For people who don't know, these events are similar to church camp. When I was in high school, I went to something very similar called Area One. Basically, the events is for high school students and our main objective is to rise up kingdom workers. These could be students who potentially go into ministries or it could be students doing good in whatever career they choose.
We had our first week this past week. It was awesome! I got to just sit back and enjoy each session. It was great! The music was awesome! The speakers were amazing! CIY really knows how to do everything! The students had a blast! The one thing that I missed was one of the girls that is like my best friend on event staff was on the team working. So my last week in Joplin for awhile, I didn't get to hang out with her. She did a great job working though. It was awesome watching her work. I'm becoming to realize that the people I work with are incredible people. I know that we are going to be great friends for a long time. I love that all 26 of us have become like family within the 3 weeks we have known each other.
Being on the road means that I'm about to start my job. I'm so excited but incredibly nervous. I've been trained on so much. I pray that I remember everything! It has been so much information. I'm so glad that I have a partner to work with. I pray that we will be able to get along and not get annoyed with each other because we will be around each other 24/7 for 3 weeks.
I will be away from my family for 3 weeks straight. I do think I've ever been away from my mom for that long at one time besides when I lived on campus but even then I'm not sure it was even a full 3 weeks. I know it's going to be great. I know that I'm going to have so much fun. I just really like being able to go home and get away for a little bit. I won't be able to do that. I will miss my family a lot. My mom has been so good to me and my group. Not only did she almost do all of my packing because I didn't have much time to do it. She made us brownies and cookies and she gave us cards for certain days of our tour. I'm so lucky and blessed to have her.
Well, I'm not going to be able to write as much now that I'm on tour. I'll write for sure over the weekend to let everyone know how I'm doing but I'm not sure if I will have time to do anything during the week except work. Our event starts Monday and ends Friday. Be praying for our students that they will be lead to be a kingdom worker. I also ask that you pray for me this week that I won't be tired and that I will remember everything that I'm suppose to be doing. It is my prayer that even while I'm working during our events that I'll be constant in what God wants be to do and that I won't take anything for granted. I also pray that my team and I will just have a lot of fun together while and while we are not working!
