Dear Lord, Make Me Fruity

Where has the time gone?! It is so hard for me to believe that I am done my first year of college and now have exactly 2 weeks until I leave for camp. Never before have I had my entire summer full. Is this what's it's like to feel popular?! But in all seriousness, I am very excited! I guess I'm just making this post in the hopes that I can ask for prayer.

I enjoy sleep more than the average human, and the more I speak with some of my fellow employees for the summer, the more I am coming to realize that I will be running on very little sleep. This would not be an issue for a few days, but I am a little worried that after a few weeks I will become run down at times and lack the energy to keep up with the campers.



Please pray that God will provide for me the energy to be a positive, enthusiatic counselor who will be able to keep up with the campers, whether it's the first week of camp or the last. Also pray that I would possess and hold dear all of the Fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control) seeing as they would be more than helpful during camp!



I also enjoy being home. I love my friends, my families (biological, extended, church, animal), and the familiarity, and I have never been away from home for more than a month at a time. While I am very excited to serve and begin this new chapter, I am also a little nervous.



Pray that the Lord gives me peace during the up and coming transition. Pray that He would guide me as I choose the location in which I would like to serve and pray that He would give me a servant's spirit, one that is not concerned with myself, but with those around me;



In regards to both camp and BVS please pray that I would be a light for the world and that my spirit would be humble. Please also pray that I give God all of the glory; these are His hands after all and I would be foolish to think otherwise.

I'd like to thank those who are already praying for me. God truly does answer prayer (maybe not always how we would like or expect) and He has truly granted me an incredible peace throughout this whole process as well as guidance. I am so blessed to have such Godly friends and family!
