Tuesday, June 2

Hey everybody!
So yesterday morning the devotional for Jr camp (ages 7-11) was the Creation Story. And last night we had cabin group discussions about what we heard in the morning. And our girls were asking so many tough questions. Like: If there was no sin in heaven then how did Satan know to sin? And why did he fall. and Why did Adam and Eve sin if God made those two perfect? Plus many more. These were all questions from Divita (our little Hindu girl). So prayers are definitely needed for Abbie and my ability to provide answers where we can.
This morning I taught Jr camp devotional about Abraham and Sarah...talk about interesting... explaining Hagar and Ishmael to 7 year olds. Oh goodness... But it went really well and I think they enjoyed it.
Yesterday was a full day of games and activities. We played Sabatoge which is a game with candy bombs and blowing up trashcans with those bombs... totally awesome!
We also did New Fangled REvelry where all the counselors did skits that were funny for the kids. Then at the end I did a serious skit with mud and put mud on my arms as I talked about how I was old and dirty and my life was just crummy. and that I tried all the things that the world offers and nothing worked. But then Jesus came and washed my sins clean (washed off the mud) and made me NEW! And then Isabel got up and shared her testimony about how that fit into her life. Really a great night!
I had the weirdest dream...that I drove home from Georgia to CApe (only like 30 minutes) and went to get more clothes and shoes... And saw my mom and aunt susie. and we were all talking and then I realized I had to leave to get back to Georgia in time... maybe it has something to do with the fact that we have been here for a week and a half and have not gotten laundry done yet. haha. woot woot!

Anyway, pray for today that everyone is safe and that hearts are softening to the word of God.
Pray also for motivation from the counselors. that we don't get too worn down this first week.

Praise God for another gorgeous day and for awesome kids here at camp!

I'm feeling really good today. Not tired, a little sniffly but my allergies have been crazy.. you could definitely pray for that too. haha
alright.

Love love love
