Camp Bighorn Day 39 7/28/2010

My Camp Bighorn adventure continues. My day began with devotions at 7:30 am. We all gathered in the lodge to go through the reading in our devotional books for the day. The title of the reading for the day was “Empowered by the Holy Spirit.” The reading talked about what it means to be empowered by the Holy Spirit while working at camp for the summer. The scripture reading for the day was Ezekiel 36:22-32. After devotions and announcements I went back to my cabin to get cleaned up and ready for the day. When I finished getting ready I got the mail out and then headed to the lodge to get some breakfast. We all enjoyed some great food and fellowship around the tables. We had pancakes. They were great. After breakfast I came back to the office and waited for the mail to arrive. I checked some things on my computer. I checked e-mail and facebook. When the mail arrived I sorted and distributed it. After I took care of the mail I went back to the office. I was going to be out taking pictures of some of the events around camp but my ankle was hurting really bad. So I spent most of the morning in the office covering phones and working on my computer. Then it was time for lunch. We all gathered in the lodge for some food. It was nice to catch up with some people and hear about what they had been up to all morning. After lunch I came back into the office and checked my e-mail and covered the phones. I worked on my resume for a while. I am feeling stressed about not having a job lined up when I get back to Spokane. I got an e-mail from my sister in law about things I need to fix on my resume. She was very encouraging. However after I read her e-mail I suddenly felt really stressed. I talked with Sarah, Beth, and Andrea about what I was feeling stressed and over whelmed about. They all help me to calm down and relax about the situation. It was good to talk with all of them. When I was done talking with them I made some copies of a couple of applications and resumes for Luke. Then it was time for dinner. We all gathered for great food and fellowship at the tables. It was fun to hear about what some of the campers and staff had been up to all afternoon. After dinner I had a soda and some chocolate cake. I sat out on the lodge steps and watched the thunderstorm. It was really fun to just sit out and watch the rain and lightning and listen to the thunder. I joined a group of people sitting on the lodge steps. We talked and watched the storm for a while. While we were talking Dianna told us part of her life story. It was fun to learn about her life a little bit. She told us about a plane crash she was in when she was 17 years old. Her mom died in the crash. Some parts of the story were hard to hear. Dianna is a survivor in every sense of the word. God has protected her many times in her life. We talked for a while longer. Then I headed into the lodge to see what was going on in there. It is really great to be around people who are having fun just being together. I hung out in the lodge for a while then headed to my cabin to get some sleep. I talked with some of the girls in my cabin for a while. Then I got ready for bed and lay down to get some sleep. I went to sleep thinking about what was in store for us in the days ahead. More on that later…
