We're into our fourth week of camp: Music camp. That's right...band camp.I'm not ashamed to admit that I have attended band camp willingly before and now I find myself teaching theory, helping with chorus, and teaching piano. That's right...the girl who's never taken a piano lesson is teaching piano...pretty mental,but my students really like me :)
Pre-camp was a great time to reconnect with people from last summer and then the staff arrived at the first of June. It was crazy to see people after having not seen them for a year!
I have been one of the two speakers for the camp and I must say that I absolutely love my job. To dance and sing with the kids, lead worship, and speak on top of that...what a blessing. I find myself giving thanks to God each day for reminding me that I am His servant and that He has plans for me that far outweigh the plans that I can make for myself. I am finding myself getting close with the counselors and support staff. What a great bunch! Honestly! I'm heading to Maryland with a group of 20 people for a four day break from camp. I'm sure that we'll have a blast and get to know each other even better than we currently do!
This past break, the entire staff went on a seven mile hike to see about twenty-two waterfalls. This is the crew that decided to make a pact to stay at the front of the group. We may have gotten separated a bit, but me, Rachel and Emma (to the left of me) stayed together and made it in record timing. What a sight and what a great way to be reminded of God's creativity and the beauty that He's made for us to enjoy! Camp is great. People are great. Adjusting to being back in the States is getting better each day, with the prayers and support of my friends not only far away, but my best friends who are at camp with me this summer.
Remember...be blessed and be a blessing.
