PURE JOY!

When I was asked to go to girls' camp, I didn't know why. I am not particularly good at working with youth, whininess gets on my nerves, and I thought it would be a sacrifice on my part. Truly, attending camp was a "tender mercy" for me. In the midst of a difficult summer, it was sweet, mentally relaxing, and a joy to spend a week with these amazing young women and my good friend, Christy. She and I were both amazed at how enjoyable this was. She, because she doesn't camp, and me because I thought it would be hard.

I came away from camp loving these people more than I ever thought possible! Thanks to EVERY SINGLE ONE of you for making camp a memorable week!

And Traci should be in these pictures....We couldn't have done it without her!
