The summer is over, it makes me terribly sad. I had the most amazing, wonderful, glorious, growing summer of my life. There is too many stories to share here but I will share the overview of it.
I went to Angeles Christian Camp to work as a lifeguard. When I left I still didn't know if this was what I really wanted to do. Before the rest of the staff arrived I had a week of lifeguard training, it was one of the most intense things I had ever done, it was hard but I made it through. After the week of training and bonding with the two other lifeguards, Christie and Carissa (I love you both), it was time for a week of staff training. That week was fun but difficult. The staff really bonded, it was like we had known each other for a long time, that made everything go by so much faster. Then it was time for the actual camp to start. It was insane, every minute of every day was filled with work, there was almost no time for anything else. I loved it. As the summer went on I started to grow, I grew into this person that I had never really let show before, now it is apparent and growing. I have become a women of God. I now know what my value is and what I am striving for. I want to work with kids to help them grow in Christ, everytime I got to see a kid give it up for Him, or a kid worshipping like no one is watching, it made me joyful. Knowing that I was a part of that was amazing. I help in leading people to Christ, it may not have been a direct leading but even helping the seed that was planted grow up was by far the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Now the summer is done and in my heart are all of the memories and all of the joy that happened this summer and it is ready to burst. To anyone from ACCC, thank you for everything. You may not know it but you helped me more than you could ever imagine, you helped me become who I am. I love you all!! I have so many stories and I would love to share them!

Today is my brother's 21st birthday!!

I am sitting at work with nothing to do, just thinking about life. Life is amazing, when I sit here and think about life I think about all of the good things that have happened to me and all of the good times that I have had. Sometimes I think about some of the bad things that have happened to me, but then I think of a funny moment or an amazing time and all is well again. I just wish that everyday we could think of the good things in life and not take living for granted. Everyday is a gift from God I want to live it as such. I want to spend more time outside in nature, this is where I feel God the most.
