Quiet Time

Yesterday we managed to have an hour long break, and I fully intended to take a nap, I ran back to my cabin just to drop off some papers and paused to pick up a few things. (for some unknown reason my room at home can be an utter pig sty but when I have to share space with other "pigs" I become a bit of a neet freak..hum) As I was cleaning up I saw my Bible and decided that a few minutes in the word would be good. One of the other girls was about to take a nap so I offered to put on some mellow music for her (which really served to relax me as well) So with the mood set I opened up to my chapter in Psalms that I've been reading this last week. ( don't ask me refrences I don't have a clue thats why I have a bookmark) It's all about letting your soul rest in God who provided salvation and is our rock and fortress. But the part I love is the like where he talks about trusting God and telling God everything that is on your heart. Oh man thats so awesome. Not only do we always have someone to talk to who wants to hear us but he is totally trustworthy. He won't ever tell the wrong person or be shocked by what you have to say. He loves us no matter what and in the end his plan is exactly what we need. In my complitative mood I decided to flip over to one of my favorite verses (I think it's in Zephaniah?? Again..bookmark) It talks about how God is mighty to save, and continues on with that he will quiet us with his love and rejoice over us with singing. Wow I have to just stop and thing, God sings over me. I like to think that he wrote a song just for me, and that he sings it. How beautiful would that sound? I can't wait to hear it. I think perhaps CS Lewis in the Chronicals of Narnia wrote something that implied that when the earth was formed God didn't just speak things in to being but sang them. Wouldn't it be awesome if God is singing us into the person he wants us to be every day of our lives. What is your song? How is God singing over you today?

CAMP!

Ok Everyone I've been at camp for about 2 weeks now and here is the update. On the one hand I have never had more fun. I get to amuse people at every turn. On the other hand I've been going nuts trying to figure out exactly what my job entails. It's been more stressful than any job I've ever had. I know I'm learning a lot though. I definately am getting better at asking more pointed questions and being persistant about asking for information that I need. Also with all the sleep deprivation, I havn't had the best attitude. I also had to take a moment to laugh at myself the other day because I was just being rediculious. With all the stress and uncertantity about why I'm here I had pretty much stopped talking to God on the basis that I didn't want him to work on me right now. HA. Anyway I'm over that and now God and I are working on loving fellow staff that drive me up a wall. (to be expected as they are at that boy crazy.. must do my hair and makup everymorning stage in life that somehow I completely skipped.) Gotta run the bell is about to ring.....
