This morning’s team devotion was really good. We each had 10 minutes to write our own creeds. We were cautioned not to follow any of the creeds we know too closely, but to write our own. We then read them aloud – it was so interesting to hear how each of us approached it so very differently: Ludvigs talked most about God’s relationship to us. Elliot’s theme was the awesomeness of God. Kaitie focused on God’s unconditional love. Dave has a passion for scripture and that was evidenced in his creed. I highly recommend this activity.
Today we prepared what is called a need skit. It is part of the program where our need for God is highlighted. We got about 2 hours to come up with and practice our skit, and then we presented it after dinner. Each team prepared one and there were a lot of great ideas! Not to brag, but the staff watching and giving tips and tricks didn’t have any criticism for us, constructive or otherwise!!!
At tonight’s Meet By Team we learned about conflict. Basically, there will be some. Possibly a lot. We are a team of avoiders and peacemakers. This indicates we could have no visible conflict, but we then would have undercurrents of anger and resentment. Lets pray against that, shall we?!
Tonight I got to learn how to play rook, or at least the fundamentals. I have no strategy yet though. I had a great conversation with Christine, an alumni on staff who works with special needs kids at her ‘real job.’ We bonded quickly over cute kid stories and our unsureness about future plans. She has said she transposes well, so I might ask if she can help find some better keys for some of our songs.
