Holy smokes, y'all! I am leaving for Windy Gap in 6 days with three high school girls from Powell! I have so many emotions going on. I'm stoked, I'm pumped, I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm anxious, I'm scared, I'm overwhelmed. But mostly just super pumped and excited. It really is going to be the best week of these girls lives. And the second best week of my life. Since the first best week was the week I went to week long YL camp at Frontier Ranch. duh. Tonight we had a leader meeting to get us ready for camp and Mary Kendall started us off by reading from Mark 8.
22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
This week I, along with many other leaders from Hardin Valley, South Doyle, Karns, and Stem, will be leading blind kids to the village. We are taking these kids to place they've never been before and are going to be doing things with them they never thought they'd get the chance to do. I cannot wait to experience a week of camp with Hannah, Brittney, and Makayla. So I just ask that you pray for us. Pray for me and that my sleep gets doubled at night, that I can lead these girls that way Jesus wants me to. Pray for Hannah, Brittney, and Makayla and that Jesus stirs in their hearts and makes them feel things they've never felt before. Pray they leave camp wanting a relationship with Jesus. Pray we leave camp and can pick up where we left off with a campaigners and we can spend even more time together and with the Lord. Pray they feel comfortable around each other and me enough to share what they feel. Pray that each leave with their own unique story to tell at the end of camp. Please, keep me and these girls in your prayers throughout the week. I will gladly receive them :)
