New things...

Well, there have been several new things that have been happening in my life lately. Things that can make it quite hectic to live with. The one major thing that has been happening in my life is I am working at The Springs Camp again this summer. But this year I will be counseling instead of working on maintenance. It is going to be a huge step in my life so far, and I pray that the Lord will give me strength and wisdom through out the summer. I have been learning a lot in staff training so far. One thing that I have had to handle a great deal of is patience. Sometimes dealing with work and people can become quite overwhelming at times, but patience is the key! It is amazing how different a situation can turn out when the proper actions (patience) is taken. More so I have also been forcing myself to try to step out of my comfort zone and try new things in my life and daily routine. This has seemed to be effective at times and not so at others. But none the less has been a great help in my life. I am still learning and hopefully have more to talk about by time training is over!

Another thing in my life that is new is college! yeesh college can get busy and frustrating so fast! But my first year of college went great for the most part! Grace Bible College was a great place to start off for the first year. But now that the year is over I am already starting to look at the next! and this year I will be attending GRCC. Though my major at this current time is up in the air. I need lots of prayer time to be able to figure things out and where the Lord wants to place me. It is also a struggle to get things all around school wise. With working at camp it makes it very difficult to get things registered and all that for this next year. That does not even include living arrangements yet! But that should be ok, living with Joe this next year will be a lot of fun in and of its self.

One more thing is friendships. They are so very hard to keep up at sometimes! there are old friends and new ones that are just all over the place! Some old ones want you to go back to the way things were, where the new ones want to start down a whole new path! both can be challenging at times. Some are old fueds and can be very uninviting most the time making things difficult. But then there are those ones that just seem to make you happy! The ones that you have started and never want to lose. Lately I have found one of those relationships. The person is absolutely amazing and fun to be with! Even to the point of a small crush in some incidents. But that one will be taken slow for sure. If there has anything I have learned about watching and being in relationships, it is that a relationship can kill a friendship. and I do not want to do that in this case! This person to me is not worth losing like that, they are to important to me already. So for the time being, friends shall continue to be friends :D and that couldnt make me more happy. But if things change, I pray that a friendship will always be a layton image in out relationship forever....
