It’s crazy that a 3 minute and 30 second video can take 7 1/2 hours to shoot, import, edit and finish. Ridiculous. The final product is great, but worth that much? I guess that’s up to the campers. Today was another good reminder that we should not be trusting technology. The program crashed twice and one of the times cost me 45 minutes worth of work, quite annoying considering my deadline was 20 minutes away. Oh stress, it follows me. Aaron did a great job and filming was fun. I have been encouraged in that tons of kids want to be in the videos and love that we have them so that’s very encouraging.
One way I receive love from people is words of affirmation. What this means is a kind word means the world to me. It also means that a harsh word can be devastating. I have had to, due to the nature of m job, build a resistance to this devastation. But I’m not immune by any stretch.
This week has brought two light two things I need to work on (1) My memory (2) my skepticism. My memory, specifically in the area of remembering names. If ever I think I am doing better camp is willing to step in to remind me I suck at it. There are so many awesome kids whose faces I remember but names… no clue. I know that a simple thing like this means the world to students and I really want to get better at it. But I don’t know how. Any suggestions?
About a week ago Moriah, the sister I always wanted, was talking to me about the middle school camp she recently attended. It was incredibly obvious that God moved in amazing ways. God changed the hearts of everyone there student and leader. It was amazing. I loved hearing this, loved hearing how she grew and how God moved. What I realized is when I am faced with aspects of God I don’t understand i.e. spiritual warfare, I get skeptical. I know this truth wholeheartedly (Ephesians 6:10-20) points directly to it. I even recently wrote a devotional on it (Here), yet when I am faced with it… I get skeptical. I don’t want to and I am striving to always keep heavenly minded, but I fail so often. Lord Help me.
Random thoughts for the day:
“My bones heart, is this what shin splints feel like?”
“Why does Aaron always add saracha to his meals, this won’t end well.”
“Is a horse dying in my room” (after being woke up at 3 a.m. to snoring)
“Ahhhhh yeah, I pass for a 20 year old”
“To much… unexpected mustache”
