Someone once said,
"Time does not change us...it just unfolds us."
I would have to completely agree. I had no idea what this summer had in store for me...I still don't know, but I have somewhat of an idea. The last two weeks have been some of the most stressful weeks of training I have ever had. I have been up no later than 7:00 in the morning to work all day and then hang out with all of my new wonderful friends until the wee hours of the morning, like midnight or later. With such little amount of sleep and such intense house of training for all of my responsibilities, I am, to say the least, exhausted.
This quote I found means a lot to me. Like I said, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. This is not something I say lightly or often. But the time I have spent here in Colorado with the amazing people have not changed me, for I am still goofy Tyler Wobbrock, but the time here has started to unfold me into the person I feel I am supposed to be. I have gone through so many difficult problems in my first two years of college and the time spent here with these great examples of Christians and my Lord, has already started to affect me, and I haven't even begun to serve those who I am meant to spiritually affect this summer. I have seen so many things in my life changed in two weeks. I have seen God come back into my life like he was before college had begun. Honestly, I forgot this feeling. So, overall, I look forward to this summer with such high anticipation. Who knows where the Lord will take me or how he will use me. From the suburbs of Dallas all the way to New Haven, CT.
On top of the amazing time I have had, I have met some people I will call my best friends for the rest of my life. Who would have thought that in two weeks I would have built such close relationships. I never thought that it would have happened like this. These last two weeks have been like Workcamp on crack with meeting people. Seriously, the group of friends I have here I have gotten so close to. There are so many people I cannot even begin to name them. They are literally some people I will call my best friends. I would love to tell you all about them, but I don't want to make others jealous. It has actually begin to hit me that I am leaving these people who have become family on Sunday for the longest time. Some I will see, but the chances of me seeing some of them are going to be a little hard. Which is really tough right now. Who knows, maybe I can throw Summer Staff Derby Party??

These are just some of my experiences. I look forward to what God has in store for me. This summer is all up to him. Where I go and what I do. I cannot wait to see what will happen. If my summer is anything in comparison to training, I am going to be embarking on the best summer of my life.
Back to the quote I started with, "Time does not change us...it unfolds us..." Time has already begun to unfold me, and I can foresee the time I will spend serving will unfold me even more. I cannot wait.
