Here's to new adventures!

So while I'm waiting for my ancient laptop to re-start... Again... Might as well start something I've been wanting to do for a while- start AND commit to writing a blog. Lately, when I learn something new, or I'm just tinkering around creatively, and come up with something useful, I think about writing it down somewhere, for me, and also for others to be helped by. So here it goes! 
Here is the view from my "office" while I get ready for some end of Summer campin' up at Joy Bible Camp. My hubby and I are going up there as volunteer counselors to a bunch of 'Sr. Youth' and we are both crazy excited, and a tad nervous. I haven't been a cabin counselor since I was about 17, and Phil has never been one, and now that we get to go to camp together, 3 years into marriage and never doing anything like this together yet, it should be quite an adventure! When I come back, my goal is to share some of the joys an challenges of our "JBC Adventure"! 
For now, it is time to finish up my outline for the elective group I am running- "Word Art, Doodling, etc. and Whatever-else-along-those-lines-that-floats-your-creative-boats"... (I'm still working on a better name for when I present the option to the kiddos, don't worry). 
Also, I am working on some AM devotions to lead my cabin kiddos in (ahhh, scary)! Sometimes there is nothing more humbling than being put into a leadership position of kids who have hearts for Jesus. I am looking forward to learning lots from them (and hopefulky be able to guide them on their God-journey in some way that is impactful). 

So here's to new adventures and room for growth! .. And prayer that somehow I can do it gracefully 😁
