Time Always Tells

As I'm listening to Christina Perri's Lovestrong album, I decided that tonight would be a good blogging night. Speaking of Christina Perri, Arms has got to be my favorite song on this album; other than that, there are a few others on there that I've really warmed up to as well. Give her a listen!

This week, I've been counting down the days until my "not-really-doing-anything" part of the summer is over. It kind of saddens me that I don't get to be lazy anymore; and I am also pretty nervous about training and then starting camps in the first week of July. Actually, I think I am more uneasy with the amount of traveling that will need to be done to get to and from camps every week. I've never been a big fan of road trips, and adding onto the fact that I will be the one that's driving half the time, so it's the one thing I'm not looking forward to.

That's about where it ends though, with the things I'm not excited about. Every other aspect of camps has me really stoked and looking forward to. Unfortunately, the deadly combination of bad weather and laziness has brought me to this point of being un-fit. Other than the Sundays of playing soccer and a couple odd occasions where I went outside to exercise, there wasn't much more of it. However, luckily it is not absolutely required of me to be in tip-top shape for camps because I am now a coach, not a player! What now?!

Actually, I'm probably not a very good coach either because I've never been paid to do it before (haha); meaning that there was never a standard for me to live up to. But other than that, I know the next two months will be a lot of fun and a huge challenge too. I look forward to coming out of the experience being stronger than I am right now.

So with a couple days left of my "do-nothing-days", I'll do my best to prepare myself - all the internal stuff, so to speak - for training and for camps. I have a feeling that this will be one of the more demanding things I will have had to endure through in quite a few years, so it adds to the incentive for me to be as strong as possible. Why? This is essentially an evangelism experience. Whenever we tread on the waters of spreading the Gospel, Satan will be active. So hopefully all goes well and we have a great summer of camps.

Time to break out of my shell and prepare myself for work!
