Call it Selfish, but it's My Time

My whole life I have struggled with time management and sometimes I see the light on my struggle.

Being home this summer has been really good and I am really learning how important time is. Like my post below this, I indicated that at camp I have 144 hours to be intentional with sweet little lives. The same applies to being at home. I don't get a lot of time here in Bartlesville very often, so now that I have it, I treasure it.

I treasure it so much that I am having a hard time giving it away, and honestly, I am OKAY with that. So, I apolgize if I don't go to a party or stop by a social gathering, it's nothing personal. I get 2 more weeks with my precious family and that's about where my time is going. I have a little brother who is growing up so fast and its hard to keep up with him, but I know that making an effort to try and keep up with him is well worth it.

I want to stay as connected to the people that will always be here for me and always love me. My family is my priority and I have 2 weeks to get to know them a little better than I already do.

2 Weeks. Go.

144

In three weeks I get the privelege of serving God in a very unique way. Camp. I am determined to not be apart of the clique statement of being "a Christian camp counselor." At A&M and other places too, everyone is expected to work at camp and do that "Christian college kid camp thing." I refuse. I don't think that camp is to be joked about in that fashion. I am given the lives of 8 little girls for 6 days. 144 hours.

I have been calculating how many hours that I have in order to give myself perspective. In our lives 144 hours is a blink. I have a "blink" to show these girls how much their Father in Heaven loves them. Challenging? I think YES!

It is such a blessing to be given the trust that Pine Cove is blessing me with. I feel honored to get to serve 6-11 year olds. I must admit, that Satan was really try to tell me that I just wasn't good enough to work with older kids, WHAT A STUPID LIE. Anywhere the Lord puts you is not "below" you and not a place where He cannot work. You can pray that the devil stays away and stops telling me things to get me away from my goal. Which is the fact that I have 144 hours.
