This summer has been unbelievably encouraging for me. Amiss the jam-packed 13+ hour days, I feel like I have found this beautiful, serene place that has really just allowed me to center and prioritize. The fact that I've spent the past 7 weeks surrounded by people who have the same passions and interests that I do has really allowed me to stop and reflect on my life right now. I am so incredibly blessed in so many ways. In this moment, it is so easy for me to hand all of my plans and dreams to Jesus, and just trust that he will take care of me. I know when camp is over and I fly back home in several weeks, it is not going to be this easy. In fact, I'm sorta expecting some kind of spiritual ambush. But this summer I am really being taught that Jesus is the only thing that can satisfy me, and His is the only approval I need. I am praying that these truths will be as real to me after camp as they are now.

Gearing up for a brand new week in Alabama! May we proclaim truth boldly and fearlessly, dying to our own desires and allowing Christ to have full control. May each of these children come eye to eye with Jesus this week in a way that will forever impact their lives.
