Oh man.....where do I even begin. Well lets begin right now. I am sitting in the staff lounge trying to type with a pulled tendon arm hahahaha. that's only a small struggle of the week.
God has a sense of humor as he not only gave me one hard week alone, but two. Jr's are tough man! And not tough in the sense that they are brave but tough in the sence that they test your ability of EVERYTHING from biblical knowledge to physical strength. The idea of counseling jr's along was scary, actually doing it was even worse. Though I will say, it was a really good experience....that was just the first week.
The second week of jr's I had a co with me named allana. The week was easier in the sence that I had help, yet harder in the sence that I was quite sick and my co and I did not get along. We did not see eye to eye on many things at all, and the prospect of working together and having communication was very limited. Though both weeks the girls would cuddle up to me and to allana the second week, we were both exhausted by the end of it and ready for the jr hi's to come back.
Though I could go on forever about how the 2 weeks were and what happened, I wont take up the whole blog. My skills as a sr counselor were tested by these jr's and I am sure that I failed emensly. Hahaha. but hey, thhats bound to happen once and a while. I did however get to help a girl on her journey with christ and giude her to recomitting. which for me was a first ad a great experience. I pray for many more experiences like that this summer...but for now, it's time to go wake my campers up.

So glad we are getting an update.
I can only imagine what you are going through with the kids on your own. I am sorry the Co didn't work out as hoped but it is a life lesson and all things are for a reason.
I miss you and I am praying that the challenges you face are all ones you can handle.
Love you.
