So, this past week was a lot more...well, everything good than last week. We got more work done, there was no catastrophic failure in any of the municipal aspects, the kids were easier to manage (there were also less of them), the weather was less harsh, albeit a lot dryer, and everything seemed to resolve itself.
As for a larger thing I learned at camp, I guess it would be that everything will work out in the end. Easy to say, hard to believe in. Without going into too many details that aren't mine to share, this week I saw a lot of prayers get answered, problems work out in time, and well, the quote " I'm okay because I have God and he's all the love I need. He'll help us through" pretty much sums it up. Not everything can be solved purely by waiting and praying. Sometimes, action is necessary, but even that action can be as simple as lending an ear to listen. So then, how do we know when to wait something out and when to do something about it? I think if someone had the answer to that, then the world's problems would be all but fixed (Oh, wait...I forgot about human nature...right...never mind). I'm always an advocate for approaching a trial head on if it's smaller, especially interpersonal problems, and waiting on the bigger ones until they've been thought through thoroughly.
Not sure what else to put on this week's post other than I also received an offer for this upcoming year that totally rocks my socks and I got to reconnect with someone I was a fool to not stay in touch with.
Next week is Junior Week 2, which should be just about as awesome as this week was.
