Loving Life!

Hello all! It's been a while since I've talked to many of you, but that's because I have officially started my summer of craziness! It's a lot different than Qwanoes, but not a whole lot less busy. For those who don't know, I'm working at UrbanPromise day camps for the next six weeks and I am SO PUMPED! My summer role is much different than what I was doing all year, as I am now assistant director for a camp with 101 kids and 30 teenaged leaders. It's really fun getting to put my leadership skills into practice as well as having lots of time to hang with cute kids. I love the way that UP runs their camps, with lots of activities, but also a great emphasis on relationship time. In addition to assisting Tracy (the director) I get to teach Bible classes to the two youngest groups (aged 5-8ish), which is a challenge, but also unbelievably rewarding. One of the groups has this incredible thirst for God and I can hardly get through my lesson before they are asking me questions about anything and everything to do with God. Amazing, considering there were at least 6-8 kids in the class who had never even heard the name of Jesus on Monday. I'm so thankful for all that God is doing already...and we're only three days in! Praise God for what He's doing here!! You guys can still pray for me as I have some things I'm struggling with personally, but God is really good and He's not letting that affect my ministry. Also, pray that I'll have the wisdom to be able to answer my kids' questions and the humility to admit to them that I don't know everything. I am so excited to see what God has for these kids this summer! Hoorah! I miss you guys all a ton and I'd love to hear what you're all up to and how I can pray for you...in the past couple of weeks I've been frequently reminded of the HUGE impact prayer has...it's easy to forget that sometimes. I hope you're all doing well!
