are you thirsty???????

that was the theme to our children's camp this year. we took nine kids to camp. we had a great time.

Are you thirsty? that was the question that was posed to us? Are we thirsty?? We were told that we fill our lives with all kinds of things, instead of what we really need. A hunger and a thirst for Jesus. it was awesome to watch hundreds of kids for three nights spend hours at the alter praying and seeking God. there is nothing quit like it. there is an honesty and pure of heart that is present when children are seeking His face. church started at 7:30 and most nights we would not leave church until 10:00. one night we did not leave church until 10:15. they were so focused on seeking God. children were praying for adults and other kids. they were laying on hands on each other.

when kids come to worship God they come with total abandonment. they don't care if anyone is looking at them, or if they sing off key, or if they are praying too loud, they just come, knowing that God will meet them there and will meet any need they have.

last year was my first year to go to camp and what a blessing it was. so i volunteered to go again this year. i knew this year, because of what happened last year, that i would be so blessed. and i was. it was so awesome to feel Jesus wash over me and draw me closer to Him. i once again totally surrendered my life to Him. and asked Him to rekindle His fire with in me. i asked Him to put such a thirst in me for His Word and the things of God. i left camp feeling refreshed and renewed. more importantly i know our kids walked away from camp with the light of Jesus burning stronger in them.

thanks e, for helping drive to camp, even through the rain. it wouldn't have been the same with out you. with a little fear, and a lot of faith, and a precious friend to help me, i was able to do
something i thought i could never do. you know what i mean e.

thank you Jesus, for another awesome adventure............. You are the one who makes all things possible. what a privilege it is to serve you in this capacity.
