Summer & What's Going On :)

The past week has been absolutely...tumultuous. I was dealing with finals of my sophomore year, trying to pack up for summer--going home for a couple weeks then going to counsel at Highpoint, my dad came to help me drive up to Highpoint, my dad met my boyfriend, Dave, as well as his mom, I had to say goodbye to friends who were graduating, and I was utterly burnt out. I already tend to be emotional--these circumstances only encourage that side of me! :P

I've been sitting in a car the past two days {and currently the Philly airport} which usually provokes the deep and philosophical questions within me ;) and well...the worrier part of me. But, I've been considering this summer and all the possibilities and responsibilities that God has put in line.

For one, I'm going home for three weeks! :) I'm excited to be able to settle down and relax for a little while and to sleep in, hit the gym, cook a little, spend time with my family, take naps with my puppies and feed my cat.. {because you know, that's all cats need you for ;) } But anyway, I'm wanting to spend some serious time in the Word and focusing on knowing my God.

Thennn...I'm coming back to PA, where I will be a camp counselor at High Point Camp for the summer. Oh boy. I'm SO excited. I've wanted to be a camp counselor for some time. I have had some of the sweetest, spiritually strengthening moments in my life at camp. I believe God will use this opportunity to teach me to trust Him and rely on Him more. Pray that I will be broken and able to be used by Him and that the campers will be eternally affected!

Other things on my mind :)
I've been thinking a lot about leadership. Next year, I am going to be able to be a Discipleship Leader again to about eight girls I will live with at school. I'll also be working at revamping my Greek at school. I'm ecstatic for these opportunities! So, I'm trying to get a head start on all of it and get some ideas going. But, I know it will keep me busy on top of school work, friends, sleep, etc.. I'm hoping to keep up on here a little bit more too :) Keep events of life and what God is teaching me a little more up to date.

I know God is going to stretch me and teach me more about Himself, serving, leading, and life this summer and i know that He is in control of it all. This season of life is filled with possibilities and uncertainties and it can be easy to worry whether He truly is in control or not. But, He is.

"You keep Him in perfect peace whose MIND IS FIXED ON YOU, because he trusts You."
Isaiah 26:3
