mikao's world

back home

i made it home this morning at 6:30am... long trip. i went to Medicine Hat sunday night with some friends and we stayed overnight there, missing the big snowstorm that hit southern Alberta thankfully. Monday we drove to Calgary and saw many many cars in the ditch, and Monday night i took the bus north and arrived home this morning.

my younger sister leaves for the summer tomorrow, so i only got to see her for one day... but one day is better than nothing :)

and just when i awoke this morning, and was still completely groggy and out of it, one of the youth pastors from Renton called... and regretted to inform me that i did not get the job. so, unfortunately, i will not be seeing Seattle this summer. :(

but, this does make my summer plans much clearer, i don't have to make a decision as to which job to take, and i am pretty sure it's God's will that i work back at camp again. so, yes, i will be back in Ontario sometime around May 30th, i still have to get my plane ticket and such but that is when i am supposed to be there. i will be a program director and secret service team leader (the s.s.t. is the group of 14 year olds who do maintenance and work in the kitchen), i'll be doing discipleship and leardership with them... lots of fun stuff. i'm looking forward to it, i am hoping for an awesome summer.

yes, i am dissapointed that i won't be going to renton. i really think that their internship program would be an awesome experience. but working at my camp again will also be an awesome experience. i have the experience of last summer to draw on and improve on. i know what needs to change. i know what i want to improve on. i know the people and love them. i won't be starting from scratch. i'll get to see lots of friends again over the course of the summer.

and i know that God will teach me much. i look forward to seeing that.
