Tomorrow morning I am packing my bags and going to summer camp for a week. I’m slightly afraid for my sanity. It’s hanging by a thread as it is!
I haven’t been to camp since I was a junior in high school, so… 6 years or so, at least. I remember having so much fun at camp, but then I was a camper with all my friends. It’s a little different to go as a counselor! I have to be responsible and whatnot. Granted, I know all the kids I’m going with, and we’ll have a blast, but it’s still kind of weird. Now I feel like I’m in high school. I mean, I am going with high school kids, but still.
I think my group will be pretty self-sufficient, so I’ll probably have a fair amount of time to myself to just do whatever. I am so looking forward to that; even if I don’t have any time alone, I don’t even care. I need a break from work and the overall hecticness of life, and just be, without having to worry about deadlines or anything. I have a lot of things to think about, both professional and personal, and I think a week with no connection to anything I normally have other than Jesus and these kids is just what I need. And hopefully I’ll have time to take some naps, too.
Because then my friends and I go straight to a bachelorette party! One more wedding this year, and the first where I’m not in the bridal party and could actually bring a date and be able to sit with them! I’m so thrilled for this one, mostly because I can just sit back and enjoy it 100 per cent. Weddings are so crazy, but I love every minute of it.
Anyways, I will probably come back more exhausted then when I left, but I’m hoping that I’ll also come back with some clarity and focus on multiple issues. It is my prayer for the week.
I’m so excited!
