Hey all,
Just wanted to give you an update on my life at the present moment, though within 1 day of posting this, it will most likely change again. 
That seems to be the epitomy of my summer–everything constantly changing around.
Many of you know that I did not get hired at TCCS Day Camp full time as I had planned. It threw me into a slight state of chaos as I tried to figure out how to make up those extra hours. But, God has been providing a little here and a little there, so I can’t complain. Babysitting has really picked up which has been a blessing, people from church have called me up, a friend who nannies is moving to Kansas City, and I was able to get in on the kids she usually takes care of, and just posting on facebook that I was around and available to babysit seemed to help spread the word. I will be doing babysitting at least twice a week if not more. I am also working at Moonlight Amphitheatre again this summer. I had orientation tonight and it went well. The newly remodeled theatre facility is beautiful, but I’m a little concerned that it will be making more work for us as we try to bring chairs back and forth around the new windy walkways and staircases. I just need to remember that it’s a fabulous workout, and being sore the next day only means that I got in enough exercise the day before! Haha. I’m excited for the season: 42nd Street, Phantom, and Cats. Jenee has thankfully called me in for a couple days at Day Camp, and although she can’t give me set days each week to work, I’m hoping that I can at least score a couple a week. We went to the tide pools today, and I got SUNBURNED! Yikes, that hasn’t happened in a while! Beach day is tomorrow, so I will be more prepared. Haha. So that’s the work situation. At first it was looking like I wasn’t working anywhere this summer which was a huge concern. The bills still come whether I work or not. But, as my mom said, God is providing me just enough manna for one day. I can live off of what he provides for me and need to trust that he will send more the next day. It’s scary having to live in faith of what he will do since the future is unknown. I think of times that people have prayed in complete faith that God will heal someone, and he ends up taking them to heaven instead. I like to plan ahead, and have a good understanding of what is to come, but God is saying I can’t do it that way this summer. Hopefully my head is still attached by the end of the summer, it’s going to be a crazy ride!
I’m feeling a little better about church. I went last weekend, and although I sat alone, I still enjoyed the service. I hope James will let me sing sometime; I really miss being up there, though my voice is still not 100% back to normal after having the flu. There’s a slight chance I might be doing the Lifehouse Everything Skit after all, even though it fell through the first time around. I was babysitting at my pastor’s house last night and he mentioned our other pastor recently saw the skit and was stoked on it. My pastor mentioned I had wanted to do it and recommened he talk to me if he can help me get the people I need to do it. We’ll see how that works out. Hahahaha, my pastor also told me that his two interns were asking about me on Sunday–wanting to know who I was. Two problems though: 1) they don’t live in CA…one is from South Carolina and the other from Texas and 2) they’re both in high school. Don’t know why it is that guys that are too young for me or too old for me are the ones who notice my existence, but the ones my own age seem to look right past. (not that I am looking to date right now, definitely not–just one of those funny things.) My pastor, gotta love him, didn’t tell them anything except that I was too old for them. Haha. I haven’t been to Seven24 in a while. Part of me is nervous because I feel like many of my friends from there aren’t there anymore because they’ve spread out across the world for various summer projects. I’m shy already, and it’s hard for me to meet new people. Another part of me is nervous because I know Brian is leaving soon. I hate change and I seem to be fooling myself that if I don’t go, then I don’t have to deal with him leaving firsthand. I don’t know if they’ve even found someone to take over yet. I suppose I’ll go this Sunday though, once Moonlight starts up, I’ll probably be working Sunday evenings and won’t even have that option, and I do enjoy singing there. I love the songs we do.
There’s probably more things that have happened, but my mind is drawing a blank. I’m halfway done with my scrapbook of New York. I made delicious manicotti this week. My parents’ 28th anniversary is Saturday. <3 My online class is going swell, maybe my A will bring my GPA up again. I’m crossing my fingers that I don’t work on the evening I get to enroll in my classes or I’m going to have to walk my dad through it on my 15 minute break. That could be dangerous if the courses I want aren’t open and I have to switch things around. I went to the San Diego Fair with my parents Tuesday. It was really crowded, but a pleasant evening. I saw three people I knew.
And, it’s time for me to get everything ready for tomorrow. Babysitting at 7am, beach day at 10am, biking with Nicole at 4:30pm, studying for my CSET at 7pm, and hopefully a chat with Farah sometime in there too!
