Rough Week... but God helps us through

hey guys...

since I last updated a lot has happened... we got to Ruston, La and the camp has gone well.. and the kids are amazing as always.... but the devil seems to be working even then...

Our team (my summer family) found out that our sister Jo's dad was in a very serious accident... he's in the hospital right now as I type this and he is fighting to survive... and right now... it doesn't look the best... but I know through prayer and faith... miracles happen..

Jo left early this morning to be with her family at the hospital in Alabama... and we are continuing to work camp...

and even after all of this my brother Chris (whose on the team as well) found out that a close family friend had died today.. he was quite upset... but after last night and today... I understand..

the pressure and stress of the camp week packed with all these things that keep getting thrown at us.... it can take it's toll...

but Christ gives us strength and courage even through the rough and hard times... he's the only one that has always.. and will always be there for us....

to quote a beautiful song from this summers show... He is our friend when we're in need, He's the shelter that we seek...and when all our lives come crashing in... He comes and rescues us...

just knowing those things gives me the strength to get through the rest of the week... and I know that I have to get through the week for the kids..

That's why i'm traveling this summer... to show the light of Christ to children in some of the darkest places....

God brought me to Frick and Frack for a reason.... to share my talent and gifts that God has given to me.. and make that one week of summer for a child.. the most wonderful week... and show them God's love and kindness... :-)

thanks guys for reading... and I just ask for prayer for Jo's family and my friend Chris... :-)

til next time...
In Christ,
Katie
