thus begins the search for something greater, a real love for herself as she was created.

May you find and take everything from the writings of a girl who is still searching.

amazing love

i dont even know how to start this blog, other than by saying God is Good. For the past 10 days i have been up at Gull Lake Camp doing staff training for my summer! This past weekend was Scamper camp which involved 36 little kids ages 5-7 being entrusted to us, for a weekend of ups and downs, tears and laughter. Although this may sound Biased, my girls were definitely the best behaved girls ever. I had 5 little girls ( Kaya, Kassi, Kinley, Britt-lyn and Sarah) , and Carissa Lynn to help me out. When i met them i fell in love, and it was amazing. We played games, had nap time, hung out, had dance parties, made crafts, ate ALL the time, marched and made up songs, but most of all, we learnt new things about God, and how to share it with others.
They were good sleepers, and loved when we could sing together , or read something from the bible.
Then Saturday night, after a LONG day of playing, swimming, and being 5 and 6, i began praying with them, when Kaya, asked me where God was. So i told her and we talked about Heaven, and God being in our hearts, so i asked them, how do we know God is in our hearts? How do we know God is real? And Britt-lyn said , Because he loves us, and we believe in him. And so i asked if anyone wanted to ask God into their hearts, and Britt-lyn smiled bigger than ever, and said she wanted to. So i prayed with her. And she repeated what i said. I wanted to cry it was the most amazing experience EVER. then i asked her if she had ever asked God into her heart before, and she said only in her head. And she fell asleep with her Bible, after repeating the same verse over and over with me.
God was with us, and Britt-lyn and i will be good friends, as i walk her through her new found love in God.
It was AMAZING.
