Camp of the Hills stole my heart.

I just had the most incredible week.

I took my 8th and 9th graders to Camp of the Hills in Marble Falls, TX last week. We were the volunteer staff for the session, and had the privilege of cooking, serving and cleaning up after every meal of the week. Three times a day, for 200+ people, we worked in the kitchen. It was so much fun. 

CotH is a camp for inner city kids. They bus them into the Hill Country and give them an experience of a lifetime. They get to be loved on like never before, and they see Jesus. The counselors at CotH were dedicated to serving the kids and teaching them about the Lord's love and new life in Christ alone. I was really impressed by this camp's mission. I'm even thinking about possibly working as a counselor there next summer. I felt so at home there. 

Oh ya... I also got married to the camp director while I was there... (good story... I'll tell you later.) Good times. :)

On another note...

I'm freaking out a bit. 

I'm moving to Atlanta in 2 weeks. 

2 weeks.

That's craziness.

I've got so much to do before I leave... Lock-in's, One more mission trip, so many people to spend time with, projects to finish, and not to mention... packing up. 

Then I start working at GAC in ATL on July 29th. How crazy is THAT?

My heart is breaking as I think about leaving here. I've grown to love it here at First Colony... and I have fallen in love with my kids... and so many friends. God has blessed my life here. How do I say goodbye? How do I thank these people for all that they have taught me, all that they have given me? 

My heart is breaking,  but I'm always excited about what the future holds for me in Atlanta. God has provided for me life, once again, in a huge way... with a job thats better than anything I could have imagined. in 3 weeks, I'll be Ms.Terry... a High School Bible Teacher at Greater Atlanta Christian School. I'll be living with my best friend, and only 4 hours from my family. God has been for faithful... and I wish I knew how to thank Him. 

The Lord is my Shepherd

I shall not be in want

He makes me lie down in green pastures

He leads me beside still waters

He restores my soul

He guides me in paths of righteousness for his names sake

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I will fear no evil

For you are with me

Your rod, and your staff, they comfort me

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies

You anoint my head with oil

My cup overflows!

Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever!

(Psalm 23)
