I made the dreadful mistake of looking at camp pictures. That should be very, very strictly off limits this close to camp. Because it reminds me of the ickiness of camp.
Not exactly ickiness...
I just don't want to go without my sisters. I miss them.
And I don't want to play the dumb sports.
I always get nervous like this. I know I'll have a great time. But I also know that I'll miss my family. And I'm so not outgoing.
I'm not in my element when I'm at camp.
But, Kay and Addy will be there. And they're practically sisters, so I'll be ok.
I'm dreading dance night the most, though. *shiver*
*think happy thoughts*
I'll get to spend the week away from a lot of worldy junk. Not all of it, but some!
I get to hear sermons TWICE a day!!
I get to have group studying.
I get to have devotional time in the morning.
I get to spend a Monday through Friday with Kayla, Adalie, Kerra, Caitlin, Corinne, and Justine!
I think that I should be praying about camp right now. That I should keep focused on the good things about camp, not the bad. Pray for the ones I'm struggling with. That I'll be kind in both actions and thoughts. And that I won't be judgmental of others. Because I don't know their heart.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6
I know what you mean...don't tell anyone, but I avoid looking at the camp pictures. I am not looking forward to the sports either...or all the pressure. I know I shouldn't be worried about these things, but if it makes you feel better, I'll let you know that I get *very* nervous about all of it too. I'm trying to be optimistic for Ad, though. I really want her to love it. She's a lot more outgoing then I am, so it might not be the same for her. I'm soo sorry you're dreading the dance night! Do the rest of your friends dance? I will be with you, Lizzie! We'll find somewhere to play games and take pictures; I will try to make it as fun as I can for you!! I really wish they would let us swim or something during that time. Wouldn't that be awesome?? Maybe we could talk about it with some of the counselors. I know we tried last time, but I can't help but think we should try again.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will be your sister for that week! Ok? I know it's not the same, but if you feel sad, lonely, or homesick you MUST tell me and we will sit on my bed, eating skittles and bawling our eyes out. :) I have a feeling I'm going to need you to be a sister for me too. I have Ad, but she's younger, so I'm the one that helps her out...not the other way around. And I don't know all your friends very well...so it's rather awkward for me. They're older too, so they always seem like they know so much more about everything. I'm *so* glad you will be there, though! And I really hope we get on the same team. Because if we don't, I'm going to be very scared.
Anyway, I hope I didn't make you even more nervous! Maybe it'll help to know that I feel exactly the way you described. We'll have fun! Just concentrate on the good part. That verse is perfectly fitting, and I needed to hear that again. Thank you!
I love you so much, Lizzie!! <3 <3
