Good morning Michigan!
The students have been doing such a great job posting, I thought I should do one too. :) Really, I want to say what a great bunch of students and adults we have!!! One fine example is the group of 5 that, without anyone asking them, went into the kitchen to find out if they needed help. Without telling anyone except the adult who had to wake them, they started getting up at 5:30 EVERY morning so they could help make breakfast by 5:45! They then served it AND made sure they returned early enough each day to do the same with dinner!! They have been amazing!! Today I asked the other churches to step in and help as our students need a bit more sleep. If I had not intervened however, they would have happily done this the entire camp!!
This is only one example of many. God has been SO very good. The construction project that came out of nowhere, the way the kids have embraced my kids being here, at the park site the kids are even great! For anyone that doesn’t know, the park site is usually SUPER challenging bc the kids are not used to receiving love so they respond in various ways. We started using a different technique a couple years ago (instead of telling or getting upset with behaviors, we ignored and kept loving them or acted super funny in unexpected ways to throw off the bad behavior) and it appears to be working!!! The grace of God is POWERFUL!
More to come,
In His Grip,
Amy
Thanks for sharing Amy. Those kids are an amazing group of kids. They give with their heart and don’t complain. I am so proud of them. Love and miss you Brandon! Hi Anna
So glad to hear that things are going well!! I have been telling people for months that we have an amazing group of future leaders. They love serving the Lord and are always willing to be in the kitchen and help the adults with in and everything. Thank you Amy for sharing these very kind words. Miss you Anna and Matthew!! Hi Brandon, Olivia and Tori and team!!
That is great to hear! Hope everyone is enjoying themselves.
I am sure Dakota is loving being with the little ones. We are so blessed to have these kids in all of our life’s what a great group. The leadership in past years did a great job mentoring the kids so that they can step up to the leadership rules. We are so proud of each and everyone of you! We miss you all very much.
To all the adults thank you so much for mentoring our kids and helping them spread the word of God. What a blessing each one of you are to our kids.
