Epic...Cont...

This picture is of me and one of my girls that I have had for the past 3 years. She is now a counselor herself....man, I feel old! I absolutely am in love with her! She's a godly woman and LOVES her own girls. Today is Thursday and we are getting ready to wind down after a busy week. A lot has been going on with the campers and counselor's and many of us are emotionally drained and physically drained.  

Last night, Dwight, the speaker gave an invitation (I have to admit, I haven't been in a church in such a long time where they gave an invitation so it felt kind of weird), but he gave a Gospel message invitation and A LOT of the kids went forward. We talked about it this morning in our counselor meeting and some of the decisions seem to be real and from the heart, but others seem to be because their friends were getting up and going. Only the Lord knows their hearts though. 

I think it was really good for me to come here this week. I, myself, have been needing some spiritual refreshment. I love my city and love my friends and am actually a missing it right now, but it's so good to get away for a little and put my focus back on the Lord. I can't tell you how encouraging it has been to worship the Lord. I have also noticed my sinful selfishness though in catching myself of not wanting to pour into my campers but instead hanging out with my friends. 

Pray for me tonight as I do cabin devo's. Pray that the Lord would grant me wisdom and discernment on how to lead the discussion and pray that the girls would be open and willing to talk and share.
