Fall is in the air.

The past two weeks have been, well, amazing to say the least. Randomly the Lord told me to ask if there was any help needed at the Belfast Teen Camp, and I ended up going to help as staff. I brought 3 high school girls with me, my sister Bekah, Bekah Cass, and Mariah Kerr with me from our church. It was all very spontaneous, but I have come to realize that at heart, I'm up for anything at any moment (within reason, obviously). In my life experience people are very uncomfortable when they dont have time to prepare for something, or even to leave for a week to go to a teen camp days after I find out I'm going. But, I think i thrive on it. I love change, challenges, and overcoming things that are uncomfortable for me. Anyways, teen camp was great, The Lord spoke to all the teens so much, and I felt really comfortable serving along side the Belfast church. Of course it had to end, so we drove back praying for the short blue bus the whole time, and it made it! We had a short weekend, and then sunday we started preparing for VBS that coming week.

Our VBS this year was "High Seas Expedition" So we all dressed like sailors and the church became a ship. Once again we got to learn the oh so humbling childrens songs with motions, and got to act like children ourselves, while leading the children to Christ, a must. The Vast voyage ended on Friday night when we had a Barbq, bouncehouse and outreach concert set up right next to the Route 3 roadway. The Jon Dudley band came up from Machias, and Calvary Belfast's youth group, and various church members. It was a great time of fellowship, and the kids had a blast in the oversized bouncehouse.

The past two weeks have been crazy, full of the Spirit and direction of the Lord.

Through it all, The Lord has given me so much joy, its unspeakable. Thank you Jesus!

Next, I hope to be involved in serving in the school as it starts on August 23rd. Meanwhile, I will be praying about the next step the Lord has for me.
I cant even explain the contentment He has given me about being here in Maine, it's starting to scare me, but in a good way. It's not a fear of wanting to hide, but to take His hand and lead me, while I know He is in control.
