The summer

So I’m basically done with all of my major papers for this semester and recently I’ve been thinking about this upcoming summer and what it holds in store for me.  I had planned on spending the summer in North Carolina, working with Jon, but those plans didn’t work out as I had hoped, so now I’ll be at home.  I’m not upset about being at home.  I’m actually sort of glad that I’ll get the opportunity to spend time with my friends back at home.  I didn’t get this opportunity last year as I was traveling all summer, so I feel a bit distant from everyone at home.  At least this summer will give me the opportunity to rebuild some of those relationships that have grown weak.

I am a bit worried about doing my field ministry at my home church though.  I’m excited to have this opportunity to work with Richard, but I’m also a bit nervous as to what it holds in store for me.

There is also another negative thing about this summer.  Megan is traveling with the Difference this summer, so I’ll rarely get the chance to see her.  I’m not really upset, because I know this is good for her and it is going to be a great experience for her.  I mean it scares me knowing that we have go from seeing each other everyday to basically not seeing each other for three months.  This could be a good thing for our relationship though.  This distance  from each other will give us the opportunity to build our relationship more spiritually and mentally.  I’m very happy that she gets this opportunity and I know that God is going to do amazing things through her.

And while I’m on the note of ministry teams, that is something that I am going to miss greatly.  There have been a few videos posted recently of things done a Table Rock, and they just brought back memories of how amazing that summer was.  I know this summer wasn’t my last chance, as I will have the opportunity once again come next summer, but it’s going to be very different.  This just means that I need to use my talents in other ways, while I’m at home this summer.  I know that God will give me the opportunity work while I’m at Eden, and I am very excited for what he has planned for me.

Anyway, I want everyone to keep in touch this summer, and if you get the opportunity, come up to good ‘ol Chesnee for a visit.  You won’t regret it.
