Should I work at camps?

I used to work at camps in New York, California, and even Oregon, since 2004. One of my favorite jobs in the world.

I attended different churches, clubs, and youth groups growing up. As a kid, I attended Vacation Bible School (VBS), Seattle Splash, other church camps like with Word Of Life and The Salvation Army say for example, since like the 1990s. After that, I was a camp counselor at snow camps and summer camps.

One of my favorites was when I was a Wilderness Counselor at Camp Kuratli in Oregon in 2007 and 2008. Worked on the Children Ministry Team (CMT) where we ran events in different states on the East Coast. I also did Revolution Hawaii. Worked at a school in Portland, OR. I also enjoyed working at Camp Redwood Glen in California in 2010. After that, I taught English in Vietnam in 2012 for five years.

I sometimes feel like I'm not totally sure where I belong in this world as I've lived in different states and countries doing different jobs, I have a wide variety of mixed feelings about so many different things, I'm not going to completely bore you right now with all of the details except to say that I'm trying to remain open-minded regarding this fork in the road that I'm currently at.

Feel free to suggest what I should do regarding job opportunities and everything else.

I worked with amazing people over the years, if they suddenly wanted me to work at their camp or something else, I would probably want to think about it.

Long story short, I've had many jobs in my life, I have many mixed feelings about them, so many pros and cons, I have a lot to say about so many things. I enjoyed working with different people but the problem is I'm only one person and I cannot work with everybody everywhere doing everything all of the time. I often want to do everything. I have a never ending list of things I do and try to do going back decades.

What worries me is becoming even more busy than I already am, I'm constantly buried in work daily. Therefore, I should try to tighten up my long list of priorities. I still feel like I'm in the middle of a never ending list of decisions, I often feel like I'm ten or even twenty years behind schedule with all of the life goals I made myself over the years, I turned 40 years old in 2025 (three months ago), I'm driving, I'm getting things done. So, my plan is to continue to take it a day at a time.

How do you eat an oatmeal elephant? One bite at a time.

If Donald Trump did not have a first term according to Operation Crossfire Hurricane. Can he in 2028? Was it treason, why is the Democrat Party and the Rinos so against America First, are they using the illegals to flip red states blue? Biden had an autopen, does that mean Obama was really the President for four consecutive terms?
