Oh, Sweet, Sweet Georgia
This summer just seems to have gone by faster than I can even wrap my head around! I feel like it was just yesterday that was the last day of school! Anyway, tomorrow, July 22nd, I leave for Georgia! This week I and a ton of other people, will be doing a camp for the inner city children in Atlanta! Reality is not really sinking in yet though, I mean, I know I'm leaving tomorrow but it just doesn't seem real yet. Tomorrow, we will head to Six Flags to just hang out with the other group and get to know them better! Then, we will head down to the camp, which is Camp Wetoga! I just worked with inner city children in St.Louis a few weeks ago, but this trip will be so different than that! At St.Louis we worked with the children for all of maybe four hours for three days! Monday-Thursday we go, go, go all day long! Not only that, but each counselor has their own kid to be with for the week! So, it seems like it will kind of be like the buddy system. I'm really excited about having my own kid, but I'm also nervous. I really want my heart to be all there this week with those children. Especially the one kid I'll be glued to! I want to just love, love, love he/she as much as possible without driving the poor child crazy. :) I'm nervous that I'll do something or say something wrong to the kid, or that the child just won't like me. I know that it seems so silly, that is just how I feel. But, I know that this is where God wants me this week and that according to His wonderful plans everything will be amazing and fall into place just like it should! I'm loving the mission trips I've been going on this summer, and it has really made me want to become a missionary sometime, maybe even after college. But, that is just if that is what God wants me to do. If it happens, all credit goes to Him. I would love to go to Honduras and Africa, just digging deeper with the work and loving more and more children! God is so good! Georgia is going to be a trip I'll never forget!
