I'm not going into a lot of detail here, but I've been kind of depressed lately with all the stuff going on in my life right now. It's kinda nice that I get to go to this Christian camp a whole lot (working a few weeks and attending a few weeks) so it's like an escape from all the crud but when I come home at the end of the week it's like "wow this really stinks."
Another thing I've been struggling with (that sort of added to the slight depression) is that while I've been working there I feel really insignificant. Not because of the co-workers, employers, or work environment--but I'd see the guest speaker or counselors speaking powerful messages or something and all of these kids would get saved and what do I do? I mop floors, wash fifty jillion dishes, etc. etc. etc. and I feel like I want to do something more but anything I do is just insignificant and like it's not worth anything. I prayed about it and the same day I got an extremely encouraging email from my dad about how one of the pastors there was talking to my mom about how I was keeping up morale by making people laugh, worked hard, yadda yadda, and my dad just told me how proud he was of me and stuff, and because of the feeling of uselessness on my part and some other stuff that's going on in my life I just read it a couple times over and cried for a really long time.
Yeah, so that's about it right now. This has been a public service announcement by Chicken Soup.
