Camper?

This summer has so much in store for little ole Lindsey. I'm going to be a camp counselor in Indiana. Yes, that means being away from home and everything I know for 8 whole weeks. It's scary. Things are going to change. Heck, I'm going to change. I don't want to leave my family and all my friends. It's me being selfish, but I absolutely know it's what's suppossed to happened. It's been confirmed many times after much prayer.

Teaching these kids about Jesus is going to be awesome and stretch me in so many ways. I can't wait. This summer is going to be absolutely amazing, even though I'm kind of scared. I won't know anyone. I'll have to completely start over and make new friends. It makes me nervous and excites me. This summer is sure to stretch me in some good ways.

Oh my word. I am a freakin' lesson plan making machine. Word up. Something about working in the details and seeing the finishing product makes me proud. Seriously, this is what I'm suppossed to do. I've found my niche.

Tennessee weather is so weird. Last week was so much like spring. Today is cold. What's that about?

Well, I'm off to go relax a little before dinner and heading out with Betsy. I worked a lot today. I am tired. For real.

This weekend was quite an adventure. Snow hit Nashville and this left all of us stranded after the boy's show. We went to Morgan's house for a sleepover. Good times.

I called out of work on Saturday and we basically sat around all day until the video shoot. The location for the shoot was freezing. I felt like I was camping again. After that, I went home and slept.

Yesterday was pretty exciting itself. Church in the morning, wonderful Panchos, then to Betsy's to find something to do. After much contemplation, we went to Opry Mills, where we got paid to test drive a truck. I drove it. Trucks make me feel powerful. I like them. I don't think I've ever laughed so much as I did yesterday.

So it was a good weekend. I love those action packed-non work related weekends. :)

Back to School.

Today I went to school. Not college, but elementary school to observe. Third graders have stolen my heart. I love them.

I was nervous this morning, running late as usual and running out the door with lunch and papers in hand. When I walked into the classroom, I was greeted by the teacher, Ms. Watson. She is so nice and so honest. This is something that I value. The kids are so well behaved, let me tell you. And if there is any "rowdiness", she cures it with one simple look or request. I want my class to be like this.

It's amazing to see the different personalities of the kids and the development. Sitting in the back of the classroom, I had the perfect view of what was going on with the kids. All of them are spunky and eager to learn. This excites me. The kids seemed excited for a visitor to be in the class with them. I kept getting glances during the class and I even got to help with their times tables. Yes, I did. :)

So tomorrow I go back. Not so nervous this time. I'm ready. After today, I realized that this is where I'm suppossed to be and I'm glad. There's something reassuring about knowing that you are where you're suppossed to be in life. God has a plan for everyone and I like to think that I have partially discovered his plan for this time in my life.

Until next time.
Lindsey
