So Soon

It's hard to imagine that I only have one week of soccer camps left. This summer has been such a blessing to me. It's been so tough but so enjoyable. As of right now, it can easily go down as one of my favorite summers of all time.

Truth be told, I didn't expect for this job to have treated me this way. I feel like I've grown quite a bit in terms of my soccer ability; I'd actually be shocked if I didn't regain a lot of my form from the days that I played a lot because of the amount of times I get to touch the ball in a day. And as for the spiritual side of things, the summer has really been a summer of confirmation for me. I know that ministry is where God wants me, but you can never be reminded enough and have enough of that assurance that you are being backed by the one who wrote history. Having that renewed feeling of knowing that this is where God wants me brings all the joy I need to get up everyday.

As awesome as coaching has been, it needs to end some time. I don't really want to go back to school right now. The biggest reason is because I'm nervous about moving into residence. You should know by now, I'm anti-social. Haha. It's stupid that something so little is all that holds me back from being what I am capable of being - it's always this way. But even though I am scared, I think it'll turn out okay. Part of the "excitement" of living life is that we never know what's happening tomorrow. I do believe, however, that moving into the residence is the right decision for me. So at least I have some confidence in knowing that it'll be fun.

Anyways, our last week will be in Calgary. It's going to be a long drive tomorrow because I hate long drives unless I'm with the people that I would die to be with (hypothetically speaking), and it's going to be blazing hot - my car doesn't have air conditioning. So after the painful drive, I'm going to have a great week coaching my last week for AIA.

This summer is ending too soon!
