And all of a sudden it's Saturday. Whoa. It seems like yesterday the trainers were all gathering to prepare for the incoming summer staff and now we're almost ready to send them into the real world. I'm (unsurprisingly) sentimental about this! I've grown pretty close with this wonderful group of Program Leaders and it feels strange to me that just tomorrow we'll be starting our cross country adventures to our locations. We're all gonna be separated! But I realized last night when I was passing out everyone's hard earned red shirts, they're ready. These Program Leaders have worked their butts off memorizing, practicing, learning, asking endless questions, and now they get to fly on their own. I'm excited to hear all the stories of their greatness and how the Lord used them to influence the thousands of campers they have this summer. Hard to let them go, but I can't wait to see what they do!
As for me, it hasn't quite hit me yet that I'm going to San Diego. Yes, I'm obviously really excited about it, but I still have this strange mentality that I know what I'm doing. (And now that I've said that God's surely going to show me that I do not.) I don't think I'll fully grasp what I'm doing this summer until I get to our church. This is a new summer with new groups, new youth, new program, new everything, and God is going to challenge me in different ways. I just pray I can rely fully on him for all I need this summer.
On another note, this is my address this summer:

There is a Starbucks across the street... wink wink nudge nudge ;)
