Off to Camp

As of this past week I am officially finished with the school year and my temporary job at Worth Your Wait doing the abstinence education! So tomorrow I leave for Virginia Beach to work at a camp as a counselor for the summer! I will have my own cabin of boys ages 8-13 as well as an assistant counselor most likely a high school student. Camp lasts for one week so each week I will have a new group of campers. It is a Christian camp so our goal is to share the gospel with the kids and hopefully to see campers come to know Christ.

This summer I will be praying about where to attend school in the fall for my Master's degree in Pastoral Studies. I have applied at both Liberty University and Regent University and am praying for God to direct me to one or the other. Regent is in Virginia Beach and last week I went for a visit and later that evening I was walking on the beach and I was sure that God spoke to me that I was to attend school there but I think it was the ocean talking, hmm. Well we will see.

I won't have many opportunities to update the blog this summer but I will try to post pics from camp from time to time.

Where's Austin?

Well I know I haven't updated in a while so here is what I have been up to lately...
Basically I have been traveling all over Central Virginia and even to the coast! Traveling in Central VA has been for Worth Your Wait teaching abstinence which sorry to say WYW staff but I am sooooo sick of talking about sex all of the time! Only one more week of that though and the school year will be over for us at WYW! Then as it looks I will most likely be working a summer job at a Christian camp near the coast as a camp counselor for 8-13 year olds. I am also applying to be a Bible and History teacher at a small Christian School near Lynchburg in which I would start in August. In the middle of all of this I have still found the time to visit my two most favorite places in Virginia (Sharp Top Mountain and Virginia Beach)! This was a few weeks ago so there were still no leaves on the trees on the mountain tops. It's nice and green now though!

pics!

At the top of Sharp Top Mountain in Bedford County Virginia. I made it up in a record 45 minutes! Well it's a record for me anyway!
At the top!

Crap! No cursing at Virginia Beach! What a culture shock coming home to this!
Me and the girls at the beach!
Even though I think it's a good picture Mallory and Maggie would kill me if they knew I posted this!
