Highlights and Bruises

This weekend I had the opportunity to volunteer up at Camp Shamineau! Camp has a special place in heart. I have spent the last 4 summers of my life there, working-serving camp and being a counselor. Being a counselor is one of the most rewarding jobs. Not only do I get to be crazy, weird, and goofy with kids, but I also have the opportunity to share the love of Jesus Christ with the kids. I always love to come back in the Fall and work some of the Fall Flings and in the Spring, Mother-Daughter. Camp Shamineau puts on some pretty crazy and extremely fun retreats. This weekend I ran a couple activities: Karoke (I even blessed the crowd with some of my incredible gifts of singing and dancing), cleaning the bathrooms, working on the High Ropes course-I got Shamineau belayed certified-, and campfire donuts. I think the hardest job was campfire donuts-it took a lot of self control not to eat more than the 7 donuts I did eat.

Not only did I get to do all those fun things, but I also sprained, rolled, twisted? my ankle. Starting with breaking my nose at camp this summer, getting hurt has not ended yet. Normally I don't get hurt very much-I am just a little klutzy. But in the last 4 months I have: broken my nose, sprained my ankle, bit by a deer fly (I am allergic to their bites), messed up my knees, stomach issues (stomach ulcer?), and now rolled my ankle-again. Thankfully only one...scratch that two... of those things have required a doctor's visit. I am hoping that this will be the end of all the PAIN? My friends think I am a druggie, because you can hear the clinking of my baggie of my painkillers as I walk. Oh well, even though I have been hurt so many times this summer and fall, I am going to keep blessing the Lord, just as my favorite song reminds me too.
