It's been a pretty busy week. We started training for summer camp on Monday, and it's been pretty great. The people I'm working with are awesome, and I have a feeling it's gonna be great once camps start next week. I mean, I'll be getting paid to play games with kids all day. In fact, we were told if we didn't play with them we weren't doing our jobs correctly. Awesome, right?
In other news, one of my best friends from church back home is getting married tomorrow, and it's pretty exciting. Weird to think that she's gonna be married, but great. I'm friends with her husband-to-be as well, and I'm super happy for both of them. They're great people and they're great together. They also both love Jesus, which is awesome. I'm of the firm belief that the vast majority of the time a believer who is seeking Christ and a nonbeliever (or a believer who isn't focused on putting God first) shouldn't be in a romantic relationship of any kind. I've seen it happen in my life and in the lives of friends; the one who is seeking Christ begins to compromise on "small" things to make the other person happy, and before long they're compromising on bigger and more important things and have turned from the life they were living to one that is no longer pleasing to God. I've done it, and I know others that have as well. On the other hand, when two strong believers are dating/engaged/married and they're both putting God first and pursuing His will together, awesome things happen. I've seen this too. Marriage, when entered into correctly, is beautiful. Just like everything else, when we do it the way God intended it is infinitely better than anything we could dream up ourselves. I hope to get married someday; I pray that God has a woman for me to love, cherish, put before myself, and pursue Him with, who can love me despite my many mistakes and failings. It truly is a beautiful thing.
Congratulations Lauren and Jake!!!
