Junior Camp @ SVBC 2015


Tuesday was the first day of our first Junior Camp that our church put on.  We don't have any Junior Camps that are close for our kids so our children's pastor and his wife decided to hold our own.  
Our camp was located at Davis Creek Park in the foothills of the Sierras between Reno and Carson City.
It was a beautiful spot on the top of the hill among the pine trees.  Minus the hike up the stairs - up and down, up and down!  I might never recover! :)


My girls and I and the Moore family were the first to arrive.  We got to work carrying everything up the hill and setting up camp and tents.  Michael was such a big help and I want to say thank you for all he did this week to help and make it happen!

 Soon the other workers and campers begin to arrive.  We had hamburgers for dinner then chapel service, singing around the fire with Bro. Josh and his guitar and s'mores.


 Summer and I came home Tuesday night and I had roses and a card waiting for me from my husband.  So nice after a long day of camp!  


Wednesday, I took my husband to the airport at 5:30am and then it was back to camp for the day.


They had breakfast, morning chapel for two hours, a horseshoe competition, lunch, the Amazing Race activity, free time, horseshoe championship, dinner, chapel, ice cream and s'mores.


I took the teen counselors off for a treat to Starbucks in the afternoon.  They did a great job this week.


Summer and Abigail got to hang out while their moms worked.


There's something special about a campfire.


Sometimes the best singing is hanging out. :)


I headed home Wednesday night to a beautiful sunset.


One of the blessings of the week is Lyberty received Christ as her Savior!  Praise the Lord!

It was a good three days of fun, fellowship and growing.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
