Remember that old adage, 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'? ... yea.. it's kinda like that...

I'm not even going to attempt to hide it.

This has been a lot harder than I had initially anticipated. Like the quote says, 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks'... well, I'm living proof that if that old dog has forgotten even the old tricks, you're pretty much up a creek without a paddle. haha...

Apparently four years was longer that I had thought. I came into the Army camp all rearing to go... and let me tell you, that first day--- kicked my behind. I had forgotten how hard it was to work in the kitchen all day cooking, cleaning, etc. A few days we had some help, but for the few times it just Aryelle and I... wow. Just wow. Not to mention that I had forgotten how we used to do some of the simplest things! I felt as if every five minutes I was asking, 'Aryelle!!! How......?' (fill in the blank with EVERYTHING you can imagine kitchen-esque.) And while some things I really had to struggle to remember, other things came naturally as if I hadn't been gone a day... (One morning we were fixin' flapsticks when I began arranging them properly before I even realized I hadn't asked Aryelle how to do it...) Of course, by mid-week I was catching on again and felt confident even with my loss of four years. The Army was incredible as well... they were great company and the music was divine to listen to. All in all, I came away feeling incredibly blessed and honored that I had had the opportunity to not only serve the Army, but sharpen up my skills from long ago... (I definitely needed it).

As for my internship, well... that'll have to be another post this weekend. I will tell you this-- I've been working on the research aspect by interviewing camp directors, and it has been quite fruitful!! I feel that God is truly leading in an incredible direction; and I can hardly wait to see all the forms His work will take.
Things you can pray about::
- Focus
- Direction
- Camp Cowen Staff ((They come in SUNDAY!! I'm SOOOO EXCITED!!))


~Until then, 
With much love in Christ, 
I bid you adieu~
