God truly blessed our efforts to put on a successful camp this summer. We enjoyed having Dean Bertch with us as our camp Pastor and Don Herron as the Jr. High morning Bible teacher and chalk artist. Heather and I had 19 Sr. High girls in our cabin this year. It was much more challenging having so many, but we still had a great time. I especially appreciated spending more time with the girls this year than I have in the past years and getting to know them even better.
After camp, a few of the campers came to stay with my family for a few days. We had so much fun and I wished that we could have all the campers staying with us!
We are already debriefing from the week as a committee and planning for next year! Camp is scheduled for the first week of August 2011!
D.I.G. hasn't been meeting at all since the beginning of summer. I'm not sure if we will start it up again this winter or not, each of the ladies has something new going on that may not permit us to meet anymore. It was a real blessing while we were able to meet. :)
O.F.F.C. finished at the beginning of the summer as well, and I don't expect to start again in the Fall. There are only 2 teens available to attend now and different circumstances have made it so we can't have a youth group at Thornville currently. I hope that someday in the very near future O.F.F.C. will be able to start up again! It was such a huge part of my life that I want the kids at our church to experience it too.
The Pregnancy Resource Center is having its annual Walk-A-Thon this September! I'm hoping to attend this year if I'm not working.
I had the awesome opportunity of going back to Michindoh and job shadowing for a week so I could learn more about camping ministries. It was very eye opening and I appreciate the staff at Michindoh so much for all the work they do for our church before, during, and after our stay. I met so many people dedicated to serving the Lord with their lives and it was very encouraging!
I've changed my blog title to "With This Day" because God is constantly teaching me to take life one day at a time and to trust in Him and rely on Him. I want to use this blog to share everyday things that God does and not just big events that take place. I've learned not to look for God's will in my future as much as focus on His will for my life today. If I'm loving God with my life and following Him, I know He will lead me.
