It's Official...



It's Official…
My contract has been signed...
I, Laura Catherine Waters, will be a Counselor at Sky Ranch this summer!
I am so incredibly excited for this adventure.
I know it won't be easy, but it's something I've been praying about for a LONG time.

I have wanted to return to Sky as a counselor ever since I was a camper 6 years ago.


If you're reading this:
Please be praying for Sky Ranch, our future campers, and all the counselors!


I can't wait for this summer, and to meet my precious girls!
I know I am going to see the Lord working in ways I’ve never witnessed before and that at times I will be too exhausted to function but all I have to say is: BRING IT ON!

Oh, and something else that's cool is my little brother will be a Sky 4 camper this year! How cool would that be if I get to see him growing in the Lord while having the time of his life at camp?!

Life

My oh my, I have lost touch with my blog once again...
I promise myself every time that 'Okay, I am going to keep up with this, I have so many things I want to write about' yet, every single time I sit down to write my mind goes 57298 different directions and I never know what to start with. However, I think 'life' is where I should start.
I love my life. I love the direction it is heading, and I am anxious and excited about my future.
The things I am most thankful for right now are:
My faith--> On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand!
My family-->Mommy and Grandma, I can't wait for you to get here this weekend!
My friends-->Things in my life are changing, but I'm so thankful you are there!
My job-->You came at the right time, and that is the best gift in the world.
My job this summer--> You deserve your own post, so after I make a fax tomorrow I will write about you!
My car--> Oh Hyundai, I loathed you when you first arrived in my garage, but now I'm beginning to be quite fond of ya lil' guy!
Things I'm struggling with:
MATH--> Oh my, math... I pray so often you become easier for me
My future job--> I know I am supposed to be a teacher, but taking all these 'basics' I am taking right now are sure making you seem like you're so far off and unattainable.
My future husband-->I am praying for you, I know you are a good man and one that will lead me and our family on a wonderful walk with Christ and our marriage will be exactly what the Lord has planned for us, but wow, it is hard not knowing who you are yet. But just know that I love you already.
My future children--> Well babies, once I meet your Daddy you will be much easier to pray for, but know that I am praying for your sweet lives already. I can't wait to meet you all some day and help to raise you to become incredible men and women of God.
And once again, MATH--> I have a test in you tomorrow Business Calculus, and I am NOT looking forward to you, but I have studied for you... so please try to not destroy me, please?
I hope everyone has had a wonderful week, don't worry about your tests, you are all going to get A+++'s.
'My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' - Colossians 2:2-3

I have to memorize this verse so I figured I would type it onto my blog :)
