I emerged from my cave today for a temporary outing to a swimming pool. I did not swim, but enjoyed the light of day and the companionship of Tita Pat.
At one point, I returned to my cave-woman tendencies by swinging on a vine. Gripping a vine is not the same as gripping a computer or my hair. I need some swinging practice.
I am going to Youth Camp, with or without the workbook finished. I have about 20 pages left to create, then I have to edit and format the entire thing. I think it will be close to 200 pages by the time I am done. I will bring my computer with me to finish it there as well as leave a copy of my work behind for someone else to edit and or finish.
At Youth Camp, I will be speaking twice. On Monday, my topic is "Destined to Rule." On Wednesday, my topic is "Power Night." I have no idea what I'm going to say! Holy Spirit, I trust you!
I would not have survived the week without my friends bringing me food, coming to hang out, and forcing me to take breaks. Cheryl, Solomon, Dianne, Jen-Jen, and Janet were special expressions of Christ's love this week. I'm going to miss them so much!
I also would not have survived without the sermons and music I have on my computer. There were so many moments where I'd be working, listening to a sermon or a song, and just weep because of God's encouragement to me through it. I am so grateful for the gift of technology!
At Youth Camp, I will not have internet access. We will be sleeping in tents. There are 80-100 youth/young adults scheduled to attend. Please keep us in your prayers that God would encounter hearts in a lasting way.
It's time to return to my cave and see if I can finish this workbook. We leave at 4am Monday morning.
PS I leave the Philippines May 7th and will be back in Texas on May 9th. 15 more days to Texas!
