Texas

    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow you're only a day away. Yes. Less than 24 hours from now. I'm leaving for Texas. Can you believe it, I cannot! For those of you that don't know I will be working at OutBack Camp through PineCove Christian Camps the first half of the summer, fifty-five nights to be exact as my mom counted it up last night. Crazyy! I will be working with 2nd to 8th grade kids and other than that I really have no idea what to expect. All I have heard is awesome stuff though! I feel like it was yesterday I got the call from there telling me I got the position, and now I leave tomorrow is like woahhh! As I get stuff together and pack I have had such a mixture of emotions some moments so excited and other moments my nerves are out of the roof. I hate packing though, it stresses me out. There are so many what if potentials you have to work through!

     I know so many people doing something new and scary this summer whether its going to camp or even staying where you have been your whole life. We are all facing these emotions in different levels, but the common ground we have is that we are all getting out of the boat. Just like Peter the Lord told him to step out into the water, the unknown, but to have faith that He would guide and protect him. When He got out of the boat the Lord let him walk on water, the Lord was faithful in His word. Peter had to get out of the boat and get his feet wet. This summer that is my prayer for myself and all the people around me. That we would get wet. The Lord promises us good, we just have to trust His word.

    Right now in one moment I am on the verge of tears and in the next I can't wait! So as you get out of the boat and get wet, know He is and has been faithful over and over again in that promise. I have no idea what this Summer holds or any expectations for that matter. All I know is that I'm having to get out of the boat, but that He's got me and He's got you too. Lean into Him in the new ways and engage in what He promises us. It's gonna be worth it! Even the 14 hours car ride there...!

    Thank you for all who have prayed and are praying for me. It means so much! The best way to talk to me the next few weeks will be via snail mail, but I will have my phone on weekends for a little while! So WRITE ME!!! Here is my address for PineCove!

    Whatever season of life you may be in right now know the same guy who let Peter walk on water and the same one who split the Red Sea is the same one who is going to show you the good He promises. They had to get wet first and so do we. So to myself and all of you get out of the boat! He's got bigger stuff in store, even if right now it's a little (okay a lot!) scary and nerve-racking!
