Sincere Love

Ok I just want to update everyone on whats going on so far in my summer. I have completed weeks at Camp Cho-Yeh. The first week I was certified for ropes course and the second week was staff training. The third week I got my first group of kids and it was amazing! I worked with 13 year olds and they changed my way about thinking about kids. I loved them so much and they just left on saturday. I got a little bit of time off and then sunday morning I got another group of girls. This week they gave me the oldest girls!!! i was soo intimidated but just talking to them yesterday they have so much to say and want someone to hear them. God has blessed me with the courage to work with them this week. God has been showing me that when you live with people you cannot just act like you love them on the surface. Real love is imperitive for the girls and for the relationship with him.

The only thing I am troubled with is the fact that there is almost no time for myself. I am always so worried about helping them out the whole week and making sure that they are growing that I forget to grow myself. If you could just pray for my heart it would help a lot. I even pray for them all the time. This morning was the first time I remembered to pray for myself. I love you guys and I have to hurry away. I cant wait to see you all again...hope you are having a great summer :)

God has taught me so much these two weeks it is so amazing. This summer is definitley going to be a challange but I have a feeling that it is going to change me for ever. I will be needing some prayer because I will be working the full summer and I know I will end up feeling left out of the outside world. sorry this is so short but I am truly exhausted. I love all of you and hope your summers are going great!
