Camp Life
I have been busy. It is hard to believe that it is almost July already. The summer is passing quickly and I feel like I am not getting to much of my to do list. I spent two weeks in June volunteering at a Teen Bible Camp. It was extremely rewarding, but ridiculously exhausting. I am still trying to catch up from the craziness! It was so apparent that the Lord had a place specifically laid out for me in advance and it was such an honor to be able to serve Him there. I am ever thankful for His leading and faithfulness in all situations. He never leaves us hanging. It was a time in the Word. The messages were amazing. If only to learn what was being taught, then it was worth every minute. I realized in working at the camp that I am much removed from the pressures of teenage life. In all reality, I might just be a little too naive! They face more challenges and temptations than we would like to admit. It deeply saddens me to see how much a typical teen has to face each day. Yet, they are resilient. Unfortunately, I don't forsee things getting a whole lot better in the future. I would be lying if I said it doesn't make me anxious for my own children. It is going to be a challenge to raise them in this world, but thankfully my Lord is faithful and ever present. Whom or what shall I then fear?
