Drawing the Best Out

“Before the Lord, in the silence of your hearts, some of you may feel called to follow him in a more radical way in the priesthood or the consecrated life. Do not be afraid to listen to this call and to respond with joy,” the Pontiff encouraged. “As I said at the inauguration of my pontificate, God takes nothing away from those who give themselves to him. On the contrary, he gives them everything. He comes to draw out the best that is in each one of us, so that our lives can truly flourish.” - Pope Benedict XVI  (Source)

Re: the red words… NO KIDDING!

Camp started today. A growing experience. I love being with the kids, but I feel overwhelmed. It will get better. You kind of just have to make it up as you go along. Improvisation. Spontaneity. Flexibility. Ingenuity.

I have a new found respect for camp counselors.

And it’s only been one day!

What age group are you working with?
Try working with inner city 12 year olds when you are 16! ha…that was a fun experience…ooo wee, but it was also a growing experience for all of us!

Improvisation is an extremely important skill for a teacher. Just keep doing what you’re doing and you’ll be fine.

Have fun at camp! Praying for you!

Great quote by the Pope.

Blessings and Joys!
