That is the name of the disease I suffer from. I have terminal, fatal, absolutely incurable and destructive disorganitis. I can't keep track of anything, I lose half of my possessions. I pile things up until I can't stand it, and then I can't find anything in the chaos. People try to help me, offer advice, give me ideas and suggestions, and they work for about a day. And then they don't work for more than that day... and I'm back to being disorganized to death. I am literally stressed out beyond all reason about this. I'm losing important things, missing deadlines because stuff gets covered up... I don't know what to do!
This pretty much stinks.

Wow, such a long time...
A thousand apologies for the complete lack of updating on my part. The summer turned out to be crazier than I thought it would be, and I didn't have time to update facebook AND a blog, so I just updated FB. Horrible? Perhaps. Bottom line from the summer of working camp:
GOD IS ENOUGH. No really, He is! I saw God work in so many amazing ways, through kids, through counselors, through fellow staff members, through parents and younger siblings, through volunteers, through music, through Creation... it was by far one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I will never forget my summer with WinShape Camps C3!!
Since the summer, I've gotten back into the swing of teaching life again. This year is going better, considering I had a much better idea of what to expect as I came into the year. I have four classes of freshmen, and starting with a clean slate has been fantastic with them. None of them know I was too nice last year... ha! I do have two classes of students from last year, and that's a challenge. But God is teaching me to love them even when it feels like they're my enemies (which is, like, every day...)
As to what God is teaching, oh my goodness, where to start? Patience is the newest and most relevant one (to be explained later...) He continues to show me just how powerful and AMAZING his grace really is. We could never deserve it, never earn it, never understand it, He just keeps dumping it out on us every day to excess. What a great God!!
Speaking of pouring out blessings, there's also a new blessing in my life, and his name is Chris :) for some reason, God saw fit to bring this great man of God into my life unexpectedly this summer while I was at camp. After about a month of talking via email and phone, we met in person and well, the rest is history. I'm only happier when I'm fellowshipping with my Savior, if that clears it up! I don't deserve someone so kind and level-headed and practical, and AWESOME as he is, but that's how God works, isn't it? Once we finally let go of those things we think are so precious, and just trust Him to bring us whatever it is He wants, we get something SO AMAZING we couldn't have ever imagined it! So cool :)
So apologies again for the delay in updating. Chris is actually the one who told me I should update, so thank him for this post! Much love to everyone, and I pray God's richest blessings over your lives!!
