glory for ever and ever

Ephesians 3:14-17
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

And may it be so in the hearts of our campers.  

Soli Deo Gloria,

Sara

you know...

you are at camp (and have stayed up WAY too late patrolling cabins and eating junk food while sharing engagement stories with the other staff members) when...

in the morning while getting ready for the day, you apply hair product to your face instead of your face cream.

Boo-ya!

PYRO!

Pray for us.  Pray for me!

Heading out today for church camp.  Lots of us are heading out!  It's going to be a big, great week worshipping our big, great God!

Me, most of the rest of Children's Ministry, 30 counselors and....125 campers.  Gasp!

We would covet your prayers for a safe week where our campers come to know Christ with their hearts and their heads.  Where they don't just hear about Him, but experience His grace and truth.  Christ as Lord.  Christ as Savior.  Christ as King.  Christ as their cornerstone, burden-bearer, the author and perfecter of their faith.

I know it will be boatloads of fun, too!

It is going to be a great week.  I can hardly wait!

And when we return, our family is a week closer to being united with Emma Kate.  That's a beautiful thing.

The Return

Theyyyyyyyyyy're baaaaaaaccccccccckkkkkkk!
Notice my washing machine is already running.

They had a ball!
Lots of learning
Lots of Jesus
Lots of laughs
Lots of dirt, sand and stink

It's all good.

And the first load of laundry, I washed twice!
Yep.
Twice!
