HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!

in honor of my father, today, I write. and to my father, I love you!

It has been a while since that stirring first, original post, I know. Sorry to keep you waiting. Since that time I ventured back home, spent a weekend with the family and ventured back to camp.

The weekend at home was amazing. Ian and Natasha were back and I LOVED spending time with them. We tubed, skiied, rode in the boat, and just had fun. We had a lot of Mom's family come up on Saturday for her birthday. My plan to cook for mom didn't turn out as expected (sorry Mom), but what can you do? Unfortunately, I had to return to camp. It was a long drive but an amazing week awaited me.

I was partnered up with a counselor for the week that had a fun group of girls. I was able to hang out with them doing various and sundry things. The counselor was gone late a couple nights so I was actually able to "substitute" and get the girls to bed. That was a lot of fun. No major spiritual decisions were made, but it was evident that the Lord was working in their hearts. Two of the girls used to be best friends, had a falling out, and refused to speak to each other and somehow they "randomly" ended up in the same cabin. God was clearly forcing them to confront their issues. It is so cool how God loves each of us that much to work in our lives that way. I got to chat with a few of them one on one and show them what the Bible had to say about what was going on in their lives. This week I was even able to meet a girl who had just gotten saved - Praise the Lord!

I can't wait for this next week. I am actually a prayer partner to one of my friends, Erika. Hope that goes well.

This weekend, I was able to catch up with some girls and relax - tubed, took some walks, took some naps....and now we are off to another week.

still glad to be here!
