Just Some Thoughts

"Your blessed when you get your inside world - your mind and your heart - put right. Then you can see God in the outside world." Matthew 5

 "When you help someone out, don't think about how it looks. Just do it - quiet and unobtrusively." Matthew 6

I think I need to work on my insides instead of working on my outside and being concerned with what people think of me.

Home Stretch

[The first and second pictures are views from the peak of blackhead mountain...an intense hike we do with the high school kids. The second is part of my team from the "reality check" games which is basically a day of games based off reality TV where you compete against other teams and dress up silly.]

It has been a very long time since my last update. I never have the motivation to update my blog when I have free time.. because I'm usually sleeping. :-)

Things have gotten much better since that last post.. I think I was just really worn out.

Everyone here is exhausted! We have had a very busy summer and the final stretch is really wearing us out. This week is a rental group. Its kids aged 4th grade through 12th grade that are Florida College Alumni's children. They are a specific denomination of christianity that is super duper conservative. For instance this week I can't wear shorts above the knee or tank tops because that is their dress code. They are really nice people though, and AMAZING SINGERS. They harmonize and everything and they sound like a church choir, but I guess thats just the way everyone sings in their denomination.

Last week was 5th and 6th grade. It took a lot of motivation to get through that week. But I was with Katie counseling so it was all good. She left last weekend though so I'm super sad this week. 

The week before that was High School II. Those kids were GREAT. They totally made the week for me. It helped that a lot of them were only a couple years younger than me so it was like hanging out with kids my own age. They have a fall retreat that a lot of these kids go to that I would LOVE to work at... but I need a way to get there which is the problem.

I'm going to post some more pictures of stuff around camp.

Peace,

Heather
