Tomorrow.

TOMORROW. Wow.

Seriously my whole life I have longed to be a camp counselor: being about to act like a crazy person all for the greatest man to ever walk the face of the earth: Jesus.

That all begins tomorrow. I am SO thankful that the Lord has provided a way for me to do this. Silly me for ever doubting. I never thought it would come so soon though.

Tomorrow I will begin my journey to Pine Cove Outback (a christian overnight youth camp in Columbus, TX). It feels like I was thinking and praying about applying just yesterday, and now it is HERE!

I feel so honored to be going, and I know that the Lord has placed me at this camp with these campers and counselors for a divine purpose. What a blessing to be a part of!

One of my great friends and sorority sisters who just so happens to also be working camp with me, Rebecca Collins, says that camp is literally the best thing that she has done with her life thus far. Wow. Now how awesome is that? I hope that I can say the same thing coming out of camp!

In my interview with a Pine Cove staffer, I told him that if I was hired the main thing that I truly would want to happen in my life is that my life would totally be used up for God's purposes and His glory. Okay, now that sounds a little trite, but let me explain. I will be challenged while at camp, and I am very aware of that. There will be days when I don't want to be around anyone, days when I just want to sleep that extra 30 minutes. Those are the times when I desire for Christ to truly intercede and be my strength. I don't want to rely on coffee, happiness or anything of this world to give me joy and strength. I want to know what it feels like to be totally emptied, and then filled with the unexplainably abundant grace that surpasses all of my understanding. That is my desire for camp!

I ask that you all will please be praying for me as I go to camp. I am so nervous, mainly because I have never done anything like this before. I ask that you would pray for myself as well as the other staff that we would not get in the way of what the Lord has planned for this summer because I know whatever God has planned is going to be AMAZING.

Also, if you want to mail me sweet letters or goodies while at camp, that would be much appreciated! I won't really be in contact with the outside world besides the old fashioned way of writing letters.

"The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." -Psalm 28:7

In Him,
