I work at CAMP DESOTO....

I wake up everyday at 7AM to a very very loud bell (sometimes not loud enough)

I listen to the word of God EVERY morning sitting on rock looking out into His creation

I get served a full breakfast of toast, biscuits, eggs, cereal, fruit, oatmeal, and grits 

I sit on a dusty floor during staff meeting just waiting to hear the greatest words of encouragement 

I then proceed to do one of the most fun jobs:

cutting paper into feathers that later become amazing Indian head  dresses

I cut out 80 gold circles that become Olympic gold medals 

I test EVERY single marker sharpie and paint pen just to make sure we have enough for Christmas in July crafts 

I test JFo's gorp

I make a bizillion copies some for plays some for worship sing and some surprises for camp

Pray for sunshine for trips and activities 

start musical groups with the PO out of cardboard tubes 

I buddle shirts which will later be surprises and gifts to campers 

I get visit from many counselors who want a little breathe of air conditioning 

I was a million white t shirts 

breaking down card board boxes 

get ready for night activity 

I alphabetize 

I LAMINATE (love it)

I get to hang out with some of the greatest people I know 

Even though it may not sounds like it I do get to experience the campers:

I get to pass out fishing poles and lanyard string 

I get to watch girls open their birthday presents (one got a car)

I get to set up picnics and then watch girls get a hand full of pickles and crumbled up chips cause thats how she likes them

I live in a community:

of back scratches 

hugs hugs and more hugs 

you get stung by something and the KITCHEN comes to your rescue by taping an ONION to your stomach (yes that happened to me yesterday)

you begin and end your day with your friends sharing the love and word of God 

we reconnect with CORNY 

Living by a bell 

an encouraging word comes right when you need it 

prayer is always the answer 

I get mail out of our wooden post office

There is an Hour every day dedicated to Rest

I live for a coke at 3 

I spend my afternoon yet again doing the most random jobs ever but loving it

and evenings of baggo, tribe days, talent shows, dances, concerts, kickball, basketball, just to name a few

I live a life of simplicity 

I take moments everyday to be thankful 

I am BLESSED

I end every day with DAY is DONE gone the SUN

Yes yes I miss my life at home and mainly my friends and family but God has given me an opportunity to show his love through serving this summer and by golly I am going to do that the best I can!!

SEE MY FRIENDS IN 2 WEEKS THOUGH!
