I am Yours FOREVER!!!! :)
I officially love being staff here. I have so much freedom, it's amazing. I mean, freedom as long as I fulfill my responsibilities. Anyway, this past 24 hours has been a great one. I am beginning to i guess you would call it "fit in" with everyone. after lunch yesterday, i watched a movie wtih my boys. I am in charge of three of them: ryan, 6, michael, 8, and gabriel, also 8. Michael and ryan are brothers. i know I'm not supposed to play favorites, but ryan is my favorite. he is the most adorable kid on the face of the earth. So csehy, it's amazing. Thsi random girl walked up to me and said hi and hugged me...never met her before in my life. also, the lunch tables, just sit at a random one...with random people....and make conversation with new people. it's cool. well, anyway, we watched cars yesterday. I almost fell asleep. oops. after that, i came back to my room for free time...practiced, and slept until dinner at 5. after dinner, I again watched the boys. they are a bundle of energy, that's all I can say. after that, was sing time. I went with mom. it was pretty great. everyone sings hymns. the campers get up to give a testimony and then if they want to they request a hymn, and we sing it. worship is solely hymns. I don't really know any of the ones we sing, but they are pretty great to sing. then, was the faculty prayer. being a staff, i am really in the middle. I can do faculty stuff, or i can do counselor stuff. It's fun. I really liked praying with them. there is amazing passionate people here for God. I feel so different here...I really can't describe it. after prayer, mom and i went to play games with the faculty. that was a blast, then it was bedtime....a much needed bed time.
this morning I woke up after claire got out of the shower. I was able to get ready in enough time to not be fashionably late to breakfast...it's all good though...i'm staff. then Iw atched the boys, we basically ran around in the gym for 1.5 hours and then played ping pong. they also have those tamagachi things, which are like my phone to them. it makes me laugh...but if it occupies them for a decent amount of time...they can play all they want with them. I then went to devotions with the counselors. It was a lot of great time. It was great to finally hang around with people my own age, and i am going to dinner with claire and some of the counselors later tonight. I am quite excited.
for the first time in a long time, I am content
for the first time in a long time, my mind is not running and running
i can finally be who I want to be
I can interact with these people, and not be judged for who I am
I feel the Love of God radiating around me
I am free.
I just can't describe it....
the reason that I live, the reason that i sing with all that I am...is You
Through tears and joy, I will trust in you
Your promise is forever
I am Yours Forever
Jesus, I belong to You
