with the semester pretty much halfway through everyone has been trying to figure out what they are going to be doing for the summer. some of us will be staying in blacksburg, others will be going home to work, some will be going to various places to work, and i will be going to michigan. yes this is true. with a lot of my other summer plans falling through until about a month ago i had planned on staying in blacksburg, working at some chain establishment (the man as evan would call it), and just bro-ing out and living life. i had come fairly content with this decision but was still a little uneasy on whether this was actually what i was supposed to be doing for the summer. within less than week from making this decision i received a phone call from timber wolf lake, a young life camp in michigan, offering me the job of sound intern. now ill be the first to admit im not the most highly qualified for this job, but i spent a month last summer doing the same exact thing so i felt comfortable with the job aspect. the next thought was, is this what im supposed to be doing. i took some thought and just had a really confident feeling about it. it was almost as if God placed this job in my hands and said trust me. i never once had the thought that i would be spending my summer in michigan. i literally know one person in the entire state of michigan. but i accepted the job. so i will be spending from may-august in this state; serving the Lord. i envision myself as a kid going in for his first day of kindergarten. nervous and apprehensive but knows that he has to go. i envision God tapping me on the butt as i hop on the bus and saying no worries, were doing this together. it just happened to work out that hypes justin and i had already planned to go visit miles, my friend who works at timber wolf, over spring break. and thats what we did. we headed up sunday and stayed at hypes' friend's house in akron, oh. we then finished the trip monday and spent monday at camp checking everything out. everyone was really friendly and excited to meet the guy from virginia. the next day we went up to traverse city, which is actually the cherry capital of the US, to walk around and see lake michigan. we all had a blast hanging out and just spending quality time together. then on wednesday we said see ya soon to miles and came all the way back to virginia. it was a haul but we did it. 16 hours of driving in all, it was insane. hypes drove for 13 of those hours. he decided at the end of the day that he enjoys driving. seriously. im now home from my spring break in the snow and will most likely head back to willard on saturday. one love.
