I have everything packed (I hope [grin]) and this morning, I’m heading off to NeKaMo Camp, a girls camp about 3 hours from our house. I’ll be a cabin counselor for 8 or 9 girls each week, ages 12-14. I’m excited at this opportunity, but a little nervous, too. But most of all, I want to be sensitive to the Lord’s leading, a willing, available servant and vessel for Him to use.
Countless hours have been spent preparing Bible studies, skits, songs, devotions, posters….but I know that it is all in vain if I fail in this one thing–
if I am not “in tune” with the Lord, then He can’t use me.
So, most of all, that is what I desire. Yes, I want to be a good counselor and that “my” girls would like me, have fun, etc. But first and foremost, I must be seeking to please HIM–to bring HIM glory and to bring HIM praise and to honor HIM. If I’m focusing on HIM, everything else will fall into place. And if it doesn’t, then it doesn’t really matter.
Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again. Ecc. 11:1
If you think of it, pray for me as I work at this camp the next two weeks. Thanks bunches and bunches!
You, my dear, are ALWAYS in my thoughts and prayers, but I will step it up during the next two weeks while you’re at camp. You’re going to be a great counselor, Skye!!!
What an exciting time this will be for you and just remember, it is not about the skits or forgetting something, it is all about the relationship with the girls. Dance, laugh and love!!!!
Oh! I wish it would’ve worked out for me to go to camp and help! I’ll miss it and you!
I hope you have a great time! May the Lord bless you and Micah Noel for your service!
Have fun!
(Hugs!)
Joyfully His,

Wow! Sounds like a wonderful opportunity! I hope everything goes really well for you!
You can be sure I’ll be praying for you, dear sister!! May His strength be sufficient for your every need, His presence envelope you throughout every day, and your joy come from serving Him!!
And have a wonderfully awesome time!! :)
Love ya,
~Elizabeth
