Blessings.

every once in a while, i realize how oblivious i can be. 

lately, i looked through some of my old posts and i was reading the one right before i headed off to camp. i had four very specific requests and now that i look back, i can see how God really fulfilled every one of those requests, even when i didn't notice it.

1. even though i was going to michigan in the buick that is waiting to die, i made it safely there and back and had some wonderful conversations that helped me to get to know a few people way better.

2. the new staff was great; never have i felt that the whole staff was able to get along and get that close in just one summer's time. i definitely became much closer with a few people, even some people that i just met this summer and others, that i have known but learned so much more about them this summer. all in all, it was a huge blessing.

3. i think i mentioned this before, but this summer at camp, i had a renewed sense of passion for camp. all of a sudden, the campers and their short encounter with camp, meant a lot to me. comfort didn't seem to matter all that much as long as i was able to affect the way dads and daughters/sons grew together.

4. what i set out to accomplish this summer, i was able to do because of the focus that i, and others, prayed for.

i think i need to write more prayers out so that i can fully realize how big God is and how he never fails us. you should try it too. let me know how that goes.

                 p.s. october is another blessing. it really is the best month of the year!
