off to camp!

I’m sitting here in my office at work getting ready for an exciting day. This afternoon I’ll be flying down to unalakleet to work at Covenant Bible Camp for two weeks. I’m very excited about getting out and doing something different for a while, but I think when it comes to camp, the different part is what I’m afraid of. It dawned on me the other day that the reason I’ve been approaching this with sort of an anxious nervousness is not because I’ll be away from Lydia for two weeks, we’ve done that a few times before….its not that I’ll be away from all technology that I’m used to (even here in Nome Alaska), or that I’ll be working primarily with teenagers from a people group that even after 9 months I haven’t connected with completely….. I think my source of nervousness comes from the fact that I’m going to camp……and I have no idea what to expect. I know however that just as God does amazing things in the lives of kids at cascades, he can do even greater things in the lives of kids in western Alaska at camp and that’s exciting.

Be praying for me as I head out and will be there for the next two weeks…. hopefully I’ll get a chance to record my thoughts as the weeks go on, although who knows if they will ever get a chance to get online….but you can count on a great recap once I get back (along with tons of pictures!).
