EXCITING

I am really pumped up for 2 reasons. One because we will be leaving at 3 am to sunrise hike the mountains above, "Twin Sisters." It is the first sunrise hike we are going to do since I have been here. We have to wake up at 2. Sunrise is suppose to be at 5:30, so we have to make sure that we make the 2 and half hour hike on time. I am pumped number 2 because we had a really good roundup service tonight. We started doing this think called TREK for the teens which stands for The Real Experience of Kids. It has been very powerful every night we have had roundup so far. So needless to say this week has been great. I have constantly found myself reflecting on a song by Eddie Kirkland called "How He Loves." I want to share some lyrics with you because there have been so many things that have reminded me out here in Colorado of just how much he loves us. Hope you all have a great week!!!

We are His portion and He is our prize

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If His grace is an ocean we're all sinking

And heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don;t have time to maintain these regrets

When I think about the way

That He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us

Oh how He loves us

FOREVER

It has been forever since I have posted so I will try my best to fill you in. I have been busy making videos and taking pictures. This week (week 4) we have the first group of teens here. It has been good to get some older individuals here. They don't have to ask when they can go to the bathroom and "can you please tie my shoe." I have put some videos from camp up on youtube. So feel free to check them out. Last night for our weekly party we went down to Estes to have a Timberline Idol party. I shaved my head to try and look like Chris Daughtry. Judging from the crowds reactions I succeeded. It was one big fun dance party.

BEEN A WHILE

So it has been a while since I have posted ANYTHING, but a lot has happened. We are now in week 2 with the kids actually being here. Whenever the kids arrive we do a big opening day celebration. On both of the opening days that we have had it has snowed. Just to let you know it is summer in Colorado. The camp is at the base of Long's Peak which is a 14,000+ mountain. I plan on climbing it before I come back home but we shall see. The past 3 days the weather has been incredible. Yesterday I went down with the golf guys to get some footage and pictures. The course was absolutely gorgeous. Hopefully all of you guys back in NC are staying cool. Miss you guys!!!!

GLORY

Monday night we were having an incredible campfire. A huge storm rolled in on us and we had the chance to see some incredible lightning above the mountains. I tried my best to try and capture the moment. The picture above is that. Hope you all have a great day!!!!
