Absence

Hello blog!
It has been so long since we have joined forces to talk about my life/thoughts.
I really don't think anyone reads this, except for me.
Maybe I'll post the link on facebook or something. Haha.
I went back and read my other entries and it's weird how a lot of the things I said I still think about now.
I'm still wondering "Who is Emily?"
Maybe that's something that everyone wonders about from time to time.
I may not know exactly who I am, but I know that I am a loved, redeemed child of God. And that's the most important part to know about!

This summer was amazing. Not that I expected anything less than that.
Being an RC was a lot different, but it was a lot of fun. God blessed me with so many amazing campers, VCs, program teams, and fellow staffers. It was just an overall great experience.
I'm so thankful for camp. So thankful that God has let me be apart of the ministry there, and let it be a ministry to me, too. Camp is home and I absolutely love it. Love the community that makes camp what it is.
I'm going to camp tomorrow to facilitate ropes. Wooo!

Since the end of the summer I haven't been very busy. I interviewed for a position in Chicago with an urban missions organization. I didn't get it, but it was still really promising and I hope I get an opportunity to work with them in the future. I'm still actively pursuing mission work. You'd think it would be pretty easy to get hooked up with something, but it isn't. I've been doing a lot of searching, and a lot of waiting. Sometimes that's what you have to do. God has blessed me with patience and I know that with every door that closes, there is another door out there that is open, waiting for me to find it and walk through it.

I will write more later today!
If anyone's reading this, I hope you are having a fabulous day. Love!
-Em
