Training Week... That's a Wrap? Whaaaat?

Wow... training week is almost over!  I can't believe it!!!!!  Time is flying by!  This time tomorrow, we will be anticipating the arrival of campers!  It's crazy!  Months of praying, planning, and preparing is fixing to come alive!!!  It's kind of surreal.  God has done so many things already and the fact that He doesn't even have to use us but is choosing to is continually blowing my mind every single day.  He could do all of this and more himself, but He chooses to use us as instruments and that's flipping awesome!

Since I have blogged last, we have had our day off which was used to sleep in, do laundry, and spend time and fellowship as a family!  We had our mega run through as a staff.  Good times!  In the past week, we have had two birthdays!  Yay!  Meg's and Justin's!  What a blessing to celebrate with new friends!  We also took a little field trip!  We were told that we were going to practice our County Fair Nightlife in costume and we needed to meet all dressed up.  When we arrived, we were informed that we were not going to be practicing nightlife but instead taking a trip to Coldstone... in county fair attire!  It was absolutely hilarious!  You can check out pictures on facebook!  It was a good time!

Today and yesterday consisted of lots and lots of run throughs.  Today is dress rehearsal day! I am currently sitting backstage listening to Brandon yell as Ted the Tech.  It's quite comical.  As I go out and perform, I can't help but think that every chair in the audience symbolizes a student that will come to camp. Many of these students will be seeking something, whether they know the Lord or not.  Some will have lots of issues that they need guidance on.  Hopefully for them, camp will be a defining moment in their life where they surrender their lives to the love of God.  I pray they choose to be obedient in whatever God is calling them to do, even if it means making a sacrifice of some sort.  I hope they grow as men and women of integrity and remain committed to Christ.

The rest of the day consists of dress rehearsals, staff dinner, and prayer walk through campus then that's it folks, campers get here tomorrow!  I cannot believe it!  Praying for HUGE things!!!!!  I'm so blessed to be a part of this!  Hope you guys are well!!!!!
