today was a long day. we had the first day of our gsp camp in camp corazon, toril and i laughed at the irony of me attending camps now while i missed out on all these things way back in high school (since we had cat instead of scouting).
it was scorching hot the entire day, we couldn't help but get our skins burnt as we had to stay under the sun for the "challenging physical activities" especially prepared for our girl scouts. i had to thank the Lord for this opportunity to be part of the lives of these girls in perhaps one of the most crucial stages in their lives... adolescence.
i am touched by their innocence, nostalgic because of the way they have fun, alert because of the many wrong things media teaches them and challenged to make a difference in their lives. i know handling high schoolers is a tough job (i never imagined myself to be in this position back then) yet i know this is where God wants me. this is where He could use me best and i thank him for the strength to move on and the inspiration to be a better version of who i am each day... that He may use my life to teach these young ladies authentic lessons about life.
