I can't believe it has been so long since I've blogged. I was at the Gwinwood Christian Camp last week in Lacey, WA directing Junior Camp. The camp is for children going into 4th, 5th & 6th grade--as you can guess if you live in a different part of the country, school doesn't begin here until after Labor Day.
About 3 weeks before the camp, I received an email stating that the camp was going to be cancelled because the director had backed out. I don't really know what all happened there, but I just couldn't swallow having a summer camp cancelled. So I sent an email to our Regional minister and then I became the director of the camp =).
So I have been working overtime for the last 3 weeks trying to get it all together. I'm happy to report that everything went well. We had children with some issues, but overall it was a very meaningful camp.
The children didn't really know or process the situation with the camp director, all they knew was that they were having a great time. And as I watched them swim, worship, play, enjoy camp fires, etc, I thought to myself, "this is because you said 'yes' to God's calling to do something." God does wonderful things when we say 'yes.'
Journey On...
