I Wanna go to Rockfish, HEY!

Kinda ripped off the idea of writing this from my dear friend Brooke. Camp Rockfish has been coming up A LOT lately. I'm currently missing it in an abnormal way. Last week a co-worker showed me a picture of a snake she almost stepped on while on the trail. It brought me back to the time me and Brian Spanner had to kill this huge copperhead behind the pool. I'm absolutely terrified of snakes but I turned into beast mom counselor mode because I knew I had to kill it so it wouldn't bite a kid so I helped and it died. At work we're currently planning a youth ultimate frisbee tournament and lately ALL I wanna do is play frisbee. I remember falling in love with ultimate frisbee at camp. Whenever we had time, the staff would literally be throwing the frisbee. In the middle of the road, in parking lots, with campers, in the staff lounge, one night until 2am. We just strapped on our chacos (or most times went barefoot) and played on the play field for hours. That summer at camp I learned more about myself and Jesus than I did on summer project I think. I don't think I was pushed on project like I was at camp. I was hot and hungry and sleepy and running short on patience at all times for 11 weeks. And God provided for me and taught me more about Himself than He ever really has. I understood what it meant to be a servant and I read Romans 12 every day for 11 weeks to remind me what my body is to be used for. All this to say I think being around camp was the calling I never really realized unfortunately. I was a rising senior in college and around that time you have to think about real professional jobs and stuff. The more I work in Recreation here in Rock Hill, the more I find that's where its at for me. Sure I would love to own the Panthers or market for the Gamecocks. But the more I think about my future (whenever that will be) I think recreation is what I might be wired for. I love seeing kids get to be kids. Watching kids play and get dirty and get excited about mud is a good thing. Also, my chaco tan is forming. yes.
