Summer Time and the living is...well... A little boring

Everyone else has a blog this summer, so I figured I would get one.  Although I will not be leaving for my summer adventure until the end of June, I decided to go ahead and make mine...to jump on the band-wagon I guess...
A little info on my summer...
 June will consist of me working at the LLC, a day camp/care here in Ltown.  Basically its a daycare.  The kids get there at 730 ish and leave at 6.  I will be working the early shift all summer, 730-330 ish.  So it will be an early start all summer.  I love this job because these kids really truly look up to us councilors and its really cool to know that I am making an impact on their lives.  
I wont be making too many entrees about that, except to show how God is working.  I really think that He wants me to minister more to my co-workers than to the kids at this camp.  I just want to make friends with them, and to show them Gods love! Its been a little hard starting out because the ones I am working with until school gets out have been working together since august, so they are all really close, and its gonna take a while to get into that group, but I know that this is absolutely where God wants me to be, and its not easy but it will be great!!

In July, I will be at a camp called Crossroads!!!!  (I am really REALLY excited!)It is a youth camp held at Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, NC.  I will be working with middle and high schoolers from around the US, most from North and South Carolina, I think.  I have never been to the camp before, so I cant say exactly what I will be doing, but this is what  I know.    
I will be in an "RA" type position, where my roommate, Heather, and I will have a hall of girls, probably all from the same church, or maybe 2 different churches.  We will be hanging with them throughout the week, especially at night.  
During the day, I will be leading the "team challenge" activity.  Its like team building games.  Each kid picks their own activity each day, so I will be with different kids everyday during that.  I will also be helping with the "AV" stuff during worship, which should be really cool, especially with the stuff I have learned at school ;-) yay education in action 

so that is my summer.  I will be updating randomly...
check back for more news!!!
