Camp

About a month ago I went to camp. Yes, that's right I am 24 and still going to camp! I actually was there as a leader with the students in my students ministry. The first camp I went to was with high school students and it was at Covenant College. This campus is on Look-out Mountain, Georgia and absolutely beautiful. It was an amazing week of worship and being with God, and of course the students! It was hard to be away from Ryan and Reed, but it is always neat to see God show up - and he did! One of my favorite activities I was privleged to do with the students was caving. This was not exactly what I expected. I guess I thought we would be walking through the caves looking at the cool formation - like what I have heard of Marianna Caverns. Oh no! Were we in for a surprise! When we arrived we were taken into a room given helmets with lights, gloves and KNEE PADS! This should have been a warning as to what I was about to do. We were in the caves for about 2 hours, crawling and climbing over deep caverns and in little spaces. There were a few moments I was sure I could do it, but the students were such an encouragement! I have a few fun pictures of camp, and of the caving experience!!

This is not me...but it is a good example of the size holes we were climbing in!!!
The whole group. This space was considered very large!!

Overall, camp was amazing and I feel blessed to have been able to go!

About Time!

Whew! It has been way too long since I last blogged. I keep thinking I need to update the blog, but there have been so many things that have happened it seems to overwhelming...and I never get to it! :) So here is a start...

Shortly after Father's Day my grandparents and my mom came for a visit. It was nice to catch up and great for Reed to spend some more time with them!
