the good in goodbye.
I have been home for slightly over a day, and in a little more than half a day I will be heading to camp for the next 8 weeks. I am so excited, but at the same time I feel like I'm not ready at all. I feel like I'm being shoved out of Longhorn Singers and finals into sunscreen and summer camp with no time to rest or switch gears. Life instantly looks different- different people, different place, different purpose. Packing my life into three sets of plastic drawers and a 4runner and saying goodbye to precious friends should deserve more time than this.
However, I will work with the time I've got. As of now I am pretty much packed and ready to go. I leave tomorrow for staff training, and get campers in two weeks. Sometime between now and then my heart and thoughts need to catch up with the rest of me and be at camp, not in Austin. I will get there. :)
Although I always find myself missing Austin and the people I find there within about a day of leaving, I am glad that summer is here. (How is it time for summer again? Where did this semester go?) I have a lot to do to get ready for next fall. Things to learn and things to let go of and things to think about and plan for. Campers to love on and classes to take, and I think it would be smart to buy a pitch pipe somewhere in all of this.
I can tell that this summer will be a lot. I miss roommates and Singers and others already, and I've only been gone a day. I go to camp tomorrow and am for sure not "stocked up" on sleep. But I am ready. I know that the Lord has plans for this summer, and I am excited to see them unfold. So, tomorrow-- camp. For now, sleep.

You have a 4runner? Wow.
