Longest week of the summer. Hardest week of the summer. This week was the most frustrating week of the summer. It was the week that made me cuss like a sailor too. Out of all of them, this was it. This is the one that kicked my tail emotionally & spiritually. Not physically because well, I'm not falling over from exhaustion like I have previous weeks.
I failed miserably in my time with God...ignoring it completely for the most part. I was so busy with what I had to do that I didn't take the time to spend with God. I let the apathy slip in, and I want to make sure that doesn't happen.
Emotionally...well...how else would you react if two of your fellow staff members left? It's frustrating. That's all I can really say about that without getting myself in trouble.
At the same time, God's showed me that despite my apathy, He's still working. He's still working in big ways. Two (I would have to say even four because I do not agree with the term "rededication") got saved the last half of the week. I love working with middle schoolers. I loved having sixth grade girls in the cabin. At the lowest point of my summer, God still shined through.
Thank You, Lord.

Girl, i know where you've been because i've been there two. Last summer was so hard for my spiritually and I was so stressed and busy that i didn't spend as much time with Jesus as i should have. I know your summer is almost over, but take what you've learned this summer and apply it to college. Make time for God, He'll work in you in ways you never would've dreamed.
ReplyDeleteI've prayed for you and will continue doing so
love you girl
