CAMP ADVENTURE 2010!!

Every summer for the past four years I have gone to Camp Adventure as a camper...




Those four weeks of my life have changed me and furthered my walk with Christ so unbelievably much! Each year I had a new amazing counselor that I thought the world of. I always dreamed of being a counselor myself someday and this summer I got to do just that! It was definitely one of the most amazing weeks of my life. On Sunday night before all the campers came Mark Beeson told all us counselors to embrace the gift of our personal limitations. He said that these very limitations will drive us to call out to God during the week. I didn't realize at the time how very true those words are. The week of camp was very challenging for me. I was pushed beyond my own strength over and over again and just like Mark had said, those were the times I had to lean on God the most. I realized just how very weak I am and how powerful Christ is.
Throughout the week I was blessed to have five very lovely girls call me their counselor. By the end of the week 1 had recommitted her heart to the Lord and 4 had given their lives to Christ for the first time! I am so so proud of these girls and fully realize how blessed I was to spend my week with them. God without a doubt grew me and stretched me during that week of camp...more than I ever thought He would. I think it's safe to say that it was pretty much the best week...EVER!! (:

"...For when I am weak, then I am strong." - 2 Corinthians 12:10

Craziness!

I don't know about any of you but I cannot believe how absolutely fast this summer flew by! It literally seems like last week that I finished that last biology exam of my freshman year, and now the summer is already almost gone! Ah!! A couple words to describe my summer are hectic, wonderful, very stretching, and crazy-amazing! The first week of my summer I helped two of my good friends teach a dance class for young girls, two weeks later I was heading off to Camp Adventure to be a counselor for the first time! The day after camp my family headed up to Michigan to visit with family, two days later I left for my first ever mission trip to Chi-town with GSM! The day after Chicago I went out west to Colorado with my friend Allison and her amazing family for about two weeks. After getting home from that I had about two weeks to breathe and then packed up again to go on my next mission trip of the summer to Nashville, Tennessee, and now today I'm packing....yet again for our family vacation to Virginia to finish off the summer...yeah, it's been a pretty busy summer!! (: But I have loved every minute of it! More to come on all my adventures of the summer later but for now, I better finish packing!!
