"To pursue intimacy with Christ, you'll have to fight for it. "

Today we had volunteers at camp, and they were amazing! Lots of paperwork got done and they helped clear an area for a back deck in the house I will be moving into during the summer. I was able to talk with them and also get some paperwork completed too today. Everyone at camp has gotten sick over the last week, so we've had to band together to get everything done!

This lead to my minor freak out moment today - it is only 28 days away from staff training. AHHHH! There is still so much to be done to get ready (imagine planning a wedding/ party that last 80 days + handling all of the personal relationships + having programs/ people that help campers become better people= planning for summer camp). I probably had a small 30-second panic attack -then I got back to what I was doing...

Later I walked into my coordinator's apartment - he has a stained-glass cross hanging on one of his windows. It hit me - God spoke to me. It was one of those moments when everything is crystal clear. I am supposed to pursue God and give Him all my anxiety, fears, happiness, everything. It will be OK. It will better than OK - it will be exceptional!

I have read Captivating two times and I absolutely love what I gained from it. The title of this post is quote from the book. I very much believe that we get "too busy" in our lives to pursue intimate relationships with God and those around us. So I'm challenging myself to not only spend more time in my relationship with God, but with those I come into contact daily. I feel that by doing both, I will more likely pursue the other too. How can you intentionally pursue a more fulfilling relationship with God and what will you do to become closer to those around you?

Much love :)
