early mornings

cold showers                       

late nights

creaking beds




Why?
Why would I travel 219 miles one way 
why would I stay at camp, knowing Deborah was so close?

it was time to go back
I would be with people who love God and me
it was an opportunity to use my gifts of mothering and teaching
breakfast sandwiches
monster cookies
and baptisms-53 decisions this week
those are more than enough reasons for me!
the kids that chose to be baptized at camp :)
