My Counseling Experience // July 2022

-
 Hello friends! In my last post I mentioned about me being able to counsel at my church camp! I couldn't leave you guys hanging, and I wanted to write about my experience. Out of the 5 weeks of summer we have church camp, the week I counseled (pioneer week) was only 3 days, July 6-8. And thank goodness it was only 3 days. I was exhausted! It was very fun, and I'm excited to share my experience!  To start it off, my cabin was beautifully decorated by the head counselor of the cabin, Erika! Erika and Karlie are the two Godly ladies I got to counsel and bond with in our cabin.  We had 13 young girls (aged from entering grade 2nd, 3rd, or 4th) in our cabin that was named 'Moss' since the camp was created in mid 1900's. Throughout the week, I bonded with a lot of the girls, and the girls made new friends. I didn't know any of the girls that were in my cabin, and I felt truly blessed!

  H ey y'all! Long time no see! another life update *laughs out loud*  A few change of plans... I decided NOT to play summer softball! My summer has already been busy and I just don't have enough time to be on another softball team. I am going to stick to volleyball (optional) practices through the summer to be ready to play when school starts back up!  A few things that happened so far..  I celebrated my 14th birthday! I celebrated by having a party with family and close friends. My mom and I also took an overnight trip to go shopping and have some bonding time. It was a great two days!  One of my close friends (basically like an older sister that took me under her wing the past 6 years) got married! I am so happy for her and wish her the best marriage!   This past week, June 20-24, I spent at my church summer camp. And man, did God work miracles there! I will try to make a separate post of some of the things that stuck out to me, and what I want to share with others. Our them

what i eat in a day

-
 happy april! i thought i would start off the month with what i eat in a day!  i am not much of a breakfast person.. sometimes when i eat breakfast i get a really bad stomach ache, but the same thing happens when i don't eat! (any tips?) but todayyy i had an english muffin with our homemade raspberry jelly around 930!  for lunch we had THM (trim healthy mama) loaded broccoli soup! it was delish! then i also had some guacamole with tortilla chips, and i had some extra quac so i made sweet potato avocado toast.. but instead of just avocado i used my leftover guacamole!  for my afternoon snack around 3, i made a strawberry lemonade smoothie with spinach!  frozen strawberries  lemon juice honey water spinach  that simple!  for dinner after softball practice i had some steak, hand-picked cooked oyster mushrooms, and baked kale "chips".  for "desert" i had a peanut butter protein bar!
