I got back yesterday from a week of church camp. Let me tell ya, I did not want to come back into reality. I never do. I would rather just stay there for a long time I think. That camp means so much to me and I just wait in anticipation every year for that one week. This year started out a bit on the rough side with added stress onto crystal and me about next year's camp and some other things, but by day 2 or so, we were able to lighten up and enjoy ourselves. We had such a great group of kids this year and the counselors were amazing! I showed them Labyrinth with David Bowie which they actually got into and didn't hate me for which was nice. I even got my labyrinth finalized.....it was awesome! God totally blessed us by holding off the rain until all of the campers had finished the labyrinth. We kept praying for no rain so we could do it, and God just kept holding it off. I was in tears by the end because of how much He had given us in that moment. I just had to make the kids sit in the rain for a while because I felt that we needed to see and feel God's work in play. Overall that day and night, I was simply blown away! I never have doubt about God's love, but sometimes we all go through those times where we may not "feel" it as much, but that night I felt it all over! Also, that night Travis came to visit me at camp for the first time ever! He helped me so much with putting the labyrinth together. Not only that night, but before camp even. I owe him a lot! I am going to be dean (that's right Jacci, I'm going to be dean) next year and that's a little scary though. Crystal will still help me I know that. But, I also know how much self-clearing I need to do before I lead the camp like that. I want to do the best I can for that place and help it grow. I want to devote a lot of time to it which means something needs to go. That means Travis! I'm going to kick him out....just kidding! :) I think I just need to lighten the load though which we all knew before, right?!
I have put some photos on here for ya. I wish I could put them all on here, but there are like 100 of them! And, you can check the rest out on facebook.
Side note, we have a dunkin donuts now! YAAAAAYYYYY! Jerod and Amy got us a gift card and we've already used most off of it. It's probably good they don't have a drive through or else I would be there everyday! Ok.....I'll be there everyday anyway.
