Mission Springs
The bags are basically packed and the car is slowly being filled.
"Where am I going?"
Only to the best place on earth! I'm guest counseling for a week at Frontier Ranch and I can't wait! I have really regretted not working there this summer although there was plenty for me to do at home and with the covenant church to keep me busy. Boy oh boy have I missed camp!
Back to being called Sweet Pea, having amazing fellowship, and a fun filled week of bringing kids closer to God; nothing is better than that!
Also it's a Jr. High week so the girls that I will have will be somewhere in the 7th-9th grade age. Which means better and deeper conversations!
I'm ready but realized it's easier to pack for a whole summer than a week!
I'll blog about my week once I get home!

True Story
My Parents receive a magazine called The Covenant Companion I happened to pick it up and flip through the magazine, sometimes there is an article that really catches my attention. And exactly that happened an article really caught my attention. The piece is called "Daring to Believe", written by Krista Brumberg Stevens. I want to share the key points that Stevens has made very clear.
"Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger."...
...Going to church doesn't make us Christian; it makes us more aware of our humanity by reminding us of a God who became human. Life in all its fragility can be simultaneously tragic and comedic. Knowing death is right around the corner, constantly, for all of us, only adds depth and nuance to it all. How foolish we are. How noble. How sad. How wonderful. How alone. How together.
We go to church to find a hand to hold or to hold ours and to be reminded that God holds us all. hold fast, dear ones, and when you can't, rest assured God is still holding your hand as firmly as you need.
This article made me think about how society has made Christianity something that it's not.
Whether you are Christian or not what are your thoughts on this?
