The last full day

Here it is - the last full day of youth camp.

I'm absolutely shocked that it's here. It feels like it's just the end of another week of camp, but it's not. Tomorrow is our wrap-up banquet and then the goodbye's begin. 1/4-1/3 of our staff leave on Sunday while the rest of us stay one more week to work for the all week Alliance Family Camp. Those of us who are staying will be leaving on August 16th.

My s this week are great and I'm having a blast with them. I want so much to be able to help them through all the different things in their lives. None of them feel like they have it all together or are blatantly apathetic towards God. All of them are searching for answers which is so cool. Another totally neat thing is that four of my s live within two or three miles from me - two of them are under a mile and within walking distance and I'm excited to maintain those relationships as we go home and they begin highschool.

God continues to be faithful to provide, sustain and speak through me even though I get tired, frustrated or doubtful. I'm only getting about six hours of sleep each night so that's not helping my overall end-of-the-week mood. :)

Prayer requests would include being able to reach out to these s in this last day and a half, for strength as I say goodbye to one of my closest friends up here this weekend, for strength and a good attitude as I once again take up the role of head custodian next week (our head custodian is leaving this weekend) and will (besides the cooks) have the least amount of freetime and will most likely be the tiredest.

Thank you all who have so faithfully supported me in so many ways (including this blog) throughout the summer. I love and appreciate you!

Your sister in Christ,
