I'm at CAMP! When God opened this door, I was a bit hesitant. I have always wanted to do camp ministry, but never imagined at my age being a counselor. God has a sense of humor--I am certainly the oldest counselor (by far I might add!) here, but I am sooo excited for campers to arrive tomorrow and start 6 weeks of counseling with 15-17 year old girls. I've wanted to do this since Africa--find gals to pour into and invest in, and God can certainly use this as a means. It's been a crazy busy week of training--so much to learn--so much to remember--so much to prepare for--but I am EXCITED!!
Along with counseling, I am on the worship team, (love singing with a band!) leading a skill hour 4 days a week, (teaching how to make lunchbag scrapbooks) and doing photography. (along with whatever else might come up!)
Please pray:
-For the campers coming--as God is already preparing their hearts.
-For my small group of girls--this changes every couple weeks. Pray that I will be an encouragement to them.
-For the staff--some of us have never done this before, and we are overwhelmed and a bit anxious.
-For health and safety of everyone here
-For my back--it's been pretty rough, and I'm in pain pretty much everyday from it. Pray that God will heal and give relief from the pain.
Our theme for the Summer is "It's Sweet!" We will focus on Psalm 119:103, 104.
I'm gonna try and post updates and pics periodically here, but camp is gonna be hectic, so we'll see how all that goes down. :)
Have a great Summer!
(I LOVE our bright neon shirts!)
