Last Saturday my husband left for Young Life camp at Saranac in New York. They left at 9pm, and didn't get there till 3pm. He said he got pretty good sleep on the bus considering. Bless him :) Only one or two of the high-schoolers that were going had ever been to YL camp before, and they brought more campers than they have in the last 10 years = a sure recipe for an amazing week :) From the couple contacts I've had with him, it seems like everything's going great. They've been tubing, and para-sailing, and all sorts of crazy business. I pray every one of those kids comes back changed, with a seed of hope and Gospel love planted in their hearts. I'm so thankful for my man.
Tomorrow I leave for Haiti with a group from our church. I'll probably be helping out with a medical clinic, and maybe some VBS. I'm so stoked!!! I had been increasingly nervous this week, but after talking to two of my friends who've been before, I'm less nervous and more excited to go. It is a little daunting to think of getting ready for such a trip without my best friend here to help me and go with me, but here it goes, and he'll be home to pick me up when I get back. My friend J reassures me I'm going to fall in love with the Haitian people. Can't wait to!! If you think to, please pray for endurance, humility and safety for our team. Please pray that I would have such an attitude, that my heart would be able to soak up everything my Lord wants to show me. Thanks so much to everyone who made this trip possible for me... shout out to the peeps at our home church!!
I've been singing a song by Sara Groves this morning in my head. It's called "Like a Lake"
