Snow Plunging Power

Well the first part of this title won't be hard to explain. There is NO snow where I live in Oregon. I'm beginning to think that it doesn't snow in Oregon at all. I see pictures of it and hear advertisements for ski resorts on the radio, but I have yet to see it. I am currently at camp where the elevation is about 3000 ft. and still NO snow. I can see the snow on the higher peaks, but I think it is God just teasing me by dabbing some white out on the mountains to trick my mind into thinking there is hope. I feel worse for my new Sorel winter boots my Dad bought me for Christmas. The most action they will get is the pity walk out to the trash and back to make them feel useful. Hopefully by writing this post it will snow and I will get to put my boots to the test. Crossed fingers.
I successfully plunged a toilet today. It is not my favorite thing to do because it makes me gag hard core. I had to put the top of my sweatshirt over my nose to block the smell and muffle the gagging noise I was making so I wouldn't scare my camper. It took about 5 sturdy plunges from what I could see through my tearing eyes to get all the nasty ( I won't even describe what it looked it ) stuff to swish down the porcelain hole of no return. I felt accomplished and ran out of the bathroom to one, run from the sight of a toilet and two, ensure my camper that yes, I could fix anything.
My one camper, (that clogged the toilet) loves to sing praise songs. She brought a whole CD case full of them to camp for her 3 day respite. I thought it would be nice to put on a concert for the other staff members. We made concert tickets as a craft and invited everyone at dinner last night. All were in attendance as my camper friend and I sang "Here I am to Worship", "Sanctuary", and "I Stand in Awe." Once again it happened. At a time when I needed it the most the exact camper came along that touched my heart. As we sang her 3 favorite praise songs together arm and arm I was reminded why I am here. No more then 30 minutes early I was grumbling inside about the things that I thought were going wrong in my life. God showed me that I am here to worship Him, be HIS sanctuary, and just shut up and stand in awe of Him and all He has done for me. I had to close my eyes as we sang and she wrapped her 5 ft. 2 frame around mine in hopes that no one could read the expression on my face. As I cried on the inside praising God for the blessing in my life and the lessons I learn from snow, plunging, and His power.
