Hi Y'all

Hi all!

I just wanted put out a quick post to you all. Thank you so much for your prayers for these camps they were amazing and God did a work. We had about 140 some odd kids for Jr. High camp and we had a limit of 160 kids for high school but I think we went over about 6 kids and God did a great work in ALL of them. Thank you again for your prayers.

Summer school is almost done - Thursday, I CAN NOT WAIT to be DONE!!! And I will start my Paramedic classes, thank the Lord in the end of September. The paramedic course itself is a year long; fall through spring with summer for the internship. Prayers for that would be great.

But also Em and I are going to come for a little bit I believe next week sometime so hopefully I'll get to see you all. Thank you again for all your prayers. When I was working at the camp and I needed wisdom and strength I really felt confident because I knew you all were praying. May the Lord bless you!

I miss y'all!

A Guest Blogger

I have my daughter's permission to be a guest blogger today!
Hmmmmm....what to say?! So many thoughts come to mind. ;~)

Just kidding...She is off to Junior High Camp as medic. (She survived High School Camp, thanks to the Lord, your prayers, and with a little help from coffee and energy drinks! She learned, and gleaned, and grew!)

Now she is off for another week but this time just as the medic. She covets your prayers for wisdom and discernment. This camp brings some campers (kids) with some serious pre-existing conditions. Also, she has to drive back from the coast to attend classes on Tuesday, so prayers for safety on her drive back and forth, would be appreciated too. Em is going with her as a counselor.

So, Father, I pray, in Jesus name, for these two that Your power and anointing would be upon them. I pray that they would be sensitive to Your Holy Spirit and His leading. Please give them wisdom beyond their years of experience. Remind them of Your faithfulness to equip them with everything that they would have need of during this camp. Please give them insight, discernment and word-of-knowledge understanding. May they lead all whom they come in contact with a little closer to the One and Only, Jesus - who brings life and life abundantly. May their words and hands be seasoned with Life and grace and healing.

Father, I pray that You would bind the strongman, that his plans and devices against this camp would come to no avail and totally be null and void. May Your name be glorified in all that is done and said. May You guide and direct the leadership and may they be willing to change directions and to follow Your leading immediately and without hesitation. Please give wisdom in abundance to the counselors and medic. May You be Lord of this camp and the games and the conversations. May the rules be followed and campers realize that all Your percepts and 'rules' are for their protection and for their good. May they come to know You deeper and this camp give them solid footing to grow on. For those that don't know you yet as the Lord and Savior - may each one be wooed by the Holy Spirit and may they yield to Your love and give their life to You. Bring word-of-knowledge preaching and teaching and may the prophetic gift be in abundance. Have Your way in this camp. May they know Your Power and Might and Holiness and great great Love for each one of them! In Jesus name, AMEN!

Thanks for letting me pray and give an update. I can't guarantee an update after they get back because school and 12 hour shifts in the ER will be waiting. (so any prayers for understanding -especially in ALGEBRA - would be so appreciated!)

Love to you all!
