Day 3 of camp

Still plowing through the first week. For many it is filled with "firsts"....first cabin clean up, first water fight, first night of Mission Impossible, etc....there seems to be lots of joy and anticipation in the "firsts". Makes for a fun week of camp :) If only that air of "firsts" could stay all summer....if only the enthusiasm could remain til the end. But unfortunately, the fatigue will set in, the tiredness will come, and everyones patience will wear thin....our faces will look more weary, our steps will be heavier and our smiles will be more forced....it's just the nature of this kind of job. The new will be replaced with the mundane. So, for now, I'm going to enjoy the excitement of the first week...praying it will last a little longer. I am thankful that even though we can easily grow weary of 'doing good', the Lord's faithfulness is new every morning! That should give us all reason to rejoice in our ministries. Please pray that I will seek the "newness" of God with each new day.....onward!!!
