Ready.

Our 2nd camp starts today. We will have close to 400 students here. I'm ready! I've been here for this group the last two years and it's been tough for me! But I know that God is going to do big things here and through our staff and through our students! I'm just praying that God is in this place and on this mountain! We are inviting Him here! Lord, we are here for you!

Prayer requests: energy
Staff 1 and the shocco/Laguna turnover
Weather
I miss some people and I don't want it to be a distraction.

Global 2011

Mountain top beauty. Something that I have been given the joy of experiencing for the past two summers and for the past 6 months. This is my 3rd summer with Global Youth Ministry and it is already blowing my mind. This past week was my staffs first camp. And i had high high hopes for it. I knew some of the groups that were coming so i was very excited. And that first night, I hit a wall. Or maybe it was the whole camp. Satan had a foothold in some of the students and it was so very evident.
I met a few students who burdened my heart and absolutely broke me. I can say that i have never prayed so hard for certain students in my life. Through some of these students, i was revealed that I had a purpose on my staff and that I was on home staff for a very distinct purpose, and through another I was able to see the power of prayer and welcome a new sister to the family of Christ. I was able to spend time with some adults that showed true love and compassion for their students and it was so encouraging to see. I was brought back to the heart of worship and i saw what happened when things were striped away and It was about Jesus. & it is beautiful. stunning. breath-taking.
God has chosen to use me this summer and with that comes a lot of things. Satan has been attacking daily through different things. I have been letting him win. My faith has been so little lately even though God has provided in abundance. God has big things for this summer and for both staffs. Just wait & see:)
