a curve ball of sorts

September/November 2012- I was debating if I wanted to go back to Oakcrest or go on a humanitarian trip to Africa. I called up Serenade and made the decision to apply for Assistant Director to see if it was right for me to go back.

     -I soon got the call back that I didn't get Assistant Director position, but I still felt good about going back to Oakcrest as a counselor.

Fast forward to January/February-I loved Oakcrest but I decided not to go back. I was going to go on a humanitarian trip and experience a summer in Logan. I declined my interview for counselor, and moved on. I'm not going to lie though, when the staff was hired I was a little jealous and I couldn't help to wonder what if I had gone to my interview. Would I have been hired back?

End of February-to Today: My contract for summer and next school year housing is signed. Though Britney and I hadn't officially decided where we were going on our humanitarian trip, we were determined that it was going to happen.

Monday, March 4th- I had heard about the Assistant Director quitting Oakcrest, and I couldn't help but think they were going to ask me to fill the position. (This isn't meant to sound selfish) but I quickly brushed the feeling off, because I had plans and they were going to ask someone else.

Tuesday, March 5th-The Director and other Assistant Director showed up at my apartment and asked me if I would be willing to fill the position of Assistant Director. Words cannot describe the emotions and thoughts that went through me. I told them I would think about it and get back to them.

Wednesday/Thursday-I have never felt better about anything. As I continued to pray about it, I felt the immense love of my Heavenly Father. Thursday night it became official. "Sharkbait" would be going back to the Lord's camp for another summer. The other director was meant to be there the amount of time she was. I don't know her, but I know she is incredible and did great things for the coming summer at Oakcrest.

I am so incredibly grateful for this Gospel and the chance I have to return to Oakcrest with a staff I already love. I know everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father has a plan for each and everyone of us. Putting all of our faith and trust in him is essential. I have never been happier!
