Difficult on the Psyche

We have been at camps each week for about a month now. There is one thing that I've noticed and remember from last year. It's hard to go from Friday of one week to Monday of the next week. On Friday, everyone treats you almost like a rock star at camp (in the pseudo world of camp, everyone onstage is equal to a movie star by the end of the week).

However, on Monday, you feel as if the students are saying, "Prove yourself to me!" On Tuesday, they are still checking you out.

We've noticed that on Wednesday morning, there is a turning point. By Wednesday night, the crowd is all about you. Last night, there were grown men jumping up and down asking Brock to use them onstage.

It's a funny thing how that works. At the beginning of every week, I think this group is not like the last one. They don't like us as much. By Wednesday night, I'm thinking that they love us and I love them too! It's a strange phenomenon that is difficult on the psyche.

I guess it's a little like high school...only you're going from a freshman to a senior in one week flat, then you have to start over again and again!

What a ride. Prayed for you this morning :)
