Encumbered (see Heb. 12:1)

I must keep this short since I'm in much need of sleep and will be doing that for my hour off. I have a few prayer requests to bring before you however. Things have grown increasingly more difficult since the last post. My g i r l s are great but my personal struggles have increased. There are many things I'm trying to eork through in my minf and heart and it is very difficult to counsel when you're trying to get yourself through just as many things as you are your campers. It leaves you feeling like a hypocrite and completely incapable of doing your job as well as being very distracting. On top of all my personal emotional and spiritaul struggles, I'm also struggling physically. I am really exhausted/tired (which is why I'm going to go sleep) and though I'm not sick (haha well not yet anyway), I feel really blah and have a number of pains I'm dealing with including but not limited to my finger. Tuesday night I slammed my finger in my cabin door. I got some ice and figured the pain would go away in alittle while. Well I took the ice off for the night but put some on again afterwards cause it hurt so much. It didn't go away overnight so All day yesterday I was walking around with ice: ice on, ice off, ice on, ice off (in addition to pain and anti-inflamatory meds). I'm trying to not do ice today to get myself using it more but it's still swollen and hurts with any pressure. The bottom half of my nail is a purplish black color and there's a good chance I'll loose thw nail (a horrifically disqudting thought to me). But the finger can't be used much. I apologize for my poor typing but I'm not using the finger and don't have time to go and fix all the mistakes. I am honestly really really really struggling and your prayers would be much appreciated. These campers deserve my all and they're not getting it - which makes me feel worse.

I'm sorry to write such a sorry and "down" post, but your prayers would be much appreciated in my struggle. I feel silly for struggling with something like my finger but it's a decent hinderance and it's amazing how much an injured index finger can effect your ilfe and attitude.

Another note: I've been told that misterious "s" has appeared in my blog again. "S" is the letter that the funky camp internet puts in place of the word "g i r l s" I tried everything last year to get around it anf all i could do was space it out. I will try to do that from now on - sorry about the confusion!
