a little more grace

It's over 90 degrees outside according to the thermometer on my back porch. In other words, it's hot! Way too hot for me. And, wouldn't you know it, our air conditioning is broken. We have every fan in the house running full blast, but it's still incredibly warm in here. I definitely need grace to get through today without dying of heat exhaustion or snapping someone's head off because of crankiness.

Every day I'm reminded that all I need is a little more grace - just enough to get me through today. So that's my prayer. God, give me just a little more grace.

Camp again this coming week. I'm looking forward to it! So many old and new friends to hang out with, so many people to encourage and to serve. It'll be fun to see all the girls who CITed at early week and to do Ashley's beautiful hair for her! :) There are so many wonderful things God is going to accomplish this week, and I can't wait to see what he does.

early week

Early Week this year was probably one of the best weeks of camp I've been to. I feel like I learned a lot in small portions, and it's changed my outlook on life so now I understand God's ways just a little better. There were so many fun and challenging things that went on last week, and I enjoyed every last moment of it. I met a few new friends and saw a lot of old ones. It was really weird to see some girls whom I knew as campers and then CITs being counselors for the first time. There were some people who have been at camp for a long time who aren't going to be there this summer, which makes me sad. :( But there are some new friends I've made whom I know I'm going to see more this summer. One of the girls in the Courage rededicated her life to the Lord this week, which made me so happy and so proud of her.

I made a movie of a bunch of different things we did that week, so I thought I'd post it here! The song in the background is one they used for Creative Movement that week. It's called "Here's My Heart" by Lanae' Hale.
