Week 2

This past was my second week at camp with campers. This week there were two mini camps. The first half of the week were mother/daughters and the second half was a G.A. mini.

My cabin had mother daughters the first half of the week but no G.A.'s.

Mother Daughter camp went well. It was really short so we didn't get to know them very well at all. But it was fun. Since I didn't have campers the last half of the week, I got to paint and do odds and ends kind of jobs. I got a blister from painting so hard, but it was fun. I got to come home on thursday night since I didn't have campers. I was home for my birthday which was on friday. It was nice to be home for my birthday! Today (saturday) was the best day of the week by far.

Evan also had today off, so I got to drive up to Black Mt and see him for the first time in almost 4 weeks. Words can't explain how happy and how good it felt to see him. We spent most of the day at Chimney Rock. We both went there

as kids but couldn't really remember anything about it so we decided to take a trip there today. It was a beautiful day. It was a little hot, but it was really great to get to see everything around there from being so high up. Also it was just great to get to spend time with him.

As much as I loved getting to see him and spend time with him, it made it really hard to leave. You would think that after having a long distance relationship and having to say "good-bye" so much, that it would make it easier and that I would get used to it. But I haven't. I don't think I ever will, and neither will he. Honestly I don't want to have to get used to that. As hard as it was to leave and have to say goodbye again, I know that God has different plans for the both of us and this is part of both plans. We both have to follow what he has planned for us even if we want to have our plans.

God has really been showing me this today and the past few days. That his plan is over any that I will ever have. As his followers, his children, its our duty to follow him and listen and obey what he has planned for us, so thats what Evan and I are doing. I had an absolute amazing time today and wouldn't have traded it for anything.

Tomorrow I leave to go back to camp for a few days. This camp coming up is called camp angel tree. Its where one or more of the parents of the campers are in prison. This camp can be challenging, so if you would please say a prayer for my campers and my self.

Also if you could be praying for Evan as he gets new campers tomorrow as well. He has a 2 week secession this time. Pray that God will give us both strength when we feel week or get stressed out and pray for our campers.

Thanks for praying for all of us! I will update more when I have a little more time when I come home for break!
