Middle School Camp!
everyone knows, summer has been going on for almost a month now. The summer kicked off with me helping at my church's middle school camp, which was the first time I've ever done that. I was super blessed and honored to be one of the high school students in our youth ministry to be picked to help. The group I helped with were seventh grade girls, whom I knew because some of them were my close friend's sister's or they go to my school. I was only a high school helper, but I got to know the girl's so well, and got to know my leader who I worked with all week. It was a great experience for me socially, leadership wise, and spiritually. Ever since choir tour of this year, I had a gut feeling that I should help at middle school camp, which God allowed to happen as He had in His planed for me to do. The team I was on was the gold team. GO..LD..GOLD! GO GOLD! That's right, we had the most wicked sweet cheer of them all. Even if the blue team was pretty close to wicked sweet. (This place about to blueeeeeee. blueeeeeee. This place about to blue! *while blue baloons are being hit all over the place) So many middle schoolers came to know Christ and many came to make some amazing commitments! The week was an amazing and fun time. Can't wait to help next year!
MAN DOWN! RACHAEL, YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR HEAD WHEN YOUR FOLLOWING MY FINGER.
Once back from camp, it was my birthday that sunday. It was fun and all, but the next day was one of the worst days ever. Even if I don't remember it. I went to volleyball practice, like any other day, and I was being super aggressive like always and as I went to get a ball I dove for it and all that can come to mind is that. Apparently, I went to dive for it and I hit my head really really hard!!! I was out for ten minutes, took coach awhile to get me to roll over, coach moved her finger back and forth and I couldn't just follow it, I had to move my head to follow it. She said. "You like as high as a kite right now babe. And that is seriously NOT.GOOD." Which come to find out, I only have a minor minor concussion. But, my memory is very foggy and I have random headachs that are of the devil himself. I just know that God is going to be with me through this bump in the road. The plus side to this is that just today, june 24, I was good enough to hit the ball, serve, and play a quick game. :]
'I got my toes in the water..'
The week after camp I went to the beach with my family. It was a grand ol' time! It was the week I had to keep it easy because of my head injury, which is totally a positive since I got to lay out everyday in the hot Florida sun! Love mey some sun :] Once we were there, it was just all relaxing and drinking Arnold Palmers. Which are the most delightful thing I've drank in the longest time.
