Camp, the Theme, and an Apartment

Deepest apologies for once again slacking in the blogging. Not due to a lack of blogging material, camp is quite the blog material generator. I feel overwhelmed by the amount of stories that I could share with you about this summer so far.

I like my job as wellness director. I am busy with giving meds in the morning and then have free time in the afternoon. I usually have to take care of a few minor crises such as tick removal, splinters, and the occasional rolled ankle. We have had a few possible broken bones that have been sent to the ER but luckily, all have come back ok. My evenings are also busy with meds and program jobs. I also have the occasional night run to a cabin due to sickness. Overall, I really enjoy what I am doing and have more time to just enjoy camp and community than I have ever had in previous roles.

A theme in my own life this summer has been beginning to understand my identity in Christ as a woman. This may seem like, duh! But I have heard a few amazing sermons at Jacob's Well on women of faith in the old testament, and then how Christ changed religion and culture in general to include women as equals in Him. Also, I am currently reading Captivating by Stasi Eldredge. The book speaks specifically to women and understanding who we are created to be in the context of Christianity and femininity in community and relationships.

Last Saturday Mom and Brandey came up to KC to spend the day with me. It was a great day of being together and shopping and loving. I was a little zombie-like a couple times due to a lack of sleep the night before, but even that was fun with Mom and Brandey laughing "with" me. Good day, really good day.

Jessica, Christy, and I have a cute little condo to move into. After much searching and a little stress, we found an amazing place. It is small but so cute, and blocks from the plaza! I am really excited to move in.

That is a little update on my life. I would love to tell you that I will try to do better at keeping up with blogging, but I am not making any promises, hah.
