It’s been awhile since I’ve found myself on a non-Monday sitting at a computer with internet. And I am SO happy to be here. I’m working at camp right now, but they asked me to cover the phones while all the kids went skating. No problem. The last time I blogged I was teaching PE. I feel like that was about 200 years ago. Needless to say, lots has happened in 200 years. But for the last 3ish weeks I’ve been working with Desire Street Ministries and St. Roch Community Church Day Camp. I love it. It’s what a summer camp should be like, lots of free play and field trips.
Even though I’ll be leaving New Orleans in a few weeks life still feels very normal. We’re doing the same stuff, hanging out with the same people, arguing over the same things, getting up at the same time. Every once and awhile I’ll think about the change that’s coming sometimes it makes me excited and sometimes it makes me sad. There’s a list of things I love about where I am and what I’m doing. But I think one of the things that makes the list so long is that the time frame is limited. I’ve seized so many opportunities this year because I knew I only had one year to live on Music Street, go to First Pilgrims Baptist Church, be with my roommates, volunteer wherever I was volunteering, experience New Orleans. Now that I only have a few more weeks I’m still trying to live fully present in my life here. I’m trying to make my list of loves alittle longer and alittle deeper. I have no doubt it will happen.
