Sparkling Streams and Soft Winds

If you haven't noticed I've been away from the internet for the past couple months. This summer I got the chance to work as a camp counselor at a church youth camp called Camp Blue Haven in the mountain ranges of New Mexico. Since so much happened while I was out there I'll update you with a quick Top 10 list... I might have to make it Top 20.

20 Best Moments of Camp Blue Haven, Summer 2008:
1. Counselor Training Week First Aid video
2. 2nd Session Blue Haven Players
3. SHC 2nd and 4th Session
4. 5th and 6th grade All-Day Hikes (Old Camp Blue, Echo/Lookout Point, Grindstone Springs)
5. Camp session banquet meal: poppy seed chicken!
6. 6th session Early Christian Worship prep
7. The entire cabin of 2nd session
8. Climbing the dining hall roof 4th session

19. The Fab 5 -- The Camp's, McCoy's, Dobb's, Wiggain's, and Brunson's
20. Date nights 6th session


Alright, so I think I could go on for another 10 more, but I'll spare you. But simply put, God just made the entire summer about Him. For 10 weeks I spent every day with God -- walking with Him, talking with Him, crying with Him, and seeing His power in all the nature, worships, lessons, people, and staff I came across this summer. Thanks to all who were praying for me while I was out. I wish that I could sit with each and every one of you and tell you in detail exactly what I'm feeling about the summer. But for now, I ask that you pray that I can focus on this next semester and that God will guide me in the next 3/4 months.
