Well readers, Camp was awesome, so thanks big time for praying for “the youth” and their week. It was an amazing week of laughter, renewal, sore muscles, new experiences and incredible kids. I got a chance to watch broken kids stand up and dust themselves off, finally ready to take a step in faith, and kids that had forgotten old committments turn back toward the God they once found. Besides watching my girls (and our guys) learn and grow, I also learned a lot of lessons myself. As I sat during the twenty minutes and stared at the hundreds of kids sitting around in silence, I cried for the first time in a long time. I knew in my heart that God was working in big ways right then and also that there were still so many kids who haven’t had a chance to hear what those campers heard. It literally broke my heart to an extent that all I could do was cry. I learned that my passion for these girls is no accident and taking a position on younglife staff is exactly the right choice at this time in my life. God showed me a glimpse of how His heart breaks for those kids and showed me how He is gonna use that passion in me. I was reminded that although God gives us things to accomplish that we don’t have the capacity for, He does gives us things to acocmplish that He knows we can accomplish together if we can trust and let Him fill in our weak spots. I realize that although I am still terrfied for staff and for my all the things I lack going into it, I am excited that God has brought me to this place, I am pumped that I can trust enough to take this chance, and I am excited for God to move in big ways in PC YL. So yeah. I guess I am just really pumped for my girls and all they learned, for finally being sure of my staff decision, and for how siiiiiiiiiiiiick this next year of serving at PCHigh is gonna be!
thats all for now. check facebook for more camp pics (and note how sweet my volleyball uniforms were!) \
loving utah,
