Oh joyous September

I have now been off for more than 2 weeks from camp and it seems like it has been a year. I have been looking for work, mainly in Vancouver at fitness and weight center places. I am really into that right now and think that it would be a great idea for a job for a couple months or longer if I really like it. Most of the places have opportunities to move up and get certified to be a personal trainer in BC. It's sweet.

As for other happenings in the life of Candice, I am now in Stettler going on the 2nd week just visiting. I have been to Red Deer, helped out around the house, caught up on emails, wrote letters to campers, and yesterday, best day ever, went to visit Doug in Edmonton. We went to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs the movie in IMAX 3D and it was incredible. It was sososososo good and we went on Tuesday and it was some sort of deal where you got free popcorn and pop. It was a great day too we played cards, mini golf, went on some rides, ate at his favorite restaurant, walked around the parliament buildings and across the bridges. What fun!!!

Today my Grandma is visiting and so I have been shopping and just kind of being lazy. Seems like that's all I have been doing. It's good to see people and catch up on sleep although I don't like sleeping since camp. I only got 6 hours there and so I am getting too much here and I can't adjust to the soft beds and not sleeping in a sleeping bag and in the pitch blackness. Safe to say that I miss some things about camp and definitely don't miss some other things though. I can't wait to get a job though because I am getting bored and I need to make some money and move out of Leia's place.

The past 2 weeks have been great too to reflect on all that God has done through and in me this summer. I have recognized a new found love for things and patience, and really seeing the world through Jesus' eyes. That's what I am working on. Loving everyone, stepping into their shoes in certain situations and learning to be more understanding and easy going about life. How to live selflessly, to give, and to just pour out your life for God's kingdom. He has given this life for us to glorify Him and I need to do everything in my strength including His to fulfill His purpose. It's not about finding out what God's will is and doing it, it's joining Him where He is already at work. I am learning to trust in Him, as my times are in His hands, for the future. I still don't have a clue what the future holds but I am certain that it will be as amazing and God glorifying as this summer at camp was.

Hopefully pictures will be coming soon of some of my fun times at camp and my cabins. Stay tuned (but don't get your hopes too high)! Later days!
