It's been a while

I haven't written in a while. Life got busy with finals, and then I went home and spent time doing things that were completely entertaining but would have been exceptionally boring to read about. And this past week has just been CRAZY... so I haven't had the time or ability to sit down and write. So, here's some sort of attempt to make up for my lack of communication.

Work has been good. Fun, hard, exhausting, and challenging... but good. I swam 300 yards, which is about 280 yards more than I would have thought that I could swim. I pulled my boss from the bottom of the swimming pool and worked with a coworker to get him out of the pool on a backboard (for a test... he wasn't really drowning). I did CPR on dummies, shot arrows at a target, fel into the arms of coworkers, completed five hours on the ropes course, and rode on a mountain bike trail.

This week, the kids show up. I think it'll be a very different feel at camp, and my job will be less busy and more of what I expected. I'll be distributing medicine to kids, treating minor injuries, and talking to lots of parents about the health of their children. I'm looking forward to it, and I think I will be glad once I have a feel for how everything is going to go. I really want this summer to be one in which I focus on God. I read a Madeleine L'Engle quote once, and it said something about how the greatest doctors are those who realize that it is God, not them, who is saving lives. I know I'm not a doctor, and I know the odds are pretty good I won't face a situation in which I have to save a life, but I really want to live and work with that mindset. I want to realize that God is what makes it possible for me to be here, and God is who will guide me each day at work. I want Him to guide me.

Other than that... life is good. I really like my coworkers. They're good kids, and hilarious. I hope that we get to know each other well, and I'm certain I'll learn from and have fun with all of them. I got to hang out with some CCF'ers this weekend, and that was really great, too. We watched "Pirates of the Caribbean," played Trivial Pursuit: 90s Edition, watched "The Office," and had a blast hanging out.

That's all I've got for now.
