Time Flies...

I realized today that I have less than 4 weeks until the summer is over. It has flown by in such a blur I don't think I could begin to look at all the individual events that have happened.

I honestly feel like I just left North Carolina about a week ago, and yet here I am, staring straight at the end of my time out here. I'm not really a person who gets attached to places, instead I try to live as much as I can and love as much as I'm able wherever I am, but I'm not ready to leave. I have made some amazing friends, friends for life and beyond, and I will miss them dearly. I don't want to make this all about who I will miss, but that is sitting on my heart right now.

Something I am thankful for: New Summer Staff! The last two sessions have gone by with me making so many mistakes with the people entrusted to me, with so many lessons taught, learned, and failed. I have this one last chance with a group to try and put into action the things I have learned about me, and about being with and leading people. These girls(3) and guy(1) seem like awesome people so far. I have been praying for them and how our time together will work out for the past few weeks, and I am soo excited to see what happens. They all have a passion for being here, and much better attitudes than I do. I think we all have a lot to learn from each other, me especially. I know God has big works in all of us that will be played out in our lives, and I can only hope that some of that begins here and now, or continues if it has already begun.

Anyway, it's bedtime for lane. Pray for the new folks, and for attitudes and grace. I always seem to come across exactly how I don't want to, and I'm scared of that happening, so that would be nice to not come across to new folks and friends as having a very short temper and bad attitude, when I really love everything about what I'm doing.

Love. It is great.
