Guelph Bible Camp

Tom and Beth were missing some counselors, Hiccup and I got recruited. Our first time counseling - but we had a ton of fun planning the devotions, decorating the room, and well everything!  
Our camp names! So thankful this beautiful gal was my co-counselor! She was such a blessing
Our lovely girls - we were so blessed - seriously had the best cabin!
 Our Cabin Decor
 On the outside wall - all our names
More cabin decor
 The one night our whole cabin went to dinner "dressed up" with some things I had brought from home! 

 Game Time

 Shuffleboard
 Challenge Course
 Counselor's Challenge
 Grab-the-tube
 Flour-capture the flag


Shane was the "speaker"! Great analogies, captured all the kids attention, and made a heart application!
So appreciated all the messages
Each chapel time there was a quiz on the previous message - great way for the kids to interact - they all loved it
Time set aside for Bible memorizing
 Was able to spend some time with Shantel - appreciate this gal
A "slip-and-slide" - was great
 The last night we had a banquet - everyone dressed up - was so much fun!
 One my campers that gave her heart to Christ this week
Terribly cute kids that hung around all week! So sweet
Another sweetie that ate dinner with us almost every meal
 Another camper that gave her heart to the Lord
 A selfie
A funky picture of us all:) 
So thankful for the opportunity to spend the week there! Was just what I needed at that time...so thankful too that I was able to get off work! I have a great, flexible boss!
It was spiritually refreshing and full of stretching times! Thankful for all the grace and strength God gave!
Will I do it again, yes - of course!

I Am Your Shield

This is a song that has been a great encouragement to me and so I wanted to share it with all of you, hoping that it will minister to you and encourage you on... even during the dark times! May He give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of those secret places!  I Am Your Shield Rachel Wissman My child are you discouraged  By the sorrows of the day Does it seem like life is crumbing The skies have turned to grey Don’t forget I gave you promises to guide you every hour In the moment of your heartbreak Let me show you my great power   And I will be your shield When the battle rages on And I will be your light when the way ahead is dark I will be your strong tower And guide you every hour Just place your life completely in my hand I know it won’t be easy I never said it would But my grace will always be there My plans for you are good Remember that your weaknesses are perfect in my sight Only when you yield them to ...

This one shift turned into many more as Ben went to the supervisor (unbeknownst to me) requesting the same schedule. These shifts proved to be a highlight in my week and I couldn't wait to get on the truck every other Sunday with Benjamin. I cannot tell you when we started dating, but our first time meeting up to study (outside of work) was October 12th after school in a Starbucks in Grimsby, ON. Benjamin was a once in a lifetime friend and I was growing to admire and respect the man I saw in him. Finally, our school semester was over and we were able to spend a bit more time together and getting to know each others families. He fit into my family so well from day one. My siblings adored him as he took time to listen to them and be interested in their lives! Christmas together was amazing...and then it was ...
