In the morning, I set off for week 2 of camp. This is special because a) I’m a counselor for the kids at my old church back home, b) It’s one of my two favorite camps, and c) immediately following this week, I start week 3. (:
I’m really looking forward this to this week of camp because of one special little girl. Her name is Torii, and she’s pretty amazing. (: I’m just really excited to get to know her better and to be able to learn about who she is, and who she aspires to be. She’s young, yes, but she is spiritually mature and I like that about her a lot. I look forward, sooo much, to spending the week getting to know her and just being her friend. I think I would really like it if I could be that older friend of hers that she looks up to and asks for advice and all that jazz. That would make my heart happy. And even if I wasn’t that older, cooler, wiser woman that a lot of young girls look for (I’m still in the process of looking for that sort of woman), I’m excited to just get the chance to love on her and be a good example to her. That’s all.
Also, this is sort of like an adventure. Two weeks of camp, in a row. I’m nervous that my boss won’t like that I’m taking the first week without asking him, but I checked it with the 2nd in command and he gave me two thumbs up. Hopefully it won’t be a huge deal. Heh. Anyways, it’s my own mini-adventure for the summer. I’ll get a small, small taste of what being on the New Life team is like. I’m excited. (:
Anyways… I need rest.
If any of you are willing to pray for these next two weeks, here are some things you can pray for:
1. That the campers are eager to learn about Jesus!
2. That the counselors are eager to teach the Gospel and are 100%, whole-heartedly in this for these campers.
3. That God would move, BIG TIME. That there would be baptisms and lives changed and wounds healed and hearts sewn back together with Love.
4. That God would move in the little ways, too.
Also, if any of you wouldn’t mind interceding for me…
I would really appreciate it if you could pray for my heart. That it be open, and loving, and compassionate. That my words are meaningful and soft, and that they benefit all those who hear. That my motives be pure, and that I extend the grace that God has given me to the people that God will put in my life. Also, please pray that God would continue working in me as He has been these past few months. It’s really exciting and encouraging when God continues speaking tenderly to me about His plans for me. (:
Is there anything I can pray for you about?
I like hearing what you have to say. (:
