B- in Zoology

TEN MORE DAYS!!! Oh my gosh... How crazy it seems to say hey, i'll be at LUL in ten days!!! Well, I have some rather great news I'd like to share... I received a B- in Zoology. Hip-hip hooray! Now, this course has been so much work. I have had to memorize countless note cards, dissect creatures that were quite interesting to say the least, and I also developed a relationship with Wilbert James Hughes (he was my fetal pig for our final dissection). My first test was a 49 and at that moment I seriously said what have I gotten myself into??? I really worked my butt off studying from that day on. I mean staying up til 2-3 am. just to studying for this one class and that's late for this chick. When time to take the final came, I walked in the classroom, gave it my best, found out I had made a 77 on my final lab practical and was sure all my hard work and long nights in the library wouldn't pay off. BUT, you see, I did indeed receive that B-. Yes sir!

Why am I telling you this story?? Well, because I am SUPER pumped, but more importantly because the summer time is much like Zoology. At times I may ask myself, why did God bring me back here to camp? Can I really do this again? I'll have to memorize lessons, rules, and "what to do in case of an  emergency plans". I'm pretty sure the first time around I won't get the memory maker right and there are going to be times when I completely slip up. But, with a lot of prayers from my supporters, encouragement, and one on one time with God, all the hard work will pay off for the summer. Yes, I'll remember working super hard in zoology and the long hours, but in the end I can honestly say I worked super hard and received the grade I wanted. The same goes for the summer. The outcome on the summer is totally up to the amount of work I put into it. If I want the campers to end with a crappy week, it'll be because I didn't give it my all. If I want the campers to have the best week ever, it'll be because I worked my but off through tired eyes and exhausted brain. Colossians 3:23-24 says: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." And the Lord Christ I will try my best to serve this summer.

Reason number 10 I am excited for camp to start-Hard work pays off.
