Summer ♥

Hey everyone! (:

So, yeah...it's been a long time!

Sometimes the hardest thing about blogging is that once you stop for awhile, you don't even know how to even begin trying to catch up on everything that has been going on! hahaha :)

this is a picture my mom took of me &
 my wonderful cabin this week! ♥
(it was right after we got back from frog hunting!!
whoop! lol  sorry it's blurry!

But, seriously....This summer truly has been amazing! Honestly, no words can describe it! ....And I miss all of my campers a TON. It just makes me so excited when I think about everything Christ has done in the lives of not only the campers, but also the staff.

We are all still the same people, just different...in a good way.☺

Thank you, Lord for all you have done! I have grown so much in just 10 weeks.

Thank you for each one of those campers who you've sent to summer camp this year. Thank you for everything they have taught me, too! ☺

Thank you for all of the staff this year! They truly are wonderful friends and I am so blessed to have them in my life. They have all been  a huge encouragement to me & I love them a ton!

Anyway, one of the things I've been learning this summer is that sometimes God uses people in (what we would consider) small or unimportant ways to show his love & make his name known. Here is what I said when I was talking to one of my friends about this....

 "when i decided to be summer staff this year, i was expecting so many things to happen bc of me. I was going to share the gospel with so many kids. I was going to change lives. I was going to do this for God. or whatever. but I've been learning that sometimes God uses people to make his name great in "smaller ways" He uses people to wash dishes, teach climbing wall, make dinner, set up chairs, etc.. so that others can share the gospel with them. So, yes. I have been able to show christ's love to so many kids, just not in the way i was expecting it's really humbling."

I gotta go- mum is calling :)
