high of 75.

this week was beautiful. in every sense of the word.
and okay, it was a little warmer than 75. but it was in the pretty low 90s and there was this constant perfect breeze.
i had the absolutely too wonderful to be true cabin. all my girls were so much fun, but they'd put their craziness on pause in a split second anytime i started to say something. they did everything i asked right away, not that i even needed to ask them very often to quiet down and go to sleep, or to do their cabin capers job, or clean their tables after meals, or anything that my last group i would have had to tell 14 times. they LOVED bible study, and not only listened, but had things to say, and never complained about any part of it. they were quiet in rest time, they never talked after lights out(unless you count thursday night when they kept asking me to sing one more song), there was no drama between buddies, they all made friends and were promising each other on the last day to keep in touch, and i had one who reminded me so much of myself as a camper that it was almost scary.
i found time for so many good conversations with random staff(yes, without neglecting my job!!).
i got in Jesus time every single day.
we had CHURROS. i got 4 of em.
and i felt good all week. i remember why i'm here, how much i love it, and the kind of stuff God has in store for the rest of the summer, and i couldn't be happier. i've almost found that rhythm i was in last summer.
"and it's funny how you find you enjoy your life, when you're happy to be alive."
this next week is a full camp!! i can't wait for unit 3, and the empty tables in the dining hall, and chairs in the multipurpose building to be filled like the glory days when i was a camper. pray that we'll work well with our new mundo staffers and returning staff who are coming back to help us out, and that we'll all be prepared for this many campers. pray that we'll focus first on God, then on the campers, and then on encouraging each other. and pray for the 200 girls getting ready right now, that God will rock their worlds this week!
