week onepoint7

last week was tiresome, stressful; a trainwreck.
we had a situation at camp that had activities shut down, people in panic & leadership baffled.
i must admit, my attitude during this was crappy. i was whiny, angry, panicked & selfish. i went home upset & stressed which then carried over to coming back stressed and unrested.

god wrecked that.

number one, he said erica, shut up, im going to take care of you. actually it went more like this: when the poor and needy search for water and there is none, and their tongues are parched from thirst, then I, the Lord, will answer them. I, the God of Israel, will never abandon them. [isaiah 41:17] point taken god, thanks.

number two, i was reminded that this is week 1.7...one.point.seven. not week 6.7, not leftovers from last week plus some new stuff from this week, but a completely different week; a week full of opportunity & chances to make things good. the attitudes of the people around me were contagious, the hope of week 1.7 creeped into my heart & i was so thankful for the gentle reminder.

number three, god changed my life. but that deserves its own title, its own post, its own space. simply put, god is loving, he is amazing & gracious, he cares & hopes & holds on.

week 1.7? best.week.ever.
