3 out of 5

In the last three weeks I have survived freezing nights in camp ground without blankets, a sinus infection and ear infection, a lost voice while trying to lead four to five forty minute music periods a day for four days straight, poison ivy and some other from of irritant, and more hugs than any introvert should have to handle.

And I've loved every single minute of it.

Music at 1C, my dream job of assistant director at 2C, and now the senior of seven adorable 6th grade girls, my day to day life in July has been one big dream.  Somehow among all the chaos and magic, I've found a lot of time for God in my daily life. Rosary for bed, meditating on a different form of prayer each time; praise, thanksgiving, blessing/adoration, petition, and intercession, helping to keep myself focused on my prayers but still "covering all my bases".  On Thursday nights at Camp, the entire group is lucky enough to experience a penance service and adoration.  Sitting in adoration, listening to the same playlist twice now, one song has hit home twice now.

"Beautiful Things" by Gungor starts with this low drone, and even the first time I heard it, not in adoration I could tell this song was going to stick with me, and it has.  The lyrics are simple enough to remain with you, but they also have a second layer within them, making them something worthy of quiet contemplation in a setting such as adoration.

With so much camp on my hands, I hardly have time for anything else, let alone keeping my blog updated, but I thought, if anything, I could share the a song that has been helping me along in my spiritual journey this summer.

Totus tuus,

LeAnn
