Team Reveal is in 2 Days

Oh my gosh.  If you are around me at all you know that I am super pumped about Sunday's CentriKid team reveal.  I can't contain it.  I talk about it all the time.  Someone told me the other day to quit tweeting about camp.  I can't, I am super excited, over joyed.  Don't get me wrong. I love life here at WBC I am going to be sad to leave it behind.  I just have an overwhelming feeling God is going to use this summer to radically change me and I need that so bad.  And I am prepping for that change now.  Also, this is different for me.  I sat camp out a year to be a children's minister.  To work on the front lines so to speak.  Which has been great.  I have loved every second.  But it has been TWO YEARS since I worked camp. TWO. I am over whelmed with excitement because it has been so long.  I was in tears last year during this event reading where all my friends were going to work.  I was in tears the week everyone was at Campbellsville. I made a regular part of day to look at new pictures from camp.  God told me though, I have you were I want you.  There are big things to do at this church.  And there were.  And we did big things.  But, I also knew I would be at camp again.  And Sunday I meet my new family.  I cannot wait.  ICW. I can't wait.  If you are reading this pray for all the office folks preparing for Sunday, the directors and ADs as they begin to lead their teams, the new staffers who are entering into the camp roller coaster for the first time, and pray for returning staffers as they become acquainted to a new team.  Pray the gospel will be central and that relationships will be central.  It will be and they will be.  They always are at camp.  No question.  Pray that they would be in everyday life as well.  Because you see, camp is not as much about what goes on with a bunch of third through sixth graders in Kentucky or Mississippi or Texas or Florida or Arkansas or even this year California and Ohio.  It is about what those third through sixth graders and adults and staffers for that matter take back to their lives.  Because often life change begins at camp, but it certainly cannot end there.  So, please, pray for that.
