Me, a camp counselor??

So, Julie convinced me to apply to be a camp counselor at CCR. I have no idea what I'm doing. I mean, I've thought a lot about it since she told me she was applying and I actually forgot she was going to be a counselor there.... (ashamed friend face..) But I saw the ad on the University Career Services website and thought, "Hmm..that might be a cool job." I went to the site and saw that I could be a counselor and thought, "Uh....I'm not so sure about this," and went on to look at other sites. Then today, when Julie came she started talking about how she thought CCR was the place we had gone for a day our Junior year in Environmental Science. We went to the site and I remembered that I had considered working there for a split second. She encouraged me to apply so I am applying... We talked a lot about it today and I have realized that I have a lot more experience with children than I thought at first. I have worked in Vacation Bible School for about 8 years straight and now I am working with the middle school youth group at my church and I have been babysitting since who knows when. But I am still apprehensive. So much about the whole thing is waay out of my comfort zone. But God never said that following Him would let us stay in our little comfort zone bubbles. Perhaps He has been preparing me for this with working with the youth group. I don't know. But applying this late in the semester? I wouldn't think that they would have any positions left open. But Julie is going to email the director and see for me. God has the best plan in mind for me. I just need to trust Him and remember all the times that His plan has been so much better than mine. That's why after He rescued the Israelites from something or someone, He made them put a pile of rocks by the place. He knew that they would forget what He had done for them and not trust Him so He made them create a physical reminder of what He had done for them. I try to write down what God has done, how His plan has worked out so much better than mine would have so that I'll remember for times like this when I am not really sure what's going on and need to trust God. I mean, I know we should always be trusting Him, but it is easy to say "I'm trusting Him," when everything is going well. It is a completely different thing to say, "I am trusting Him," when He seems to be gone and nothing is going right or when you are completely out of your depth. But, still, because of those reminders that He is in control and knows what is best for you, better than you do, it is easier to trust Him, even when it seems like He isn't even there. God knows.
