“Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Think about it overnight and remain silent.”
Psalm 4:4
As I was doing my devotions this morning, I could not go on unless I worked through something first. I sat there reading this verse over and over again and felt God convicting me. Finally, I knew that before I could even go on, I needed work through this to let God working in me. There had been something for over a year that has been holding back part of me from God. It is interesting how things can sometimes overtake so many parts of our lives. It is interesting to see how one little thing can grow over time and take control of thoughts, emotions, and even actions. It is interesting that even when we know that these things are taking us over that sometimes we do not want to just let them go. Letting go is not okay with us because that means that we will have to change. However, there is always a point where we need to start to change. God showed me this today, I need to change. In order to change, I need to let things go and give them completely to him. I am not fooling anyone when I just act like I give them to him, it is time to let them go. What a way to start a day, huh? It is not just done and over though, I still need to be conscious of what I decided and need to continue to work on this area. I need to continue to let God work through this area.
By the time I had wrestled through all of this, it was eight in the morning and time to go grab some breakfast for the day. I headed out get breakfast with the rest of the crew and it was awesome. It was a great time of fellowship and a great time of laughs. I am not going to lie, we all know how to have a great time and I am more than happy for that. God has definitely blessed us with a great staff. It is awesome how well we compliment each other and how we all get along with one another. I absolutely love it.
Even though the last three days have been fun and play for us, we had to get to work today. After I filled out a billion pages of paperwork, Daniel took Liz and I on a grand tour of our camp. Now I have been here for about four days now, but today was the first time that I was actually introduced to anything in the camp. Following our “grand tour,” we headed out to start work on our own personal jobs. I spent most of the time looking through past stuff and seeing what I needed to do for this year. I realized that it is not so easy for me to relate things to elementary kids, but I know that I can do it. It will just take a lot more researching resources and really looking into things. I am more and more excited about my job when I do more things that are actually related to it.
Tonight we finished up with some more games as a staff. We played some Mafia, which were the lamest games of Mafia that I have ever played. Finally, we all gave up on that game and moved to a much better one, Psychiatrist. This game really let us show who we were and it was hilarious to watch people in our group act. I might say that I was thoroughly entertained the whole time.
