I like my ice!

This week was AMAZING!!  It was long, busy, kinda crazy, but simply wonderful!  We had Young Teen 1 and Junior 1 going on at the same time.  I was one of the four girl counselors for Young Teen.  Katie Riley was my wonderful co-counselor!  The girls didn't have trouble remembering our names!  :)  I had 7 girls and they were so full of life!  Each of them had amazing passions and great personalities.  One girl I remembered from last year and I was a little nervous.  She did not have a good week last year, but she did really well and we even talked a little about last year and how much better it was this year.

Here's my first ever video blog from the week!



Some of the amazing things that happened were:

• I had a lot of firsts this week!  First camper with a birthday, first camp out with campers, first time to Treehouse, first camper with a concussion, first time eating as a cabin in the cabin...I'm sure the list could go on!
• The girls liked to tease me about the amount of ice I used in my water bottle daily.  My reply, "I like my ice!"
• I started to learn how to juggle!  Don't ask me to do it though...
• I had one girl pray a prayer of affirmation and four girls rededicate their lives.
• They got into memorizing scripture during the Team Verse Challenge!  It was amazing!
• I had inspiring one-on-ones!  Each one of these girls had incredible stories and were so open and honest with me!
• I've been thinking for a while about becoming a teacher in a children's hospital and I had a great conversation with a camper who spent time in a children's hospital.  He talked about his teacher and that really tugged at my heart.  I'm pretty sure that this is what I want to do, but I'm going to pray on it some more, and I would appreciate prayers too.

Tomorrow is VCBC's open house!  I'm signed up to help in the Craft Room and do pony rides!  Two of my favorite things!!  :)  Crossroads Church comes in on Monday and I have a feeling that it is going to be a really good week!
