First Days At Higher Ground....

 

Last week the boys and I arrived safe and sound at Higher Ground. We have been getting to know the staff here and catching on to how things are run. We have been working hard this week in the kitchen for another camp whose kids' retreat we are hosting. It's early mornings and lots of work during the day. We've done several different jobs such as washing dishes, waitressing, food preparation, clean-up and set-up for the next meal. (This is a picture from the three hour drive we took to get to the camp.)

This picture is for Mommy and Sarah Pau especially.:) This is what it looks like outside at 8-10 pm at night!:) It's really nice to have all that light but really confusing at the same time.:P

 

Blogger has been giving me some trouble so, I'm going to cut this update short.:) For some reason it's not letting me change the picture sizes. Hopefully soon, I'll be able to get a longer post up.:)

 

With the busyness of this first camp we are all pretty tired. It's easy to look ahead and feel like it's all so overwhelming but the truth is, if we take it one day at a time it's not so bad. Even more important is the fact that the Lord is the one who gives us the strength to do what we need to do. Without Him we could do nothing.

 

"For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust.  As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children."
