Last 6 days = very long but VERY good!

The last six days have been a whirl wind!  We had the biggest camp that Centri-Kid has had with around 800 kids and adults.  To say the least it was CRAZY!  Over half our team has never worked camp before so that always makes things adventurous.  This week was amazing though.  I have absolutely fallen in love with Centri-Kid and just working camp in general.  I eat maybe once a day and I sleep around 5 hours a night but it totally doesn't matter.  We do all those things for the kids and when they walk down the aisle on invitation night it made it all worth it.  Around 30 kids made first time decisions for Christ last week and one of them was in my Bible study.  The kid in my Bible study was one of those too cool for school kind of kids and was bored with everything.  He walked up to me on Friday morning and handed me a decision card that said he accepted Christ.  It was one of the best feelings in my entire life.  I love seeing God work in kid's lives and I love being able to be apart of it.  

I got to teach Make It Take It for my track time last week and we got to make Tie Dye shirts which I love.  I had some of the greatest kids in my track time.  They were just so enthusiastic about being at camp and they really made me smile.  They listened and were so good at following directions which were definitely needed because we made some crazy projects during those three days.  I loved them!   

And now for the craziness that was our lives yesterday.  We were leaving Cleveland, TN yesterday afternoon and our caravan of cars was heading to Toccoa Falls, Georgia.  Our team has a Ryder truck, that we call a Budget, that holds all of our camp supplies and our luggage.  Our Budget turned the corner and the front of it clipped a bridge and it ripped off the top of our truck and the sides.  All of our supplies went flying into the street.  So we spent about 6 hours getting all of our stuff out of the street, unloading all the stuff still in the truck and reloading it into another Budget.  It was the most tiring work of my entire life but God used it for his glory.  Our team really stepped up and no one complained; we just got the job done.  It was one of the greatest things that I ever witnessed.  I feel so honored to be apart of CK-4.  Thank you to everyone that prayed for us yesterday.  We got to sleep in today because everyone was so exhausted and we knocked it out of the park today.  Tomorrow is church and finishing registration and getting ready for campers to come on Monday!  Next week we only have 315 people coming to camp...a lot less than 800!  

Here are some pictures from our accident...
