discovery of yesterday: everyone is just a BIG kid

So just an update: life has been full...not to crazy...not to calm...full. The rest of my Thailand experience was incredible! God did such amazing things in and through our team. Glory and honor to Him completely! Anyway when I got back to the states we were able to have an amazing time of debrief and it was funny because one of the days during debrief I really had a hard time thinking about not working at camp this summer. The Lord had just so clearly closed that door and I just did not know what other job would come along and how this summer would turn out. But i was reminded that the place i needed to be was right where I was. Anyway after times of affirmation, graduation, food, laughter and memories interwoven throughout our last few days together it was time to say "see ya later"...this was really hard but at the same time we knew the Lord was calling us all to reach for and embrace our new seasons of life. For me in that moment it was to roadtrip home with my best friend and to see my brother graduate from high school. Connecting again with family and coming "home" was a very weird but incredible thing to experience again. During the weekend of our roadtrip i talked with one of my friends who mentioned one more open position at a camp He was working at this summer (a local camp about 40 min from me) anyway he said you should call them and think about applying. I called them had an interview within 2 days and began work the day after i got hired! How crazy is it that though I am not working at the camp i am most used to, but I am working at a camp! What a privilege and blessing to be hopefully an example to those much younger then I. Lets just say this is one twist on my journey of this summer that I never anticipated but so far it has been a joy filled ride! Already i have been tested in patience, endurance, flexibility, and love. And i have already conquered fear in different areas of my life. I am so glad our God is faithful and that His love never fails, never gives up...it never runs out and it never falls short. He is my sufficiency and I will keep trusting in Him. Letting go is hard, but its a free fall and there's a hint of adventure in every moment. (oh and yesterday was 3 things at camp: tyedye Tuesday, no hand Tuesday (eating everything with no hands or silverware) and then there was french braids to be worn by all in Adelphe)
