Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. Titus 2:7-8

Eight more days to go :)

Tonight I am writing from a cabin bed at Lakeside Christian Camp...I was blessed with an opportunity to come and help out here lifeguarding for a week before I head out to Tarma. I am hoping to really take a breath here if I am able before departure. We read the verses above tonight during the staff's training session.The new camp director used them to share his seriousness of heart when it comes to the integrity of camp this summer and its faithfulness to God's mission here. I wasdeeply encouraged to hear both his seriousness as well as that of the staff members who surrounded me. I may not be working here at camp this summer, but I have confidence in hoping that the Lord will seriously bless Lakeside in enormous, to-the-brim-and-overflowing kinds of ways this summer. I can't wait to hear what those ways are! I knew back in April that the Lord wanted me to lay down this job (as a camp counselor) in faith, so that He could pick up and carry me to where He wanted to use me, but it isn't until His plan begins to unfold in front of my eyes that I begin to see how utterly perfect it is.
So tonight is my moment of sitting in awe :) God, you are incredible.
