Today a group of 30 teens on a senior class trip from Georgia arrived to work and play in the snow. Have I mentioned we have been getting non stop snow for the past few days. Thursday we are hitting the mountains for some powder play time with the group! Anyways today Verena and I were in charge of organizing group work around camp. Literally about 2 hours in we ran out of work and had to invent stuff for them to do. Picture if you can our laundry room (which of course you have never seen, but try anyways) totally filled with kids sanding, vacuming, dustin, mopping, lifting heavy stuff, shaking blankets, and throwing stuff outside the door to empty the room. Needless to say it was such a mess, but after a few hours of elbow grease it is looking fine! This evening the group had worship and a sermon on Abraham leaving behind his security. It got me thinking of how God sometimes makes us leave our family, our friends, and our land like in this story in order to bring us closer to him. The concept itself if one of those no duh ones and yet if you stop and really think about the idea it can be pretty hard to fathom. I for one do NOT LIKE to leave my security. With less than a week left in my France trip I can still admit how scary it is to me that I live here and that I did and have left my security of family, friends, and land. I would suggest it to everyone actually. It really makes you think not only about what's important, but also about your idols that sometimes you need to leave in order to recognize. So yes I liked the sermon tonight and it made me think during my last week here. I hope that you all had a blessed Easter and continue to enjoy the beginning of your weeks!
Peace in Christ,
