the LT basics.

Wow. I don’t even know where to start! Keep in mind if this is random it is only because I’ve never blogged before. But, I felt like this might be the best way to keep everyone updated about LT and my life.


So, for starters let’s go with the basics of my life here at LT:

- I’m living in a condo with 6 other girls, which are all wonderful. There are 3 girls from Ball State, 2 that came to LT last year – Jazz & Beka, for all you past LT-ers. There are 4 Virginia Tech girls – me, Adriana (who was my Lifegroup leader at Tech), Kristin, and Colbi (who is my bedmate!).

- My job here in Virginia Beach is working at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites North Beach, formerly known as the Holiday Inn Sunspree. It’s hectic there right now, since the entire hotel has been under complete renovation for several months and is still currently. At the Holiday Inn, I am what is known as a Recreation Attendant… but I like to call it Camp Counselor! I work at the kids day camp called “Splash Kamp” and we keep children that are 4-12 years old. Basically, it is a complimentary service for families that stay at the hotel where parents can drop off their kids for some fun! We play tons of games, make crafts, have interactive activities and run the hotel’s in house movie theater. The manager of the hotel calls us the “Hotel Cheerleaders” and told us that we were “in charge of fun.” I love my job!  (Also, sometimes as a Recreation Attendant I can be assigned to be a Pool Attendant.)

- My role that I was assigned here at LT is a Lifegroup leader. I am so excited to take this role on!! This year they decided to make the Lifegroups really small and personal, only having 3 people. In my Lifegroup is LT Staffer Sarah Swann and fellow Hokie Deirdre Hunter. (I did tell the ladies in my Lifegroup that I thought it was very funny that I am the leader and I am the youngest in the group by at least 10 or more years!)

- Last, but certainly not least, let me share some of the goals that they have for everyone at LT this summer. By the end of the summer, we hope to have everyone read through all of First & Second Samuel, and all of the Psalms. (We will be following the life of David this summer.) We also hope to have quiet time every day, memorize 4 full psalms, read the book The Life of David by AW Pink, take a gifts assessment, learn how to communicate the Gospel, share the Gospel with someone, develop friendships with coworkers & invite them to spiritual activities with us, and to develop one personal goal for ourselves for the summer.
Well, that’s the basics. Stay tuned for the intense stuff soon to come! ;)
