Please Pray!
Hey my beautiful people!!!
Ok so I am going to camp in like 1...2...3..4...5...6...7...8..9..10 days!! Wow I am starting to get freaked out!
I have never really been freaked out to go to camp it is always super-de-duper exciting!! But this year I am not that excited.. at least not yet. When I went in for my interview Howard raised a great point that I have never concidered befor.. He said that camp is a time to fight.. at time to be in the warfare not a time to go at get things back on track and have a amazing growth spirt. I know that growing does happen in the battles but I have always gone to camp thinking it was a time to refule and go back out into the world. As some of you know this year has been supper tough in the scence of haveing GOd time.. I have almost givin up on reading my bible simply because it fristerated me not understanding it and didn't want old feelings of feeling stupid to come back. I haven't really been that passionate about things i used to be passionate about, like my music for example I jsut don;t have the modivation or passion for it any more. This in it self is spritual warfar, I know that when I go to camp I will be in constent prayer and be spending alot of time with God but I don;t want to spend my whole summer in daily devotion to God and then when I get home drop it again... I am going to be a senior coincelor... Very exciting but also I am going to be "mama Sheri" to my girls.. I am going to have CIT's and LIT's and there are going to be quetions that I don't know the answer to... I am really scared guys was God really calling me to camp? I know that He is going to use me no matter what (thanx Jon for drilling that in my head!)
Oh wow that was alot of venting! I miss you all sooo much and really could use a good hug and sholder squeez! God Bless, my wonderful family!!
DWEEB!!
PS WEAVE~DAW IS GETTTING MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget in the dark, what God revealed to you in the light.
Sheri, first off, DO NOT WORRY! One reason is that I've seen you counsel before and I have seen the way that you love your kids and are enthusiastic about them, so I know that even in your own strengh you could probably manage to squeek by ok. But the more important reason is because God is there, and he loves those kids even more than you ever will and he will give you the faith and energy and love to get through the summer and make an AMAZING impact in their lives. So don't try to do it alone. Thing is, though, Howie's right, camp is warfare, it's all about warfare, and I for one am going to be there praying for camp and praying for you. And camp is not always a good time to refuel, so don't be selfish, don't go there trying to get back on track with God, becasue that's not the point. The point is to teach kids who need to know it that God loves them. And it's true, as you go through that process you will grow with God. And you will be under attack too. But now's not the time to get worried that camp's not where you're supposed to be, if you've been accepted then you have to decide to believe that God has led you back here, not for your sake, but for his, and for the sake of the many many many girls that you will be able to reach out to. God will do amazing things (he always does) and I'm stoked that you'll be back here because I will be able to be there for you all summer through. Love ya hun, and don't worry, just pray and know that God's got it all in control!
aww Charis you are so right!! You know when you have those moments of relization?? I just had one... I am going for God and for teh girls that He is going to bless me with to do His work not to work on my social life!! Man alive I am slow:P Ugh I feel so much better!! Camps in almost a week!! WOOT!!!!
