Hume Lake Winter Camp '09!
So, my buddy Tim Brady called me on Thursday around 4pm. He asked me if I could go as a leader with him and his Jr. High Youth Group to Hume. They were leaving at 9am FRiDAY! I had a bunch of things going for the whole weekend but as I thought about it, I called him and said YEAH BABY!
I taught at his church a couple weeks ago, so the kids knew my face. As I pulled up to the church in Alamo, Tim came running over to me and gave me a fatty hug. Not really but that's what I was dreaming about:) Anyways, I found him and then he gave me the kids I would be driving, three 6th Grade girls (that were crazy) and two 8th Grade boys (that didn't really talk). We had a good time driving.
I was praying that the kids would like me and accept me! I was praying that I wouldn't step on the leaders toes. I was praying that I could hear Jesus! I was praying that God would put people in my path that I could talk to about life. I was praying! God answered everything!!!
The weekend was packed with fun, new friends and a whole bunch of Jesus! I was very impressed with Tim and his kids. 1st...there was NO drama! These kids were all different but they were all a little family. It was awesome to see them worship without any regard of anyone around them. They came together to worship and I saw Jesus shine from them! The time in the cabins were fun as usual.
All in all, the weekend was very refreshing. To see ministry happen, see Jesus move and be free. It was nice to be at Hume and listening to His voice.
The hardest thing that I had to cope with was, I was at Hume without my kids. (well, Ryan's kids) I have spent the last 5 years going to Hume in the summer and having great weeks. Building relationships, dealing with DRAMA and seeing God work everything out in His timing. I thank God for everything that I have seen, smelt, touched, tasted and heard at CBC. God is good and I love seeing Him work in his time.
Thanks Tim and Jr. Highers for a great weekend!
