First of all, I AM AT CAMP!!!!!!! I am so pumped about being here its kind of unreal..... Anyways, this week I moved to camp and dove straight into work. I got to work on !@#$%^*&^%$#$%^& (i can not tell you what it is) at the ranch and then at the Lakeshore I helpped finish and launch the new blob tower! Yes, thats right, a blob. Some of you might not no what that is and thats ok. I am sure there will be pictures posted soon and I know there are some on the Lakeshore's webpage. Today I am in ABQ dopping off and picking up stuff for camp and then its off to the weekend to rest up for staff trainging week! Well thats the update. Keep praying for the kids and please pray that we can still find another staff member for the summer.
May God continue to bless!

The last day, before the last day, before I leave for camp!
Today is the last full day I have in Clovis before I take off the the Butte for the summer! I am pretty pumped about this adventure! Some prayer requests that I have in late are:
1. Safe travels to camp
2. Our missing staffer
3. That we will be able to finish up all of pre summer prep work
On Tuesday I will be making half of the 6 hour drive to the lakeshore by spending the night at Lone Tree Ranch. Its half way, so it will make the drive much easier. As for the 'missing staffer', we are a man down at the Lake so please pray that someone will respond to God's calling to come to camp, that is if God has called someone. Lastly, prep work. Oh man, do we have a lot of that stuff to do! And we have to get it done before camp starts in just under 3 weeks from now (I think). We will have a 'work group' of girls I believe to come up and help get everything in working order so that will be a great blessing. Well I need to start packing up all of the junk I am taking with me to camp! Until next time,
Chris

Sleeplessness
So I cant sleep.
This is because I keep thinking about this summer.
I am so excited to see what God has in store for this summer! I really really think that something(s) amazing is going to happen and that lives WILL be changed. I keep thinking of games to get the kids to become more of a community and ways to relate the different activities to how God wants and will work though these kids lifes. I feel God working through me, preparing me for what needs to be done throughout this summer and beyond. One thing that I need right now is prayer that I will not think that God has stopped working in me and that he has done everything that he is going to do for the summer or prepared me for everything that I need prep for. For the first time in a very long time I feel like I am starting to become on fire for God. I do NOT want to put out that fire by thinking that I have this, that I got this, that I am in control. I know that is what the devil is looking for to bring down all the work that God is doing in my life right now. I know that this blog is kind of an on running thought but I just want you guys (whoa I didnt say yall) to know my heart and thats to do what ever it is that God needs me to do and I know that I cant do that alone. Thats why its so important that we up lift each other as we do life with the one who wants to do life with us forever and ever. Coming full circle, I am SO PUMPED for this summer! I have never lost sleep for something because I was excited for it before, no, not even Christmas morning. I hope that I will be able to find the words to express how amazing God is though out this summer so that yall can be just as excited about all of the things that I know he will be doing in the campers lifes as the come and do life with Taylor and I this summer. Thanks for all of the prayers and support! I am going to try and get some sleep...

This is where you can get more to the story
So. The Lakeshore. Its is a wonderful place full of amazing people who do amazing things in the name of our extremely awesome God. But, it is not the only place that God works big time in the life's of many. As I come across them, I will be posting links of other extremely blessed people that are sharing their experiences as they grow this summer and beyond. I enchourage for you to go and read these peoples blogs and keep them in your prayers just as you do for me. I hope you have a great day!
