Summer Camp

Lately I have been thinking about how summer camp is going to start up and all the girls that I had last year coming back and having an amazing summer again. My heart is longing to be there and touch the lives of many girls. After a life changing summer last year this summer feels strange. I feel like I'm not doing all that much and that my life is just moving along and I'm doing the same thing over and over. Lately I have been playing the sims and as I go through my daily routine I find myself thinking that I am a sim. I feel very blessed to have the summer I did last year, even with all it's hardships and heartbreak. God used me in a way that was self discovery and help the youth I was working with. My prayer for this summer is that yes, I am here is Medora, ND for a reason but I believe that this summer I am supposed to be a person who supports summer camp through prayer. I pray that every kid's heart will be touched in a way that 20 years from now they will remember the moment they felt God's love for the first time, If that is where and when God has planned for them. I prayer that summer camp can be a place where youth will remember to leave there old lives behind and start living a life that has hope, grace, and love. That they can come for a week and know that they are loved and take that back and affect there broken homes and schools and friends. That summer camp and be a place where they give up drugs, drinking, sex, swearing and make a long life friend. I pray that the youth will come to know the truth about Christ and how he has done a beautiful things for there lives. I pray that each and ever leader will be given a heart of kindness and patience. I know that sometimes you just want to get more sleep or not deal with kids but know that you are expending the kingdom of God and being servents to his children. I pray that God's Holy Spirit will flood your heart and that your light will be so bright the kids will ask question and that you will allow the spirit to work through you to answer those questions. I prayer that every leader starts there day in prayer and end it in prayer. That they will really know they are making a difference in youth's lives, even the ones who don't want to do the activites. I prayer that the leaders will be open to change in there own lives as well and keep daily in the Word. I prayer for the cooks and housekeepers that they keep good attitudes and serve with there whole heart. I prayer that the weather will be great and that in every situation will be a positive one. I pray that the parents hearts will be shook up now to send there kids to camp and will be open to hearing about what happen at camp when there youth come home. I pray that everyone will be protected. I pray and thank you God in advance for everything you are going to do this summer, for the lives of many will be changed, and for loving all. I miss camp dearly but I know that here in ND I can still support camp and go even further by supporting all camps sharing the love of Christ. Have a blessed summer!
