Whew! The past two days have been super busy! I woke up late both mornings, and headed off to camp right away. Yet, in spite of the craziness, God has been moving in amazing ways!
Two days ago, I committed to not saying 'No' to campers or staff who needed to talk or hang out. I have lived that way over the past few days, and I have been reminded of so many things!
#1) I have been reminded of God's grace. He renews and restores. There is nothing too big for God to restore. I was confessed to about a situation regarding trust. One staff member broke another's trust. God worked and even though the trust breaker did not deserve to have the relationship restored, it was! There will still be a lot of work, but they are on the path to restoration!
#2) I was reminded that having joy and enthusiasm is a choice! We had bad weather yesterday, and staff really stepped it up and were flexible and it was really great! We spent most of free time huddled in the basement of the Chalet hoping that the weather would pass...it did, and I think God used our speaker to really grab the hearts of both staff and campers. It was awesome!
#3) I love my wife! Her schedule has been a little funky lately, and it has been difficult to spend time together. Last night we were able to have date night! We went to Buffalo Wild Wings and watched Leap Year. It was a good night to be reminded that we can have fun together. It was really good and really needed!
I am still reading! I am in 2 Thessalonians. And Paul is talking a lot about the Day of the Lord. These passages remind me that there is not much time left, and my life needs to reflect that in all aspects. I will point others closer to Jesus in every conversation I have with them today. I am excited to see what God has in store!
See you tomorrow!
In His service,CrazyPete
