Well, the last of the campers for this year left yesterday afternoon. It was a great year for counselors, campers, and even the weather. As soon as Bill verifies the numbers I will share them with you. In the meantime the following is another example of why we are here:
Each camp has a bonfire on the last night of the camp (what would camp be without that?!) and a testimony from one such bonfire caught my attention. A girl attended one camp this summer and while she was here asked Jesus to be her personal Savior. Too soon after camp her faith was tested...too soon in my eyes but not for our wonderful, glorious Lord. He tested her with the death of a close family friend. This same girl came back to camp later in the summer and testified. She stood at the bonfire and told about her new faith, about the trial that came shortly afterward; but she shared that she made it through such a difficult event solely because Jesus was with her...He carried her through.
I am about to cry as I write this. God is so good to us...He saves us just in the knick of time so we can endure...so we can be refined...so we can shine like gold, filled with His Spirit. Glory be to God!
