I have come so far since I graduated high school. I feel like such a different person - more freedom, more depth in my relationship with God, more of a desire to change. It's funny; personal growth is like a drug. It's so addicting! I used to be such a stubborn person: I didn't want people to point out my flaws and I thought I was fine just the way I was. When God changed me last summer, it hurt at first. My pride hurt and I thought other people were just not seeing me the right way, but once I saw the product of growth and how openness to change affected my relationship with God, I became an addict! This summer, I asked how I could grow and change. I have come back from camp completely rejuvenated with a new outlook on who I am, how others see me, and relationships.
This half of the summer, I dealt more with the me on the inside (which then transformed the me on the outside) rather than "hard campers." I saw God do some great things in campers, but above that I saw Him do great things in me. Leaving camp was really hard, but I believe I am supposed to be back next summer. And I am excited about this next school year as well!
Although I already have Greek homework. And I need to buy ballet shoes. Yikes! It will definitely be a year of new things, but might as well keep the trend going!
