will play for applications

just a fun way to sum up the last week or two...
a week ago i was staying up late and waking up early...all for the women's retreat...in light of things, i didn't have many repsonsibilities, but still had tons on my plate! before i knew it 130 women (including my mom) were on camp and the tears and hormones were escalated by "prizes for best urinal use"...so funny!
i got to help out with the praise and worship stuff which was by far the highlight of my weekend and unlike any experience i've ever had. i loved it. now that i've gotten my "rock star ego" out of the way, i'm hoping God will continue to present me with more opportunities like it
monday and outdoor ed came too quickly...along with a kid who fell through the ice (i've never run so fast in my entire existence)...no worries, he was okay. my adrenaline however, has never been so high! monday also brought an adventure into ft wayne to see becky who would be moving to connecticuit on wed. food, dessert, laughter, and cards...and i didn't get to bed til 3am. my alarm went off at 6am to begin the roadtrip adventure! valpo and cuc.
not gonna lie-valpo was a long day. but seeing kids genuinely excited about working at camp ignited that for me. and i got to see jen!
cuc=seeing lots of people i love and miss already...combined with an evening of sub T's and glow in the dark putt putt (thanks ben and kiki) and simply great opportunities to get to talk witk kiki!
thursday brought some less intense recruiting-and by then i was sick if the intro to the nloma promo video (i will call upon the Lord). we were throwing yo yos at people as the walked by and playing the 12 string which had a sign in it's case "will play for applications"...not certain we got any by that method...but i did get about 10 small children to stop and sing with me. it was the highlight of my trip. they were so precious and before i knew it, they were on their way...
add on some more hugs and a trip for chicago style pizza...a drive by of the navy pier and we were home to lutherhaven where we stopped to look at the stars and thank God for a safe journey.
now begins the process of praying over all the applications and seeing what happens next. both in their lives and in mine!
