its been a while

wow i have failed at blogging! haha
so much has happened since my last post! i have been crazy busy!
i will only speak briefly about the things prior to this week because this week was a highlight.

aleisha spent 3 weeks with me. we did so much stuff! all the touristy stuff. it was so much fun!

once leish left, i had VBS at church. that was good. i got to hang out with one of my good friends so it made me happy!

the week after that i was counseling at junior 1 camp. i had a cabin of 8 girls around the age of 10 and i also had a co-counselor. it was exhausting (or so i thought at the time) but so much fun! after that, i had 24 hours to recover and i had to go back to camp to counsel teen camp.

so that brings me to teen camp (this past week). WOW! i thought jr 1 was tiring... this week i had 11 middle school girls all by myself. crazy. i was doing fine until thursday. all of thursday i had a heavy heart. i didnt know why. i got ready for chapel that night and went down early. i ran to one of my friends and started crying my eyes out. i couldnt hold it in. i didnt want to be with my campers at all. so i cried then we went to chapel. someone asked me if i was okay and i started crying again. so i went outside with the same friend that i cried to earlier. as we were sitting there, Francine, the recreation director, came up and asked what was going on. i told her i was sick of it all and just felt off. the first thing she asked me was "have you been in the Word?". oh snap. i had only read my Bible once that week. i kept forgetting. i sat with francine and she talked to me, and explained that i can not do things on my own. i needed to "tap into the power source" aka God. once i realized that i was much better. a lot of other stuff happened but being broken down like that really got my attention. God worked in amazing ways this week and all my girls told me that they felt closer to God than before they came. so overall, the week was amazing. i met some great people who i know will be a part of my life for a long time.

life is good. God is amazing.
