Mallory and I are back from camp and we had a GREAT time!!! I forgot how much I missed being at that beautiful place until I was actually there! I was nervous driving there by myself but I did just fine. It was nice it was only for 3 days but I still wish it was at least one more day. It seems like just when the kids get used to being there they have to go home. But Mallory made some new friends, as did I. One of my favorite things about camp!! It is unbelievable how close to God I always feel when I am there. I can put all of my worries and troubles aside and just focus on glorifying God and thanking him for all of the blessings I have in my life. And having a few days of relaxation doesn't hurt either! Mallory and I got to be in the same cabin but we were not in the same family, which truthfully was good for Mallory. It helped her to have some independence, even though I was there, and to make new friends. She did get a little homesick on Monday b/c she felt nobody was being nice to her but I think a lot of it was that she couldn't hear what was being said so she felt worried that they just weren't talking to her. After a talk with her family mom it turned out to not be so bad. She didn't want to go home on Wednesday and said she'd go back next year even if I didn't go with her. But I had so much fun myself I have a feeling I WILL be on faculty again next year and every year to come!!!
I am so grateful that we belong to such an amazing church that has the best camp!! I went almost every year when I was younger and loved every minute of it!! I came back a stronger Christian with newly formed friendships that have continued to this day! I learn something new every time I go. This year I learned the Pine Haven Theme Song. Who knew there was such a thing!!
So thank you God for this amazing camp and for the awesome experience that I got to have with my daughter. Without You, none of it would be possible!! You are the creator of all things!!!
