Lying in Wait

This week at camp has been one fingerprint of God after another.
As much as people always blame God for all the "bad" things that happen to them. I have taken it on as my personal mission in life to NOT thank myself for all the good things that happen to me but to Thank God for them.
For example:
Our staff has been working so hard this summer already and it has been in the mid 90's with heat indexes even higher. So I took them all out on the boat. But as it would turn out the boat decided to not work correctly, so we were able to swim and pull them on the kneeboard but then the fun was over.
Alas, 1/2 hour later a pop up thunderstorm appeared! And not only that but we took our boat into the shop and the fuel pump was busted! So now only did we make it out of the water unharmed but also we didn't have to paddle ourselves back! THANK YOU LORD!

This week we had some very sad stories of children who were at camp. And the Lord showed up in many ways. I was able through the use of horses to pray with many campers this week and to show them that the Lord wasn't done with them but in fact HE was just getting started and HE used these amazing 4-legged animals to light the path. His tool is HIS creation!

One week down and I'm still running! PTL!

Wow! I had a lot to catch up on. You've been busy, girl! congrats on the adoption process. Maybe you can write again and talk more about what that process looks like. I'd love to know.

Glad camp is going well. It's fun to be involved in what God is doing!

Good luck with running. I always have a great start and at some point I realize that the mantra playing over and over in my head that my running feet are keeping time to is, "I hate this...I hate this..." So then I stop. Can't wait to hear about your first marathon!
