some intense preparation...

So I apologize for not blogging recently. I have been in intense preparation for camp this past week with little down time for rest, let alone blogging. Looking back on this past week I have begun to add "blogging time" to my prayers. I so badly want to keep everybody updated on my upcoming journey this summer and I promise to try my absolute best.

Like I said I have been getting ready for next Friday all week long and I wanted to share with you what that included. I am the videographer this summer in Macon, Ga., however we [videographers] need to know the weekly bible studies just in case something happens and we need to jump in and help. After going through them a few times I have a whole new respect for the bible study leaders this summer and I have been praying for them more and more. This past weekend I also traveled down to the Passport national office in Birmingham, Al. to go through video training. I was blessed to meet and get to know the other videographers working this summer and we became fast friends. I am glad to have them as people I can turn to in times of stress and craziness this summer. We all spent a jammed packed weekend learning the video software and practicing using our cameras. It was so much fun and it made the anxiety I had about using the camera this summer shrink down so much.

The only snag I ran into this past week was in the airport trying to get home from video training. My plane was delayed about 45 minutes which was not too bad. However, when we got on the plane to take off, the left engine was not working. That began the downward spiral. After deplaning we were moved to 4 different gates. 3 hours later we finally were back on a working plane and going home. I was supposed to get home around 1230am Monday morning but after that ordeal I ended up getting home at 4am. Thank you sooooo much for my parents for picking me up and driving me home. I don't know what I would do without them sometimes.

Through it all I have been blessed to be able to find little bits of time to keep up with my bible readings. I am still in 1 Samuel and I am enjoying it. It is not a complicated book to understand and it is quite entertaining, which is exactly what I need during this busy time.

Please continue praying for me as the first day of camp training draws closer with each passing day. I am so excited about this summer and I cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. Its going to be so much fun. I pray that everybody has had a wonderful week so far and that the rest of the week goes smoothly for everybody. And of course I pray that your journey is richly blessed with all that God has to offer.
