I sit here, surrounded by boys, wondering whether or not I am ready for summer. Sitting here in the comfort of the boys, fulfills me. They give me a sense of home. Camp is going to be incredible - using the gifts God gave me to lead kids to Christ - but somehow, I still know I will miss the sense of family I have here. With Justin and Joel working as janitors, Gabe and Steve in Ireland, and Edwin and Tim too far away to even think of traveling...I am trying to remember what I did before them. Wait, that's right, I was uptight and worrisome. I knew those boys came in handy for something. They kind of set me free.
Majesty. That's what they're doing. A game of fighting, war, and destruction. Now, no, I am not doing it as well, but hearing the sounds of clashing swords, explosions, and mouse clicking is rather soothing. Those to me are the sounds of safety (not literally those things in real life). Yes, I have the most amazing girlfriends on campus who keep me stable...But the way that I feel with the boys, is different. I feel completely at home and like myself. It's weird I know, but I'm use to the stench of boy.
Camp is creeping closer and closer. I haven't completely finished my application yet, but the more I think about it, the more I get excited. I could finally be working with youth as a senior counselor. Staying in the cabins with them and actually being a good influence...having bible studies and loving the fact that I would be with the kids. Theater too - Being able to use theater to begin missions, even in the smallest of places... that would be awesome. :) I want to make a difference because helping change the world has to start somewhere. :)
