RFKC

Last week i went to a 6 day camp called Royal Family Kids Camp... Let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! Everything about it! The facility, the kids, the food, personal AC units for each room... I mean, talk about high class!! :) It was by far the best camp i have ever been to. The kids were fantastic, and even though we had a few tantrums every here and there, the majority of my time with the kids was very enjoyable. Or course there was the goodbyes that tore my heart in two and let the flood gates loose... I was and still am very hopeful for each and every one of those kids though. GOD has been constantly reminding me and throughout the camp was constantly reminding me that even though those kids have been through Hell in their lives, GOD is still the same gigantic GOD that parted the Red Sea and saved Daniel from the fierce lions. He reminded me that he was and always will be with those kids as they grow up. I left that camp at peace because those kids just absorbed the truth of the gospel like sponges! It was AMAZING to see that! I was only support staff and going into it i was not sure how or if GOD would use me last week but immediately that thought was shunned from my mind as i began to watch all these little girls run up to me and give me hugs, and as they did motions during worship; they were so thirsty for love and not only that but for GODs grace! I was truly blessed to be apart of the whole camp and to share truth with some listening children. GOD is Beautiful and Awesome and Glorious! Always and Forever! :)

Please continue to pray for the Kids at RFKC!

Family Visits/Birthday Weekend

Wednesday June 9th my dads parents and my cousins came to visit good ol' Texas! It has been a full year since i have seen them and to me that is far to long! Ohhhh how i missed them! This time it has been different though because we have a new house, new games to play, and thats about all i can think of thats different! :) Here is a little summary of our time with them so far. We just bought this game called Guesstures which is like me in a game! It is all about acting out words on a card before they fall down the hole and you lose the points. Sooooooooo, Who would have thought that playing that game with my Grandparents would be so much fun! It was the funniest thing i have seen in sooo long and full of laughter and memories that will last forever. It started with my Grandma in Round 1... She reached over to push the button that would start the timer, and before we knew it she had pushed the button and was making this horrible hissing meets getting bit by a vampire noise... As she pointed to her throat while making this wretched noise we all burst into laughter and started guessing.... CAT, CHOKING, ummmm..... DYING.... VAMPIRE, in the final seconds of the cards life someone yelled GARGLE.... Sure enough that horrible noise and her frantic pointing to her throat was Gargle. Then came Grandpa following after her. He had a few moments of pure embarrassment that will forever stand on his record. One of his cards was baby, It was his last card and he had been doing great the three other cards prior. He stood around and then began pacing the room saying "I have no idea what to do, Oh Geez, Oh no..." Then out of no were... BAM... His thumb went in his mouth and he began sucking on it! We all yelled BABY but by that time it was to late. The card had dropped and his turn was over. Then in another round he got the cards Air, Mistletoe and Dizzy. For Air he put his hands out to his side as wide as possible and began to what looked like kiss the air in different spots each time, Lets just say No one got what he was trying to do. For mistletoe he put his hand above his head and looked up at it, then he puckered up as far as his lips would go, Someone called out his card but it dropped to fast. And then Dizzy... He went on to do a tribal looking dance in circles and as we all laughed someone figured it out and we got the points. Lets just say i will forever remember that night! The rest of the time we have been hanging out, painting rocks, going shopping, eating really good food that is extremely high in carbs, late night swimming and working out til the wee hours of the morning. It has been a fantastic few days that they have been with us and i look forward to the rest of it... Though i dont want it to end they have assured us they will be back for Christmas time! :) YAY!!!

Oh... And i turn 19 tomorrow... EEK!!! :) I am blessed
