Outsider

I'm an outsider here.
Please note that I don't say that like it's a bad thing at all. It's just weird. What I mean, I think, is that being here and surrounded by people at all times is so strange to me. Everyone else seems to want to spend every moment of every day together, even when we have free time. Meanwhile, I've been content to spend my entire day off alone. I saw a movie alone and then spent the rest of the day laying in a hammock, happily lost in a book. I think the most I've spoken today has been like 2 sentences. And it has been lovely. I do love spending time with people and getting to know them, but it's exhausting after a while. I fear I may be being taken the wrong way by some of my peers. I'm not really sure there's anything to be done about that though. If I over extend myself I tend to lose my mind. And I'd rather that not happen here. I guess we'll see how it all plays out as the summer goes on. I'm probably just over thinking it and likely nobody even notices my not hanging out with them all the time.

In other news, we wrapped up our 2 weeks of staff training last night. I feel like my 2 weeks was less training and more a mad rush to get things ready, but yeah, that's over now. Tomorrow we have over 1,000 campers coming. It is going to be craziness! But I'm eager to get to work and see what life looks like when campers are actually here. There are so many unknown things in this adventure for everyone and it's going to be so cool to see God work in this amazing place.

Please be praying for campers, staff, volunteers, and just this place in general as we are about to jump into something huge!
