Faces of Camp

Thanks to all who sent these photojournalistic shots ;)

Praying for a God-moving, people-shaking kind of last night!

Scenes from Camp

As I've mentioned before, our church is away at our annual Family Camp this week up in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I miss it so!

Here are some scenes from the week so far that my kiddos and staff have sent me. Oh the power of technology these days :)

Join me in praying God's covering and releasing of His power over this camp this week!

Weekend.

This past weekend was bittersweet for me. Our church left for our annual family camp and for only the third time in my entire life, I was not inside of a vehicle joining them! :( Major sad face. With our due date fast approaching, Blane and I thought it wise to skip out this year.

My heart goes with them though, and I am praying for each one daily...that God would meet them, touch them, change them and just all around blow their minds :D. Because everyone was gone, this past weekend was a quiet one for B and I. It was nice though-gave us time together...as probably one of our last few weekends sans kiddo. We organized and cleaned up the baby room, did massive amounts of laundry, took a nap or two, cleaned out our kitchen pantry, B washed all the floors and cleaned both bathrooms and we finally got our A/C fixed, praise the Lord! I'm now happily sitting in my 69 degree house, typing away!

Last night we had dinner for the first time with two of our neighbors at the house next door. We have been wanting to get to know our neighbors better, and it was the perfect opportunity to do so. Our neighbor Laurie is a great cook and she made the perfect summer meal-cheese and crackers to start followed by perfectly grilled chicken and a salad to die for: arugula, baby tomatoes, edamame, olives, grated parmesan and freshly grilled corn doused in a homemade apple cider vinaigrette that she homemade. We finished off the meal with some juicy watermelon and cream puffs! Haha. Later, B and I were able to hang out with one of his old co-workers at our house and it was nice to catch up with him too. 

Hey, so even though I feel like I'm missing out on being with everyone at camp this week, God has already brought some people into our lives back here at home to spend some time with. He always provides!

Hope you all have a wonderful week. God goes with you!

Here We Go

In a few shorts weeks I will be serving at a High School Camp with this group of people (along with some who are missing from this picture). I am glad that each one is serving this year because each one is specially gifted with youth...and also because each one has a heart to serve God. 

Won't you join me in praying for this special group of people both now and in the weeks to come? Serving is a big responsibility and they/we have loads to prepare for!
