I'm out of the honeymoon and things aren't easy right now but I have a lot to be thankful for. Mostly I'm thankful that God knows exactly what I need when I need it. This evening was such an example of that. I was worn out at tired after a long day of awkward conversations and one too many middle school sports games. I was pretty much done being around people but I had told one of my volunteers I'd get dinner this evening. The Lord knew I needed that, it was so refreshing to just have easy, natural, quality coversafion. It's things like that the remind me to trust the Lord, he always knows what we need.

Also, unrelated but I went to Dublin last weekend. Here are a couple pictures:

We had camp a couple weeks ago. It was really encouraging, our students where honest and brave and real in ways that their culture typically discourages. I'm really proud of them. It's always nice coming back from camp and feeling like there are a few more significant relationships because of it. I'm grateful that even though making it happen so soon after I got here was a bit stressful that it fell when it did. God knows what I need.
