A month is gone

Well we just got back from spending a month in Colorado on assignment at Trail West (younglife's family camp). When people hear that we get to spend a month in Colorado as part of my job they think lucky dog. I would agree but it's not all a cake walk by any means. While on assignment you spend 7 days a week working with people from 7:00 in the morning until 12:00 midnight. I wouldn't change it for the world but assignments are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually draining. It really is better to give than recieve, but all of us need times of refreshment, so after a month of giving out totally I'm ready for a few days of nothing. That is why we came to Odessa, to take a few days before I get back in the race of hanging out with kids, trying to get more kids to our camp at the end of July, raising money for our area, recruiting new leaders and staying in touch with all the kids, leaders and donars that are already in our circles. I love what I do that is for sure, just need to recharge sometimes. Well just wanted to let you know why I haven't written in a month. Hope your summer is going well and say a prayer for us and our kids if you get a chance. By the way my own kids and Kristen had a blast at Trail West, someone always to play with, someone else to cook and clean for you, life was good for the family, they are having withdrawals! Talk with you soon.
