I didn't get much sleep last night trying to get stuff ready for girl's camp, but it was nice visiting time with Granny Joy while she was helping me. I went to bed at 2am-ish and then up at 5am to put the pot-luck together for Shanna and Larisa to take to camp at 6am with the girls. Just Austin and I running around town from 6am until 10am this morning getting 2 new tires (goodbye, $500 I didn't want to spend), editing and developing picture "tokens" of girls for camp to take to them that afternoon, sheets/bedding for girls who forgot theirs, snacks for girls, and finally back to my house to get a shower (don't know the last time I got one of those) to head to girls camp. I was lucky enough to get to go to girl's camp for the day with Kimberlina because Felicia was awesome enough to watch James and Jade today. In all the early morning running around I did get to stop at a few lights and look up. It's amazing what it changes in you to pause and just look up at the blue sky and white clouds to realize there is still someone above watching out for all of us. He was watching out for me in all the moments of my phone calls, texts, busy, busy, busy, busy to get it all done. He loves us and wants everyone to be happy, get along and just enjoy this beautiful world around us.
I'm so grateful I got to go to camp even just for a few hours. I love camp and know the my girls will grow from the amazing experience it is. Camp always was a testimony-builder for me. I did get to pause and look around me more at the wonderful friends and beauties of his creation. I even got to take a little piece of camp home with me - a cute backpack to remember the 100 years of Young Women Camping and some mosquito bites.
