september 16th

one of my campers reminded me today of something very important.  i've realized i've been easily distracted by the little things that tend to bring me down lately. i'm not sure quite how to get out of this funk that i am in, but i'm realizing that i have the greatest cloud of witnesses around me for support.

 

today i got a friend request from a camper Colbie.  she's such a unique girl who always reminds me that no matter what you are going through if you keep a positive attitude everything will work out how it should. she reminds me that no matter what i'm going through God will be there for support. pretty cool that i can learn all that from a 14 year old, thats the beauty of camp tecumseh.

 

"so keep your head high, keep your chin up and most importantly keep smiling cause life's a beautiful thing and there is so much to smile about"

 

i'm thankful for Morgan and Kate and Nina always sending me selfies at the perfect moment of the day when i need it the most.

 

i'm lucky to have met Margaret to have her to vent to and be creepy and weird with and for her good advice and listening ear, even if i don't even know what I'm looking for. God continues to surprise me with new people who I didn't realize I was missing to help support and guide me through tough times and to show me the way I want to live my life.

 

Saturday was such a goofy and weird and interesting day that i don't think i want to forget ever.  it's one of those totally random no plans but all of a sudden gets filled by a million fun things. like Kate said this is going to be one of those days that i will miss once i graduate from school.  i loved going to taco bell with the crazies, that they stole our wooden letters and sprinted down the road and didnt stop, that i got to hang out with Zack and Jarv and unexpected old friends. 

 

although I'm not sure where my life is headed or what God has in store for me, I'm trying to enjoy being here and now and loving every person and every situation that I'm blessed with because life is a gift and you never know what can happen next week, or tomorrow, or even an hour from now. so I'm loving this moment right here with Katie and Megan in the bum room watching The Vow. cuz this is where I'm meant to be. thank you.
