My summer is just about to begin.

There are about 6,840,507,003 in the world. Of those people I was one of a very small amount to work as a Crew Manager for Group Workcamp this summer. There is only one week until I will arrive in Colorado with about 115 other college students who were chose to serve this summer as well. I am not really sure what I am getting myself into. Today I started getting a little nervous. Last night I had a very odd dream all I remember was the checking in with our supervisor and having butterflies the size of whales in my stomach. I just realized that I am going into the best summer of my life, but I am so nervous. 

Today I plan to begin the challenge of laundry. I have a huge pile of dirty clothes that I probably will take with me for the summer. I am not sure what is too much or what is not enough. It doesn't help that I have no idea where I will be during the summer. I could be in the extreme north where it gets cool during the summer or I could be in Texas where it gets 120degrees. That might make packing difficult. I will just have to pack for every occasion. Good thing we can bring two suitcases. ;) 

I have no idea who I will be with this summer either, but I am looking forward to meeting them. I have been praying for them every once in a while. I hope they are just as excited as me. We will be working together all summer and travelling together as well. I am sure that God and Stacie have matched us up and we are going to do great this summer. 

For those who aren't aware of the inner workings of Group Workcamp. High school youth come from around the country to one city and do home repair projects on houses that are in need in the nearby area. My partners for the summer and I will be setting up the camp and making sure it runs smoothly for the youth and adults, with the help of wonderful volunteers. 

Even though I am as nervous as a pig in a bacon factory. Who knows what this summer will hold in store for me. All I know is that this summer is going to be one of the best summers ever cause I will be serving my lord in a completely new way. Yesterday at church my pastors sermon talked about how we have been so blessed and it is our duty to go back into the world and bless others. This sermon hit home with me cause that is my plan for the summer. The nerves will go away and this summer is going to rock. I searched quotes about being nervous and this one really helped me!

One week. 7 days. 168 hours. 10,080 minutes. 604,800 seconds. My summer is just about to begin.
