Camp Dilemmas

About two weeks ago, I arrived here as a camp counselor. During training, I discovered this bald spot above and behind my left ear. It is a really odd shape, so it actually is larger than this picture shows due to being partially covered by some other hair. Anyway, I was so upset and disappointed by this discovery. It is an awful spot. I have to be extremely careful when I wear my hair down that the front hairs are brushed back. If I put some hair up, I have to ensure that it is pinned back far enough that the part does not land on the bald spot.


Unfortunately, I'm starting to get a similar spot on the opposite side of my head... and camp isn't helping me "be good" this year like it did last summer. I felt so busy that I didn't have time to pull. My hands and mind were constantly occupied. For some reason, I feel a lot more pressure this year and have been pulling a LOT! I don't know what to do about it! I shared my struggle with my girls during devotions yesterday, but since I had the day off today, I have not experienced any accountability from that yet. It also means I had even more opportunity to pull, as I spent a lot of time alone. :( Also because I am an extreme extravert, it is not a good idea for me to spend time alone!

Please pray for me (to stop, to have peace, and to trust the Lord)... and for my campers (to have the courage to tell me to stop, as well as to grow in the Lord themselves)!
