Time for change

Jan 12

In the morning I have my last first day of classes ever at MC. That's so weird to think about. I can't believe I'm in my last semester at MC. Wow. It's so weird to look back on the past years. I never knew I would change so much. I'm so glad I did though. I will miss this place a lot. I think this Christmas break may have flown by faster than any other. It was a good one, and for once I was sad to have a break end. I'm usually incredibly bored by the end of a break but I kept pretty busy this time and had the most amazing last week of the break I could really ask for seeing as I got to go back to camp for reunion. Oh how I miss that place. I know people get tired of hearing about it but no one can really understand unless they've been there. It was just such a good refreshing time with friends from the Summer and with a beautiful environment. We saw the prettiest sunset ever over Lake Travis. I need to enlarge my picture of it so anytime I'm have a rough day I can look back at that sunset and be reminded of how amazing God is. Wow. Pictures don't even really do it justice. The weirdest part of being back at camp besides the fact a lot of people weren't there was having Alex and Derek there. It was like I was kinda combining my two separate worlds. Even though Alex worked there the Summer before me it felt weird being there with him. He agreed. It wasn't a bad thing, just weird. 

Speaking of camp, one more way this year is bringing about change for me is that I was asked to think about being the camp photographer this Summer. I'm excited about the idea, and I think I'll take it, but I never thought I'd accept a leadership position because I love being in a cabin so much. There are a lot of things I love about camp that will be different being on leadership. I've been going over the pros and cons constantly. This seems to be God's timing though. I mean photography is one of my passions and I'm graduating this semester so having a higher up job would look better. The timing just couldn't have been more of a God thing. I just couldn't say yes right away because it's hard to give up some things about camp that I'll have to give up being on leadership such as having a cabin, I'll have to be neutral in team comp (harder than you think. ha), being in a department...the pros seem to outweigh the cons. I guess I'm just afraid I'll lose some of those bonding moments that the things I have to give up bring, but if I'm intentional with people I can still bond, and I get to go to every activity and be with everyone. So really it's a winning situation. It will be hard to be neutral in team competition because I absolutely love team comp. You better believe I'm bringing my all during counselor week if I can't the rest of the Summer because that's one of my favorite things about camp. Lonestar for life! ha Anyway just pray for me in all the changes I'll be going through this year. I think it will be a good year, but change is never easy.
