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.
