Every Starry Night, it was His Design

Well hello fellow reader! As you know today we have six days until camp starts. The closer we get the more butterflies I get in my stomach and the shakier my hands become while typing. I know this summer is going to go great but there are still small things that even makes a returner nervous. For me, I feel like the experience might increase but the nervousness never goes away. I digress, reason number 6 I am ready for the camp life to begin-The orchard. 

To me the most beautiful place is the orchard, day or night. If you were a camper last year you know a little something about climbing the orchard hill. Last year boys had to carry rocks up one of the toughest hills LUL has to offer. Girls had to just walk up the hill and for me that was more than enough. Now obviously I never accompanied the boys up the hill but I did walk along side with our girl campers. Starting out wasn't so bad. You had a slight incline and you could still talk to your campers. However, once you got about midway you felt like you were climbing Mt. Everest... It felt like it went straight up and I told campers I'm sorry if I quit speaking but man, this is taking a lot of the air out of me! Once we made it to the top, everyone was always just so tired they could crash down right where we stood, but we kept hiking more to the very top of orchard hill where the view is breathtaking. The sun would be beaming down on all of us and we'd be sweating, hungry and tired, yet I would look around at the view and say man, so worth it! 

Not even going to lie, one night we went to the orchard to star gaze and I never thought I could fall in love with nature but that night I believe I did. It's crazy to see how amazing a view like that is. It blows my mind that God was so creative and had a designers hand. When I have moments like this I can't help but think, okay God, I am tired and not feeling well. I feel like I have ran a marathon and I don't know how much more love is left to give to the campers. BUT you are so good. As long as I have you by my side I know these campers will have more than enough and I will fulfill what you have called me to do this summer.

Til tomorrow when we will have five whole days to LUL! It's crazy cool and I can't wait! :)
