Go! — Ready! Set!
I’m sitting in the middle of a puddle of packing. Talitha and I leave in about 3 hours for camp.
All of us volunteers arrive this afternoon and for 24 hours are getting ready for the campers–mostly getting OURSELVES ready. Campers arrive tomorrow afternoon.
I remember the challenge of taking a trip with our children when they were small. How much greater is the effort for a family affected by disability.
So while we’re loading the car and driving, I’m praying for the campers–that God will overcome the feeling of “It would just be easier to stay home”; that God will protect health; that he will hold away any events, behaviors, mishaps that would keep someone from coming. I don’t know all the contingencies to pray about, so over-all my prayer is that God will bring to camp everyone who should be there.
We are so eager to see them!
