Tornado? Not talking about the weather..

What a week.

Physically...

Emotionally...

Spritually...

Exhausted

90+ campers, 20ish staff, 90 degree weather, 7 tired camp staff members = why I love my job.

Want to know why we are tired?

The meals..

The games...

The GaGa...

The Small Group bible studies...

It all may be crazy. It all may make us tired...and sometimes patience may run thin. In the end I stand amazed at the work God is doing at the camp.

The work he is doing through the campers that come through the gates. The work he does in the counselors that I see pouring their hearts out to the children that need it most. The lives that leave changed for the better knowing that "God does love them...and so do we"

Not only to the campers leave this way...

...or the counselors...

...but myself included. I am continually reminded of the grace extended to me, and the love that surrounds me even when the fog is thick...

...and a storm is coming...

...or when i'm in the eye of the hurricane...

On Sunday's at 2:00pm I come ready to work for the camp, but at 2:01 I realize that I am doing His work. With a bunch of amazing people who I should thank Him for...more than I already do. Because they keep me going. (even if I unfriend them periodically throughout the week for threatening to quit lol)

The Joey...

The Boss...

Crazy trips to walmart in a monsoon...

Dangerously painting buildings...

Fighting over who won...

Stealing my phone....alot....

The girl that never stops eating...

Food service...which we harugely hate at times

Bro Time...

The Friend...

The Lifeguard assistants

And the one who makes it all possible...even if it's through seeing his glory and beauty all around...

I am blessed.

"Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever." 1 Corinthians 9:25-25
