Daycamp run down week 2 and other things

So daycamp has been going great. I'm loving it although I'm having a lot of pain in my ankle (but that's life). Monday they walked (I drove) to the library and got a history lesson from my grandma on the history of Creston. Tues we played counselor hunting (the kids have to find the 4 people hiding) and only 3 kids found me and we had art (why is painting so messy but yet so fun). Weds we played outside dodgeball in the grass and then had another art day. Thurs we had music and then the rain stopped and we tossed water ballons. Friday we played kickball, finished art projects, and the zoo came. It's so much fun to see how the kids react to the zoo. They brought a rat snake, a rabbit, and some ducks (the kids got to feed the ducks). I'm really enjoying camp and only get tested a few times but it's great. Life is awesome despite other trials going on. I now go Monday to see my surgeon about scheduling surgery to have my plate and screws removed. It still won't be until the week of July 12th but that's ok. I gave another lead and it reminds me of why I'm grateful for the life I have had f or the past 15 months. I've spent a lot of time with my grandparents this week (my dad's) due to me singing sunday in church and it's been great to just spend time with them. I'm loving my life :)

This week has been a huge blessing

So daycamp started Monday. I am loving it again this year. I have the walking part worked out with my coworker so I can drive and meet them at each of the places we walk to. Monday my coworker and I split up the age groups and I took the younger 5 and 6 year old kids. The older kids played kick ball. We played duck duck goose, red light green light, and simon says. They also got to play on the playground. We walked to an old house and got to learn the history of it. Tues the fire department came and showed off their truck and also showed the kids what they look like in a fire suit. They played on the playground again and then we played some inside games (upset the fruit basket and heads up 7 up). Weds we did a few races (one called the dragon race) and then just played. They also got to see a race car. Today we made musical intruments, had music, then the kids hunted us (4 staff), then we played dodge ball, and tag. I'm really loving the kids we have and how well they get along together.

Daycamp ramblings

So daycamp started yesterday.......We had over 30 both days........ it is going to be a challenge this year with my ankle the way it is (seeing how basically as soon as daycamp is over I'm going to be having surgery). The walking will be a challenge but so far I've been able to do everything. Tomorrow I'm going to do capture the flag with them.

Life is a trip that's for sure

Hummm so this week has been a crazy hetic week. I found out on Thurs that my plate and screws have to come out in July (well I talked them into waiting until July so I could do daycamp again). There is some sort of mass in my foot around the screws and plates and so when they get in there they will find out what it is. I haven't said anything to my family yet because with my dad being sick I just don't want them to worry about what it could be. I was sick last sunday and monday. I'm going to a wedding tomorrow with a friend and it should be fun. Anyways that is the latest.

Ramblings on the home front

So really not a lot going on. I spent almost 8 hours at the er on sunday sicker than a dog (they ruled it was the small bowel begining to slow but not enough that they sent me home). I got some pain meds in an iv and my sister says that she loves me when I'm on pain meds because I'm funny. I was still sick monday and didn't do much. I feel stuck in my recovery right now. I almost am to the point of not caring what I stand to lose but I know that's not true. I'm taking the next few days to regroup and then daycamp starts a week from monday. I'm excited to spend another summer with the kiddos.

The Knots Prayer

A friend sent this to me in an email this morning and I am striving to let go of some of the "nots" in my life and this is an awesome prayer.

The Knots Prayer

Dear God:

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart, and my life.
Remove the have nots, the can nots, and the do nots that I have in my mind.

Erase the will nots, may nots, mights not that may find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots, and should nots that obstruct my life.

And most of all, Dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart, and my life all of the 'am nots' that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough.

Amen
