One week down, one to go.

Last week was hectic. I shall tell a short story to give a very mild example.
   I have been switched to resource which I love, And on Wednesday, Me and my cabin counselor friends decided to take our kids on a sleepout after campout. Before we left, the sky became tumultuous. As we struggled to say goodbye to a camper going home early, the wind picked up, blowing sand in swirls around the camp, and sending us hurrying to finish packing.
   The 11 of us dragged along, with bags and tents at our feet. when we finally got to our campsite (and waited for the camper with a sore ankle) it was pouring rain in torrents and we realized our food bin had been switched! fortunately the one it was switched for had a dutch oven, because we thought we were going to need to get inventive. Our girls, however frustrated or despairing, split up, and began gathering the driest possible wood, and quickly pitching the tent. But the tent was impossible! after long moments of struggle, we realized the poles were wrong. so we fixed that, but  most of the girls were soaked and walked back to the camp to get clean clothes to sleep in. As they disappeared through the forest trail, the three left and I started on cooking. It had taken possibly an hour to start a decent fire, but we cooked our stir fry beautifully, even in the torrent. When the food was cooked and everyone returned, we huddled in our homemade shelter. I forced some of my kids to eat, picky eaters that they are.
  The rain died away. We began an amazing game of Whatcha Doin, dragging visitors into it with us,  and laughing at beautifully funny renditions of kissing trees. After the energy had somewhat dissipated, we sat down for a God talk. It started with a simple life story, and opened a huge discussion of God's character, plans, home lives, and story telling. We made Smackos, went stargazing, and realized that even when everything seems to go wrong, God can use it to make everything right.


OK, so after that anecdote, a bit of news! Camp has gone well, albeit many challenges. I have one more week before I home home, before I leave. I am still short the money, but I pray and trust God will provide. That doesn't mean I'm slacking. I am currently selling some art so please please please contact me about it! I am also hosting a Lia Sophia party at my place, August 17, at 3 PM, so if at all possible try to clean out your calendar to come, or you can email your order at the hostess page of the site here: http://sites.liasophia.ca/sites/nutri
 |Please pray for me to be healthy, and that God would provide and I would be able to connect to you, my supporters. Thank you all so much for being with me in this!
