It's funny how the older you get, the faster time flies.......yes, Grandma and Grandpa I'm starting to understand that! =) It seems that it was just yesterday that I was in my mentor's office pulling everything out! Desk, folders, filing cabinets, shelves....the whole nine yards. I was polite and replaced all of these things with bubble wrap throughout his office. It was quiet possibly my best April Fool's Day prank to date. After getting that responsibility taken care of, the rest of the month flew by. Spring is officially here!!! No more snow!!! This means that Bair Lake Bible Camp starts getting busy, which is exciting! We had quite a few ACE groups and at least one group every weekend. I love my work! I have been given the opportunity over the past few weeks to go to schools with Adam, our guest services director/ninja, and share the Word of God. There's not an adjective that I can find to describe doing this, so I'll settle for awesomely amazing. Some are better than others, but there is nothing I love more than sharing the Word of God with people. It has been awesome and I have a few more upcoming this week. Back at Bair Lake, I have found myself loving the work in the maintenance department. Landscaping is one of my new favorite things to do. Whether it be riding on the lawn mower, pushing one, "string trimming"...known by most scholars as weed whacking, and any other imaginable work that can be done outside...I'm a fan. I have been also getting more involved with 5 star, which is the after school program that I volunteer with. I love having the opportunity to hang out and have fun with the middle schoolers, while at the same time passing on some of the knowledge of life that I have been given. Each week we focus on a new subject, such as integrity, responsibility, respect...etc. It is an awesome program and I very much look forward to staying involved. So, what am I up to these days?, one who is interested might ask. Let me lay it out. Monday- from 12-7 I travel to Indiana to serve with 5 star. Tuesday- I work from 9-3, and then have an inductive Bible study course from 3-5:30. Wednesday- 6:30 Anti-Meridian -8 prayer, 9-11:30 staff meeting, 12:30-5:30 5 star in Michigan, 7-9 worship(playing music, praising God....and other awesome things). Thursday- 9-5 work, 7-9 Bible study. Friday 6:30-8 prayer, 9-5 work. Saturday- whatever the need of camp is, sometimes a half day and sometimes an extremely full day. Sunday- usually a half day of work, 1-2 giving guitar lessons. Thats my week in a nutshell...or 7 sentences, which ever you prefer. Life has been busy, but I am very much enjoying it. I am personally doing fantastic! God is too good and then some! I still go through struggles but they are much easier to go through havin the Big Guy on my side. This month our focus is on humility. This is something I have been working on, and I find myself gaining ground, but I do need to get rid of the joking around arrogance. I'm excited to continue to learn! Until the next time may God bless you, and look to Him with an earnest heart and He will guide you! If you read this, call me!!...let's chat! =) 913-428-6133
