So August has come about. I just can't believe that this summer flew before I even knew it. It came about and my time at Push The Rock is bound to come to an end in about 2 weeks. This is sad as leaving somewhere is always very sad. But as it was said pain is temporary. I had experienced it and often times it was temporary unless you decide to make it permanent. I feel that there are memories that were definitely created this summer. They will stick with me for a good amount of years.

Coming in to Push The Rock at the start of June I was nervous but excited! It was the first time I was working camps and somehow I managed to happen to adjust quick. There were lots of people I did not know which often gets me nervous. However, the good side was there were people from Messiah working the camps which was quite awesome! I feel as though I had started slow but now am ending strong. The fact that most people here were coaches and I am a photographer I felt different at times. But I had to remember what had been taught. We are doing this for the glory of God not for man. As Colossians 3:23 states, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters". I had to constantly remind myself of that and it is a good lesson to learn and hold with you.

This summer consisted of travelling up and down the Lehigh Valley and Buxmont Region of Pennsylvania. I was to go to camps to take pictures and have fun with the children. Although I wasn't in most of the pictures I was fine because I enjoyed what I did. We also had so much fun with the staff as we hung out quite a good amount. At times we would go to the President's house for swimming and games. We also went to a Ironpigs Baseball Game alongside Dorney Park where it was a good time for the staff to bond together. I must say those times were memorable and precious. I do not think I want to let it go. Worst off I do not want this summer to end yet. In a few weeks I will be going back to Messiah and giving it a last shot. It will be my last semester and Lord willing I will graduate in December following the class and the internship.

Wow it has been a while again and now I am back. It is the end of May already. I gotta say there were great times but sad times too. The ones that I look at most was the wedding and the last few bits of the school year. It ended well but not as well. However, I do wish to post some awesome photos of some parts of it. Even though I had frustrations there really were some great times in the year coming to a close. I like to say the wedding weekend was overall the BEST weekend that I ever had. This was the second Messiah wedding among the hundreds that I had been to. I do want to remember this weekend for a long time as it played a special part of the entire year including putting a close to the school year. Here are some awesome pictures to remember the actual day itself. Enjoy them!

So I haven't been updating my blog for so long which is not a good thing. But here has been something that I am doing this semester. I have been making the most of it by reuniting with people and getting myself adjusted and accustomed to the upcoming Adult Life. It is literally coming up very soon. I can't even believe that in just 8 months I will be graduating College. The past months and especially this year have seem to be coming by fast. Now it is just time to worry about the future coming up quick.

I can't believe that so many things have been going on the past few years and how much I have accomplished. I made lots of friends here at College as well as figured out what I wanted to do. I love the soccer people as well as other athletes and non-athletes. They have been great in helping me through and doing the building up process. I have been there for them and they have been there for me. We all have been having great times. This leads me to think often about who I would keep in touch with after Graduation. That is tough. I sure hope to work in Harrisburg for a while and then eventually move South. We will see whatever happens in my career.

Grief Counseling is something that I have been going to lately. As many of you may not know I lost a person in my family 3-1/2 years ago and it has still been tough. But now I am making progress in getting through the life after the loss. In this I want to help other people as well as my family. I sure hope that this will be working much better. This in what I believe will be the best counseling in Grief I have ever been into.

Taking pictures is something that is of interest. Not to be egoistic but it has gotten better. I got reminded that maybe I should try to start blogging more and posting a ton of pictures up. I feel that I got some good ones but I never come to posting and blogging it. Perhaps there should be some blog about Messiah life. It is something that I love sharing with the outside world. However, I would not want to make my Facebook public. Hope that there is something I could still do with this after finishing school :)
