chief Genteel Pine, or for short, "Pine")
