Longing for...

... Camp! I can't wait!! Summer just won't come fast enough.
Yes, I'm happy with the present (and I'm loving the snow!), but the future is so fun to anticipate!
Camp David is where I want to spend a good part of my summer this coming year. I just have to figure out my work schedule and see if I can get time off to be out there.
Please, anyone, if you are interested in working at CDO this summer, don't hesitate to comment and let me know! I'd be glad to send you a volunteer form. :) It's a chance to experience lives changed...
God's work is awesome to see!

Camp David Staff Retreat!

For anyone interested in helping out at Camp David of the Ozarks next summer, I wanted to let you know that there is a retreat planned for the 18th-20th of this month. If you would like to give of your time to help children in need, serving at CDO would be a great place to be... and they're already looking for new recruits for next year! :) So, if you think you're interested and would like to attend the retreat, feel free to leave me a comment, and I'll get back to you with more info.
Also, would anyone like to see more camp pictures?? I have access to tons of great ones (that have not been posted on either of our blogs yet!), and would be more than happy to do a "Camp David Scrapbook, '09" on here for ya'all. :) Just comment and let me know...
In Him,

Favorite Camp Photos

Staff and Counselors

The amazing gang of support staff that worked at Camp David during Jr. Girls' week!

The group of counselors (plus Justin, who just wanted to get in the picture with all the girls) and Jackie, our counselor! :) We could not have made it through the week - and kept our sanity - without her!

The Four Princesses

T.T.,

Courtney,

Lexi,

... and Tory!

I got to spend all week with these lovely girls! We got along quite well in our little covered wagon (after Susie and I assured them that the wagon would not roll away with us in it at night!), and had fun pretending to be sisters. :) God is good, always.

This is our team photo! We were the "Precious Pearls".
More to come...

Home from Camp!

I will post the pictures and particulars of my time at Camp David soon! The Lord's Spirit was hard at work all week among the staff and campers, and it was truly a life-changing experience for me. Thank you so much to everyone for all the prayers and encouragement!! God is good, always.
In Him,

Leaving for Camp

Hello everyone!
I only have a little while before I leave for Camp David of the Ozarks! I will be a counselor all week, along with my dear friend, Susanne. We are both very excited, and are looking forward to being challenged as we serve our Lord! I would greatly appreciate your prayers for us this week.
I will post pictures and write about our adventures when I get home! Thanks so much, and love to you all in the name of Jesus, the Christ!
