The weather has been WONDERFUL lately… Alright I just had to start out with that! haha…
Well in about 4 day I am heading up north to be a Christian Camp Counselor to youth. I am really looking forward to spending my time with girls and most of all to be able to counsel them toward Jesus while having fun. I am also going with my younger sister Hannah and I am excited to be able to spend time with her as well and become closer over this summer. We have fun plans to spend weekends together beachin it on the Traverse City Bay… as I will have a car there and we are in the process now of planning and packing for a summer of crazy fun times. At least we hope! haha…
Hannah and I have been shopping for stuff and it’s been funny to go in target and get water shoes and flashlights… and “yucky” clothes that we can get dirty in. All the while Hannah keeps telling me stories of crazy things I have to do. Some of it I think she likes to make up. Others I think I have to believe. Paintball… and high ropes…. A lot of this I remember from when I was in senior high camp and loved it then….
Anyway the most exciting part to me is that I will be leading others girls in a great time… yet we will be seeking Christ in the great outdoors. I will be dedicated this summer to see to it that I can push each and every girl I come in contact with, thats in my group a step closer to Jesus and this is exciting to me. I am looking forward to it. And my prayer is that Jesus would take this life He has given me and use to to fulfill the purposes He has designed for my life. In this I will be extremely happy. I know He is gonna do a big work in my heart as well. That’s what i want and need the most. Soooo… these are the good ole days that we’ve been given… no more lookin back let’s LIVE them… for Jesus or it’s all wasted.
The sun is out I must go….
Holly, I am sooo excited for you (& a little jealous). You will be in my prayers along with all the other counselors and staff there this summer. I love that place and the people there too. They had the biggest inpact on my life, challenging me to live for the Lord. I know God will use you big time! He has really given you the gift to work with and be a great example to young girls. Ever since I was a camper there I have wanted to go back and be a counselor. I wanted to work there this summer, but the female staff was already filled. I guess God has other plans. I think I will come up and visit ya’all though, because I miss it a whole lot!
Love in Christ,
Kelsey
And you were a very great counselor Holl! Miss ya’ll very much!
