I drove 5 hours today to NY and am currently settling into my new home. It's gorgeous here, and it's good to get away from my typical day-to-day schedule. We have some activities and a meeting tomorrow and then on Monday I think we start the official 'let's get down to business' training. As far as I know I'll be working about 52 hours per week and my free time is going to be spent running, training and getting ready for field hockey in the fall (I thought I'd start that summer mindset off right today so I went for nice run to explore the town not too far away from camp), hiking, devotionals, reading, hanging out with friends, and writing.
My run today took me along the lake I will be living on, and I found my way to a public beach (where by the way, I was the only person on aforementioned beach... talk about quaint and peaceful). I then walked down to the boat dock, sat on the end, took a deep breath, and I believe the words, 'God you are so good' came flooding into my mind to the beat of the waves lapping the side of the dock. Closing my eyes wasn't even an option, in fact, I was trying to convince my eyes they didn't even need to blink because I didn't want to miss a second of the incredible beauty in front of me. I find that there are few moments in life where you can truly say you feel in a state of peace.
Needless to say, I'm excited to be back on the water, where I find I feel most at home.
And even more than that, I'm looking forward to all that this summer holds.
