Holy smokes! How in the world did I let almost two months go by without writing a single post?? I know a lot’s been going on and I’ve been super busy lately. But now it’s time to pull out the Pledge and clean up all these dust bunnies and cobwebs.

To be honest, I’ve been wanting to begin writing again. I find it kind of therapeutic and a way to release some of the thoughts in my head. So even if there’s only person reading this, I’ll still try to write more because it makes me feel better when I do. And mom, since chances are good that you would be the only one reading this, please don’t feel the need to post embarrassing stuff. Okay? Thanks!

Today we wrapped up SVBS & Flood Camp 2011. It was quite a bit of fun but also a ton of work. It’s amazing to think that God used me to help impact the lives of several hundred kids. One of the cool things that we did was do a Skype video call to a woman in Kenya who runs an orphanage. The kids here got to see and talk to the kids half-way across the world. Isn’t technology cool?

Throughout the week our kids raised over $7,000 to donate to the orphanage so they can build a new house for the kids over there. C’mon, how awesome is that?!

And if I’m not mistaken, we also have over 50 kids make a decision to accept Jesus this week! Amazing! It still boggles my mind how God can pull all these people into one room, and with different gifts and talents we can, together, show these kids the love of Jesus and affect their lives for the better.

We also got to have a little bit lot of fun and go crazy with the kids during the closing session. Now if only I knew how to shuffle…
