43 days til Camp...I wish I was going today.

I wish I could just be done with school and just be at camp already. This is a very busy week for me and I just wish it was over but God is good and He is faithful and He will help me get through this week. For one of my methods classes we had to write a short journal entry about anything we want and I of course chose camp. so I would like to share that with you all. 43 days til camp and it can't come soon enough.

Camp. The place I've been going the past 12 summers. My second home. Camp where I've met my best friends. The place where I've made life-changing decisions. Camp is where I've laughed, I've cried, I've fought with people and have lived. Camp is where I go when I need to get away from life. No matter how long I've been gone I feel at home. I feel love.
Whenever I see camp friends I smile and my heart skips a beat. Seeing them is like seeing family. You get so close so fast. You have to rely on each other to make it through. Camp is where I've learned so many things and been taught so much.
Camp is for the camper. Sometimes I hate that motto because I am forced to face my fears. heights. snakes. spiders and paintballs. But I wouldn't trade it for anything, anything at all.
