Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will
worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
It has been a long week. There has
been a lot on my mind. I arrived at Camp on Thursday, May 24th. The
next day I left for Seattle, WA. I returned to camp the following Tuesday. I
began staff training that night and kids arrive on Sunday, June 10th.
This week there have been several things on my mind. School work has been one
of them. I am entering my final week of class, taking four classes, trying to
keep up. It’s an uphill climb to the end, but I am pushing towards that end to
get finished. Then there has been staff week.
This week I have been thinking a
lot about why I’m here. Why did I choose to come back for a fourth summer? Why
did I choose to say no to other opportunities, opportunities that would take me
away from camp? What is going to happen after this summer? Will this be my last
summer here? I have found that the more I focus on what’s ahead, the more I
become distracted from what’s happening now.
My goal this summer is to work
hard, and stay in the moment. Not to worry about what will happen at the end of
the summer, this fall, or beyond. Focus on the here and now so that I don’t let
a moment go by. Matthew 6:34 is a good reminder of this. The kids have arrived
and it will be a good summer!
