...that other people can convince of us our worth easier than our own self?
Today, after our staff meeting Greg was praying and he prayed for each of us (not unusual) but he prayed that I would realize how desperately our church needed me.
Tears still form in my eyes as I hear those words in my head. I am needed? I am needed.
Tomorrow embarks the beginning of a new journey for our church, and our children's ministry. We are hosting the first ever week of Day Camp. I know, I must be crazy! We have 24 kiddos signed up, and I think it will be great fun for all involved.
Most of the kids who are signed up would be at home alone or with older siblings all day. Almost 90% of our campers come from families were both parents work. It is such a need in the summer, especially in our community.
One day, I hope to offer Day Camp for free. Wouldn't that be cool? Can you imagine the impact that could have on a family, a child, a community? One day....
So, you might not hear from me until I regain my strength from this week, but pray that these kids would realize now how much they are worth in God's eyes.
Oh Lord, help me to be worthy of that which You have called me to do....

You are right that the camp will have a big impact on the kids who attend. That kind of community is mostly unavailable to them (or has been) and they'll be so excited to go!
that's grea that you're doing that for kids. i used to spend a lot of summers in camps like that so i wasn't alone.
i hope it's going well.
and it is odd, that we don't understand our own worth.
You made it!! Good work, girl! No injuries, and everyone was accounted for at the end of the week. I'd say that's a really great first camp!
Thanks! You forgot to mention no emergency services were needed.... :)
