I’m back.
September 12, 2007
So I know it’s been a long time since I’ve been blogging but a lot has happened since then, especially since the last 3 1/2 weeks.
The summer was awesome!!! I learned so much about myself and was able to do what I absolutley love to do, work in camp!!! So at the end of the summer I had no idea what I was going to do with my life and the camp that I worked at got a postcard in the mail about a 9 month internship in Wisconsin to work at camp. I was so excited, called to get more info, decided I wanted to apply, applied, got it and now I’m in Wisconsin for 9 months working in camp!!! It’s been amazing seeing how the Lord has been working to provide me with a place to work and do what I love.
The last 3 1/2 weeks have been a lot of training and learning and getting certified for lifeguarding (which isn’t easy) and start teaching classes. There are 13 interns and they put us in 2 different departments. I’m in the Timber Challenge, the classes that I teach are high ropes, archery, canoeing, rock climbing, team building, GPS, and in the winter cross country skiing. It’s been amazing just being challenged to do things that are outside of my comfort zone, like being on the high ropes course overseeing other kids while I am afraid of heights and not showing that to the kids. God has just blessed me so much with this oppourtunity to serve him here and work with amazing people and learn a lot about christian camping.
Be praying for me as it gets colder because I’m not used to 29 degree nights in September (yes that was the low the other night) And I don’t have any winter gear. Slowing but surely I am aquiring what I need to stay warm. Also I am in need of someone to take on my part of the lease at my apartment back in Greensboro because I didn’t know that I would be here. So I am having to pay rent and pay for the program here, and my money is running really thin. Also that I can dedicate this time to the Lord’s ministry, because I want to grow as much in this ministry as I can.
Keep on the lookout for more updates.
Vargas, it’s so amazing to see the Lord provide for you and grow you in such wonderful ways. I’m so happy for you that you are able to be involved with the things that you love and I’m also very proud of you for attempting these new experiences and taking them in instead of pushing them away. Is there an address that you have so that I can send some support your way? Not only monitary but warm clothes as well. The Lord has provided for you and I’d like to help in any way I can. I miss ya!! hope to hear from you soon!
