Spreading the Weirdness EVEN MORE!

So last time I talked about spreading weirdness to my campers as well as to my boyfriend. Now I've been spreading it to his mother! Every time I am around her she is impacted and acts really weird. (Keep in mind that I am using the word weird in the positive, standing out from the crowd, fun-crazy sort of way.) She has been apologizing for this saying, "I don't know what you do to me, but I act crazy whenever you're around! After you leave, I think, 'What came over me? Why did I act like that?' You just make me feel comfortable and act crazy!" My boyfriend pointed out that her craziness is definitely weirdness! :) ...and that I'm spreading the weirdness to her as well. This does not mean she is not weird on her own, rather that I bring out the full extent by being in her presence and of course being myself! Others have seen her act this crazy/weird in the past, but it is a consistent attitude and behavior when I'm there. I love it! I love having that kind of impact on someone! :: Allowing them to feel comfortable enough to be free, crazy, and especially weird! ::

Spreading the Weirdness

This summer I returned to camp as a camp counselor again. It was an amazing experience. God truly worked; Satan was at work as well which was quite evident, but we did prevail through the Lord's strength! My campers were a great group of ladies this year and I love them dearly. They are a very unique bunch! :)

One night I shared with them about how I LOVE being called weird and told them the whole story behind it and explained that Weird is one of the biggest compliments one could give me! The girls thought it was a great story which explained so much about me. Later they called me weird intentionally as a compliment and I was so touched; they even started using it on each other.... So now the weirdness has spread around the world as my camperinos live out their crazy wonderful lives! :D I miss them so much and am so proud of them as they seek after Christ and His call in their lives.

Now I started a new relationship with a wonderful man of God. When he talked to my dad to ask for his blessing on our relationship, Dad recounted the story of telling me I'm a Weird Welch and of people being upset when I thanked them for the compliment. My boyfriend loved the story! It's great to be surrounded by people who love me for being me, even and especially in my weirdness! <3
