so, working at a camp sometimes feels like you're in a bubble. you see the same people everyday and to "take a risk" in talking to someone doesn't always feel like a risk. so sometimes, like today, i went through the day not really "feeling" like i was supposed to talk specifically to someone or ask someone if they needed prayer for anything. i prayed for people in my mind and heart and really enjoyed my time with them...but my risk came in a different form.
do you ever ask God for something...and then wonder if it's ok to ask Him for that thing? yeah. well, that happened today. today, i took a risk and asked God for hugs. i've literally been aching for more hugs...so i decided that i'd voice it to God...and trust Him for whatever that looked like. so i went through my day...and there were actually quite a few times when people came up to me and voluntarily gave me a hug. wow. my heart. so full. but there was one in particular that stood out to me.
i work with my friend Brittany every day. we're in Guest Services together...and she's always got me laughing. there is NEVER a dull moment with her!! she keeps me sane and has told me, "molly, you can't take life so seriously." and she helps me do just that. well...today after lunch, i stood up to leave and she was sitting next to me. i started walking and she tapped my arm...and then just wrapped me up in a full hug. it was honestly the best. i don't know what it was about it...but receiving that hug from her just filled me to the brim. i felt safe and SO loved.
so...thanks, Brittany. you were an answer to prayer today. and to the others that gave me hugs today? couldn't have gotten through it without you.
thanks, God. <3 br="">
