Well, I've been back from camp for a week....seems like a month. This has been one busy summer.
We had a great time at camp. I had never been but this was oldest, Derek's 5th year. i was so impressed. Everything surpassed my expectation. I really enjoyed being with the kids. Playing with them, encouraging, comforting and praying with them. I blessed by the opportunity. Tubing down the creek was probably my fav. We spent lots of time at the pool and on the playground playing tetherball. Whew....that is a fierce game. My fore arms were so sore. The inflatibles were fun. Especially the obstacle course. The kids were always asking to race and the chaperones too! I was a mess by the time I finished it. The services were outstanding. The Daugherty's (from Texas)ministered to the children in 2 services a day. They were spectacular. The children's hearts were so moved. Watching them worship and pray for eachother...it was inspiring. I noticed 3 little girls huddled together on the floor during an alter call, one was really crying. I went over and asked them if I could pray with them. When we finished they were so emotional and one little girl said, " I think this is so awesome, seeing all these people just trusting in God."
Another time my daughter, Elizabeth, looked at me and said what are we s'pose to pray about? That evening the focus was trusting Jesus through your problems. She said,"but I don't have any problems." So, I told her she could go and pray for her friends. She came back maybe 15 minutes later sobbing. She didn't know why though. I told her it was just God touching her heart. It took her probably 45 minutes before she returned to normal. It was so sweet.
It was just a great time and when we got back, I immediatly said to sign my up for next year!
Here is picture of our group............
