Summer of Adventure

Sometimes I find that things don’t go the way I think–strike that–they often don’t go the way I think. Take this summer for example. For the first time, in my life I switched to a job that enabled me to have the summers off. Yeah! (Not so for the checkbook, but great for potentially writing more)

Then the offers start coming in–jobs I wasn’t even looking for. So, I think, I am obviously meant to keep working. But what to do? (This is one of those times I kept praying for an answer and never seemed to get one.)

-Insert: hours of prayer, conversations, and absolute frustration…and still no answer.

So, I go for one. I take the one I think will be the most enjoyable and least familiar. Not my usual option. I usually play it safe and take the one I know I can do without any questions. I don’t know about you, but I like knowing I can do something without having to learn a lot of new tricks. But do we really grow that way?

So, for this summer I’ve taken on the camp life. I’ve moved into a cabin with roommates and have been thrown into a bunch of events i never got the chance to preview. It’s been a ride so far and it will continue to be. I think the summer will go fast and I think by the end I will love it, but there are some days I ask myself “What was I thinking!?”
