Hello all. i realize that i have not written in almost three weeks, but i have an excuse for that...pathetic internet here at home. anyways, my mind is everywhere right now as i am finishing up all my last minute packing for camp. i have had two weeks to start and go through my college stuff and figure out what i need for camp, but i waited until today to start, hence the mind in 1000 directions! i am really excited to get back up to camp. i don't normally do so well with change, and with all the staff changes it can be challenging, but this year seems to be shaping up well and it will be more than i could ever expect, i'm sure. tomorrow i will head out for minneapolis and stay with brookie and eric where i will meet up with the lovely katie, who will drive up to camp the next day with me. this summer i would like you all to keep a few prayer requests in mind for me.
1. safe travels. the trip is 17 hours one way and i will be going to some camp friends' wedding during my time at camp on top of all the traveling we do on our days off.
2. the new staff. that we all mold well together and new and intentional friendships are formed.
3. energy. energy to get me through work that can get to be monotonous, especially after a few years of doing some of the tasks.
4. focus.
if any of you would like to write me while i'm up at camp, i would love to hear from you and maybe if you are lucky, i will send one back! here it is:
Camp Paradise
Gretchen Luhmann
P.O. Box 657
Newberry, MI 49868
P.S. i almost forgot to pack my watch and alarm clock. that is a big no-no at camp paradise!
i hope you all have a jolly good summer and i will see you soon!
