Just a small glimpse.

Walking out the door, outside at 3:00pm, not knowing where I was going. I just wanted to get outside of the house for a few minutes to recollect. Turning off onto the trail behind our pond, with clouds above me that promised rain any minute now, I began thinking about the past weeks events. 

Oklahoma- 6,5,4,3,2,1 hours, then down to minutes, then seconds, then we were there. Old friends, new friends, all greeting me with smiles. I love watching faces, especially smiling ones. Not just smiling for just the sake of smiling, smiling for something more- Jesus.

 I've been going to family camps since I was three, but that was eleven years ago, and I still enjoy it very much. Each year I go to Oklahoma and Indiana, I learn something new, that strengthens me, that I find I need to pull up some unrighteous weed from my own character. Sometimes I find myself looking at other people and thinking about what they need to change. How selfish the human heart is! If we would just take a look at our own hearts before we start looking at other people... let God take care of those other people! 

I didn't want to leave this place at all... you see I found out, that I am indeed, an extrovert. Oh, yes. Ha. I could be with people 24/7 if I could. But other things to do for God, ourselves and people, after all did He say "Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature"? That means, when we learn something, that reaches us, share it!

Just a small glimpse at family camp.
