One more way

Sometimes I wonder.....
ok, well lots of times I wonder....
And then sometimes I actually wander....
I've enjoyed my summer, it has been very interesting balancing work and family and horses. And as stressful at times as it has been, I count myself very blessed.
Ken and I decided not to take a salary from the mission this summer, as an act of trust and service to the Lord for blessing us with such a wonderful son and ministry. And well the financial crisis the nation is in. We want to make sure that this place continues, not that it is in our hands anyway, but we like to think we have control sometimes.
Anyway, in some ways, this has been my hardest summer and summer camp and in other ways it has been my most rewarding. I have seen horses being used by the Lord to bring the kids to their knees crying for God. Even as I write this, I am crying as I remember those times. It amazes me what the Lord will do and use to allure us to Him. I am awestruck most of the time. And I'm honored he would consider me worthy to help in His love for His children. So as hard as this summer has been, emotionally, physically and monetarily... I lay it at the alter and Thank you Jesus for dying for us ....for these campers and for never giving up on us stiff-necked people!
