Off to church camp

Madison, Jenna, Quinn and Nate were dropped off to church camp this afternoon. Madison has been looking soooo forward to this week. She was very hesitant last year but after getting one full week under her belt last summer, she couldn't wait to go back this year. The girls will be there until next Saturday.

This is Quinn and Nate's first year to go. Their age group goes from Monday-Wednesday evening. I think this is just right for Quinn. He was worried about camp last night, wanting to change his mind etc... but today he did real well. I could tell he had a lump in his throat when it was time for me to go but he perked up quickly and he and Nate went to find the game room. Madison was so hesitant to go last year that I decided not even to take her up!! I had Tonya and Lisa take her. It was better that way...for her!

I'm anxious to hear how it goes. I so hope it will be a good experience for them... so they'll all want to go back again. They are all anxious to receive mail so if you would like their address, send me an email and I'll get it to you!

1 Corinthians 12:4-7 is the theme for the week. At church we have been talking about our own spiritual gifts for some time now. The camp theme fits perfectly.

I've read this passage in several different Bible translations. I like the way the New Living Translation states it. Click here to read this short passage.

Please pray for all of the campers... and all of the little details that mothers worry about... but also that they will embrace the truth that God has already given them spiritual gifts and that it is important to use them... even as children!
