My thoughts: Breakaway-A family disability camp
It's now the second to last day of Breakaway and I'm completely speechless. I went into this week very discouraged, tired and alone. Feeling as though THIS was not the time for another camp in my crazy life. After the first couple hours, I was completely broken. Coming in on Monday with the rest of the "lead team" we got to share our stories. Our stories of redemption, hope and love. There is something about being emotionally naked with other believers that renews your soul. I began to realize that this was EXACTLY what I needed at this point in my life. Since Monday, I've experienced team work like I've never seen, love completely life changing and a God who is so merciful. Throughout the week I've been one of two people working in the children's department. We have 6 kids with us anywhere from Autism, Down's Syndrome to siblings of those children. Day 2 of teaching just ended and we are in the process of sharing the gospel in 3 days...yeaah. It's a challenge but God has been faithful through all of it. I can't even being to explain how thankful I am for lift disability(the organization that is heading the camp). It's a wonderful organization with an incredible vision--bringing families with disabilities together to experience Christ. I don't know how I got to be a part of this amazing journey, but I am eternally grateful for the group that is here serving.
