What family camp meant to me
I really loved family camp. I took a chance and camped across from my friends, and people I've been a little intimidated by for a couple years now. The gift was that God's family is vast, and there is room for us all.
When I was growing up, we never did anything like family camp. I realize, no criticism to the folks, we SHOULD have been doing these things, to build a strong Christian family and plug into what matters.
The lesson is that I CAN do it differently and learn from mistakes. I can follow the Lord's plan for the family, even if it is just me.
And I am so grateful for my church family. I love them and I feel truly at home with them.
Please bless both of my families Lord. Heal the hearts, make the ties strong and bless the mommies and daddies out there doing it your way. Thank you for family Lord. Thank you for the Church, whom you love.

We love you so much! Roger and I were talking last night about how much we enjoyed camping with you and how much we like Ike. I'm glad we're finding time and space to connect 20-some-years later on a whole new level. God is so good to bless us all through our relationships with one another.
PS Don't be too intimidated... we really don't have it all together... you'll see as you get closer! =)
PPS I'm assuming you were referring to us... see: pretty dorky, huh? ;)
Of course I'm referring to you :) Blackberry party was a blast!
