In the meantime, the summer is still in front of me and this summer will be a summer unlike any of the others. I will be spending my summer surrounded by Christians, having a central focus on ministry, all the while not having to switch back and forth between parents' houses. Starting Monday through August 5th I will be a counselor at SUMMER'S BEST TWO WEEKS!!! SB2W (see video here) is a Christian sports camp located in Boswell, PA where I will spend my entire summer telling kids about Jesus and playing every sport you can think of. Um hello, besides Heaven itself, this is my PARADISE! I'm not entirely sure what to expect, but all I know is that this summer is going to be amazing. Papa has truly blessed me with this opportunity and He's confirmed over and over again that He wants me at SB2W this summer. I won't have my phone or computer but for a couple days every two weeks (and I'm really excited to be separated from technology) so stay tuned for updates then. I'm PUMPED! I can't wait to see what Papa will do with this summer. Be praying for the kids that I'll be leading and for lives and hearts to be changed, for the other counselors and staff, and that my own walk and relationship with God will be strengthened, renewed, and nourished. See ya at the other end of summer!

t-minus 6 months
So what's on the horizon now? Come December I'm GRADUATING. Yes, I'm graduating in December and not next May. I was able to take enough summer classes to graduate a semester early and it saves me from paying another semester of tuition. In addition and an even greater praise, I'm graduating DEBT-FREE! God provided like crazy and I never had to take out a student loan. As for post-graduation plans, I'm praying about spending a year overseas starting next summer and then going to seminary for my master's. Until then, I will be an assistant softball coach at my high school where I will also hopefully have a long-term substitute teaching job. I've had the offer to be an assistant coach on the table for almost 3 years and after lots of prayer and confirmation I accepted it last week. I'm really excited to be a coach at my alma mater not only because of the ridiculous amount I love to coach, but also because I've seen what a mission field it is. God has already opened so many doors for me to share and be the light of Christ. It's a dark place in desperate need of His love. Another a bonus of being in NoVa next spring is the fact that I get to spend those 6-7 months at my home church, Grace Bible Church, who is indeed a family to me. So as you can tell, a whole new chapter of my life is coming and although it might be a tad bit terrifying, it is so exciting. While I'm going to miss being at VT terribly, I know it's a necessary ending; the next part of my adventure with God is just beginning.
In the meantime, the summer is still in front of me and this summer will be a summer unlike any of the others. I will be spending my summer surrounded by Christians, having a central focus on ministry, all the while not having to switch back and forth between parents' houses.
