Reflecting back over the past week that has just been is quite a big task...

I think about the campers and how they were touched by God in ways I will never know. and I am still in prayer for those who's hearts are so hardened to God because of their own struggles and situations in life.

I smile at the fact that many of the kids decided by our influence, example and love that God is in love with them and worth knowing.

I also think about the leaders that God had placed at camp to be his hands and feet. how they also grew in their relationship with God and could see the work of the Lord so personally come alive through them and because of them.

I also think about all the funny memories and how camp would not be the same without all those random funny things...having fun is completely apart of me and what I love to do...make jokes, turning boring situations into hilarious ones, and laughing at most things because I can and its what Jesus would do if he was here. I believe life is only dull if you make it dull and laughter brightens up any soul. So I'm still giggling at the great memories camp has bought which I love.

I reflect on the kids that were so broken inside that the only way to feel good about themselves was to break other people. This makes me think of a quote that Mother Teresa once said..

"The biggest disease today is not leprosy OR tuberculosis, bit rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for and deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference towards one's neighbour..."

So when I reflect over the past week, I see that we have made an impact on curring this disease that this world, and children face.

God reminds me of how important and crucial it is to have a body united and joined being every church, being every christian as to fulfill God's plans we need to be working together!

So last week was a success...the only regret would be not being able to spend as much time with the kids as I could off because of the position I was in, however in saying that, it was the position God wanted me in within the body for that specific time, which I am grateful for experiencing.

Thank you God that we are created for something beautiful, and that something is you and your plans for us.

I wouldn't have it any other way.
