Life on hold while in Super Non-stop Go Mode


Summer camping season is awesome. I love it. There's so much going on, ALL THE TIME. Yet life as I know it the rest of the year literally gets put on hold. I was so much more aware of that this year for whatever reason. Maybe it was making new friends at the beginning of the year (a number of them being teachers) and for them summer means no schedule, let's plan fun things to do and hang out. It's doesn't really make sense to 9-5ers year round or teachers that for me, summer means some weeks my life is put on hold. Actually, friends have been super, supportive and we've still managed to find snippets of time to enjoy summer daze but its a tough balance to maintain priorities and friendships. Kudos to the friends who've kept in touch, not taken my lack of availability for calls & texts personally and who haven't forgotten about me.

Even bigger props to JC who is working in the lives of kids and families this summer. It's such a mystery to me and I love love love that the God of the universe chose this time in history to allow me to be a part of witnessing what happens in and through Him at Camp Hebron.
