Bethel...

Wellll, its been a while since my last post, not that anybody is really reading this anyway. I'm now at Bethel Christian Camp for another full summer of kids! I just got done with my second week and I have an amazing tan to prove it. These kids are awesome. Our 1st week was angel tree middler, which means that middle school aged kids that had one or both parents in jail or been in jail in the past year or so. Those kids were pretty rough around the edges, a lot of them wouldn't do what we told them and they had to get swim time taken away or, they lost their canteen (snack) for the day. That stunk, but all in all it was a great week. This week was junior week, ages 8-12. This is age is awesome! They don't have to worry about girls/guys and they just are full of energy and they want to have fun all the time. I had a camper this week named Justin, he was so cool, I kinda wish that my son was like him, if I ever have a son that is.

This years theme verse is Psalm 23, you know, "The Lord is my Sheperd, I shall not be in want", and the kids learn the whole thing before the leave camp. But I have learned sooooo much from this verse also. I learned that if I call Him my Sheperd, I am calling myself a sheep. A stupid, little, dumb, scared, nervous, did I mention stupid, sheep. I am learning that he will guide me, I just need to follow him, he will do what is best for me, I just need to trust him. Please pray for the kids next week, and for ther staff at Bethel.
