Jr. High Camp Update

Thank you so much for all of you who read my post about Jr. High camp and prayed for me. God's grace really carried me through the week. By the end of it, my girls who pretended they hated camp and me for most of the week were hugging me and telling me they were going to miss me and miss camp. I got to see God move powerfully to unite our cabin during the week and see the girls in my cabin respond to the love of God.

At one point in the week, girls from another cabin said some harsh words to one of the girls in my cabin, Cat. As she was crying, two of the girls that had been fighting with Cat all week came and put there arms around her and comforted her. During our devotions time that night after Fire Circle, Cat started crying and apologized to the other girls for fighting. She said "Where I'm from, people don't ever let go of grudges. Today, when Taylor and Destiny put their arms around me I knew that forgiveness was real and God's love was real. I know now that I can forgive people, and I don't have to hold grudges."

Praise God for His work!
