we are about halfway through our internship here at RVR... pretty crazy, pretty awesome. along with many many other things i have discovered about myself at the ranch, i have discovered that i am very good at catching every sickness that comes my way. in the past 2 months i have been sick probably around 5 times.. something is not right.. as soon as i stop playing softball and start life in the real world i stopped catching softballs and started catching colds.. (drums please) i know horrible joke, but i couldn't resist. :)
the past 2 days the interns and i spent our workdays in the barn with biz and morgan learning about our horsemanship program and our horse aspect of camp. it is the first of our "rotation" of working the different aspects of camp that RVR has to offer. i am pretty excited about this part. i want to be able to relate to everyone in camp ministry no matter what field they are in. so this is the beginning of that :) our past 2 days included tacking up the horses, grooming them, training some of them, scooping poop, feeding, trail rides, and learning how to ride them better with lessons and games. i grew up around horses so it all wasn't new to me. i still learned a lot more than i did about horses and taking care of them. i really like riding horses even though i am horrible at it. horses are funny and each have very different personalities.. that is very evident when you ride multiple horses in a day. all in all, i have enjoyed the past 2 days.
on a personal note.. i wrote about things being heavy lately.. still don't really know why, but i think i can blame the weather for some of it.. it's snowing again and i am just ready for sunshine! this may sound a bit funny and minute, but i have really been missing softball, being a student, and just being able to work summer camps in the summer. it's something i think graduates hit soon after they enter the real world.. i guess it took me a few months.. the transition is now hitting me. i love where i am and i love growing up and growing in my faith, but i think it is always hard to leave the consistency of life. going to school, playing softball, working at camp, and then repeating. it was normal and it was consistent, something that became somewhat of a routine for me, my life. now, things are different. not bad different, just different. different is good, but sometimes takes a little while to grasp that life changes and moves on. it's hard to believe that something i have been a part of since the time i was 4 is done. over. finished... just like that, it didn't gradually stop, but just stopped. i knew it was coming, but wasn't quite prepared for it. season started a few weeks ago for liberty.. maybe that's why i am now feeling it because I find myself working instead of being on the field. God used softball in my life and now it is time to move on to something different. i used to be a softball player, but i am still a vessel willing and waiting to be used by Him.
stumbling along,
beth.
