I can't think straight. I have to control myself to steady the whirlwind of nagging thoughts streaming through my head. I wish I could let them go, but it takes all the concentration in the world to replace them with anything else. These moments of hardships though, while incredibly distressing, have a sweetness to them that's hard to explain. It's in moments like these that I cling most tightly to Jesus and so clearly feel Him holding me with a grip I'm convinced will never loosen.
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 28-32
Thank you Lord, for how You carry your children. Thanks for how you love so deeply and assure us of your faithfulness in moments when we need nothing more. Help me to dwell on You and not on the earthly fears of what could transpire. I need You... I always need You.
Love, Your daughter

Wow...
I can't believe how time flies. Or at how terrible I am at anything online. Not having internet at home can be frustrating, yet a valuable thing because it hinders me from sitting hours on end in from of a computer screen! Problem is, I rarely update anything.
Needless to say, it's been some time since I've updated this blog. And quite frankly, I just plain haven't had time! December has been so busy here at camp. And now, implementing the new registration software for the summer has me in the office more than normal for this time of year. LOVE it though- it's super neat seeing how lives are changed and impacted through what God is doing here.
It's 5:13pm and I'm in my cube at camp, waiting for Jason to finish up for the day. Then we'll head home, get supper together, and head out to Spirit, WI to spend the evening with his uncle and cousins and his uncle's parents.
Can you believe the weather?! It's been outrageous! Complete flip from last year! I love the temps, but do wish we had more snow. Having snow out at Camp in the winter plays a MAJOR part in our ministry here. We do have snow, but it's scarce. We are so thankful for the snow-making machines that were donated to camp a few years ago! What would we have done this year without them!?
Well, I'll update more later. When Jason's hungry, he's... well, hungry! Gotta head home. Blessings and here's a favorite passage...
"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
James 3: 13-18
