One Year

One year ago I had a couple of staples in my head.

One year ago I could barely walk around my house without needing a nap by the time I got to the living room couch.

One year ago I was getting used to the idea of not getting to travel camps for the summer.

But this year, I am getting ready to finally go (Lord willing)!
I'd ask that you keep me and my team in prayer as we will be spending 7 weeks at 6 different camps. Here's a quick run-down of our team and what we do:
Jodi: main speaker
Kelsey: also speaks some, leads worship on guitar, skits
Patti: back-up guitar, powerpoint, skits and games sometimes- actually she does anything and everything, she's just an awesome servant.
I will be playing drums with Kelsey (and we'll be joined by Alli Peck on keyboard at 3 of the camps), as well as helping with skits, and counseling at Verdugo, Lakeside and LiLoLi.

Our roles change a little depending on the camp, but that's the general idea. The campers at each camp differ in age; some camps are elementary school age, some jr. high, and others, high school; some camps are all girls, others are co-ed.

Things to be praying for now:
-focus: i'm still trying to move into camp mode. Camp work is exhausting, but fulfilling-unless you're not focused on God, then it can bea real drag.
-God's financial provision: He's always so good about that though (c; (and on that note, I was able to work enough this semester to save and cover my bills while I am gone-glory!).
-While the focus is on camp this summer, I also am seeking God as to what I should do after the summer is over-I would appreciate your prayers on that as well.

I'll be posting blogs periodically to keep you updated with specific prayer requests (hopefully every week) and news. I will probably be checking my email and facebook (hopefully posting pics!) whenever I can, but I LOVE getting real mail, so if you want to send me some, below are the addresses I have and the dates I will be at each camp.
