I just saw canned asparagus in the cabinet and my mom has never ever made us asparagus. I'm pretty sure I thought it was spelt with an E. You win some, you win some more. I say that because if I didn't just see that can of asparagus I would have lost forever.
Let me tell you about camp life now: It's a busy beautiful mess! Children aren't perfect and neither are the leaders (inclusive of pastors, sponsors, and staff). It is up to us leaders to approach every child differently so that they can enjoy the same experience. Then, it is up to the camper to let us into their world so that we may please them and they can go home wanting to come back to camp the next summer. My favorite part of the week was helping one of the camper's to make a survival bracelet. It sounds simple, but God knows I'm thankful for being able to connect to his needs and help him learn a new skill. He's very talented, it's just seems that he wants to be able to pick up a new task so quickly that he misses all the steps to create a working product...and that's why woodcarving for him wasn't so hot... it's a different dynamic teaching woodcarving using sharp knives versus tying knots with string.
Serendipity is a load of crap.
Camp is another job where we're on our feet all day unless we're sleeping. I haven't completely broken down yet though, but I hope that doesn't happen anyways!
My teeth are whitened and I'm ready for bed!
