Welcome aboard my adventure.

Hello friends.
This summer, I am embarking on a journey to Oklahoma to work at a camp in Welling, Oklahoma: Camp Heart O' Hills through the Salvation Army. I didn't really expect for this offer to become valid when I applied on March 16th, but April 18th I came home from work to an e-mail offering me a counselor position on the 2011 staff. I was shocked to say the least. I had not heard anything from them in over a month, so I had just scratched it off the list of possibilities for the summer, and settled for going back to Cedar Point. Well, God had something else in mind I suppose, but I took it; my dream since 6th grade had come true. I accepted their offer after talking to my boss at work back home, and decided I would join their staff for the summer. My dad and I leave on Monday June 6 at 3am and I will be back sometime within the last full week of July. It's working with 6-12 year olds, so the perfect break from my preschoolers at work and the best experience ever working with a new age group, in a new environment. A much welcomed change, for sure, if only for 7 weeks. There are lots of nerves, but just as much excitement as well. I will try to update this blog, especially with prayer requests, as available internet and free-time allows. Feel free to find other forms of communication as well, though. I will post my address for snail mail, as well as my cell phone number for people who prefer to call/text.

The link below is the link for the camp, if you are interested in seeing what it's all about and what I'm getting myself into. Haha.

Thanks to all of you who have done so much to encourage and support me thus far in this adventure. Your encouragement, support, and prayers are greatly welcomed. For now, please just pray that God prepares my heart for this adventure and the work He wants to complete in me and my campers. Also, as it gets closer, 23 days away, please pray for ease of travel and transition to this new environment and experience.

Love and thanks in Him!
