I can't believe how time has flown and that it is already time to begin preparing for SST once again. I'm super excited, a bit nervous and definitely in a bit of shock :). It's only 36 days and 27 minutes and 54 seconds until the day that I load up and "move in" (as much as you can move in at a place where you move every week! lol).
Preparations are definitely underway here! My staff contract has been signed and sent in, my support letters are almost all mailed, my blog is up and running, my memory verse list is almost finished, notes are piling up for camper devos, packing lists have been scratched out and a general timeline for pre-camp to do's is forming in my planner.
God has already encouraged me by providing support commitments in various areas before letters have even been received. It is hard to explain how encouraging it is to have people partnering with me in this mission in so many ways. Financial support is necessary, but all four forms of support are precious to me. God has used many a letter, note, prayer and email, to help me get through the day or remember why I'm serving at camp. I have no doubt that this summer will be hard. Last year was very difficult and I expect this summer to once again test me and my commitment to serving the Lord in EVERYTHING, but I am excited to embark on this journey once again and see where God takes me.
Only 36 days - may God be glorified in my use of time these last days and may my preparations and hectic to do lists not hinder me from focusing on the priorities.
Prayer Requests:
- That I would manage my time well and accomplish alot of my To Dos so that I can focus on relationships before I leave.
- That God would be preparing my heart for the diverse group of staffers I will be working with: breaking down my critical spirit, dissolving bitterness and teaching me to love unconditionally.
