One week from Now our staff will arrive from NC and we will yet again be in the whirlwind that is SOUL! Corey and I are so excited! We have been preping for this time, along with our SOUL director Will, Darlene and Darrin, and the SOUL staff for many many many months and it is finally here.
The whole community is a buzz, every kid and parent i see out at the store, the mexican resturant, the gas station, wherever we may be is always asking, "when is sports camp? When is VBS? What are we doing this summer?" It is truely a blessing! I have had 50 or so new families ask me about our camps, and they want to tell their friends and family members about it...everyone wants to be here during the summer.
It's really awe inspiring and if we weren't careful it could more than likely make or heads swell, because well , "aren't they coming because of what Corey and I have been doin?" or "Aren't they coming because of what NC Yearly Meeting is doing?" Even writing these ridiculous sentences makes me laugh! I know and Corey knows and i'm sure every single one of you reading this know that it's not because of us or the programs we offer it is however All Ultimately and Completly because of God and who He is and what He does that makes the center the "success" that it is. It is because of Jesus Christ and Hie sacrifice!
This summer is going to be truely exciting and i trust life changing for many people..i mean just for Sports camp week we are expecting 125 kids and 60 particpants from not only our groups from NC and Indiana but from the community as well. Truely exciting, and a tad bit overwhelming, but exciting!
Be praying that every person no matter their reason or stay will come face to face with Jesus, the life changer, the grace giver, the biggest bear hug ever given...Pray for the staff, pray for corey and I, pray for our volunteers, and pray for the community...Then allow God to do what He does and change lives
Last youth group meeting tonight.... Gotta go
