day off: fifth session
okay so i know that i have been pretty brief with my posts but hopefully this is the long one. FOURTH SESSION WAS AMAZING!! my kids in my cabin were awesome and i miss hangin out with them a lot. four from hp and the rest from houston and louisiana. i can't wait to do ozone stuff in houston and dallas with them! i got the chance to meet a lot of kids that are going to be freshman at hphs and memorial. they were so much fun and the beginning of fourth session was tough because the new cabin had a lot to measure up to. at first, 5th session wasn't going as good...and then billy cohen showed up. one of my kids was sick and didn't come to camp until monday night. billy is, without a doubt, the funniest kid i have ever met. not only is he sorta ghetto and sassy but he knows bon qui qui, well. on top of that, the rest of my kids make me laugh so much. i officially love being in the summit and wouldn't want to be anywhere else. we had planet ozark last night and it was pretty ridic. we danced like crazy men the entire night. awesome.
the past two sessions have been awesome. on top of my fifth session kids being really fun to hang out with, our devos have been the best i've ever had. they are asking a lot of questions about faith and how to pursue a better faith with Christ. this is getting me soooo excited about these kids. i know that they understand what a relationship with Christ means, its just them fully giving all that they have into that and letting go. I know that as a young teenager, its hard to trust but I pray that they would let go and let God. i wish that i had done that at an earlier age. i feel like my walk would be so much greater if i had trusted God early on. i've had random one on one's with at least half of them.
the other day i almost broke down and lost it. this past sunday was the hottest day of the summer. i was working belay on the super swing and sweating like a slave. there was about 7 of the youngest girls there and for some reason, i was getting furious. i was so mad that i was about to cry. my body was about to fall over and there was nothing I could do about it. i needed Him. i had a great talk with patrick immediately after that because i had my eval for fourth session and it was great. he prayed for me and that really helped. i need You, i need energy and i need enthusiasm. the only way that's happenin' is through prayer. be praying that God would allow me to go through the dock as we say here at camp. i pray that these last two weeks are the best, most loudest, craziest, and spiritually fulfilling two weeks of the entire summer.
i'm way excited to come back to austin. i'm excited to see my family and friends. i keep on asking myself if i have changed or not. i dunno, we'll see when i get back. my friends here have made fun of me because i said i was a hippie on my fbook status. i took it off. (i'm not a hippie just more so). i'm ready for those lazy austin days lounging around the park and the playing lots of volleyball. i've only played once this entire summer (suck).
well, i've run out of things to talk about so i'm gonna go and maybe take a nap? heck no. well, be praying for me and i'm sure i will talk to you soon
