The last couple of days I have been thinking about God's Grace, and how that affects my life. I try to picture myself explaining His grace and mercy to people who don't know about it, and I find myself speechless. How can we be such failures, and so unexpressibly lost, and yet the Lord of the entire Universe still loves enough to set those aside? It's awespiring. There is nothing we can do to stop that grace or push away from it. It is always there. No matter my failures and my faults, I still can receive His grace and accept that I am still a child in Christ. That is something that has been pounding on my head as I try to love my campers no matter what. Our love on earth is so conditional, and yet we need to try to understand an unconditional love that comes from the Creator? It's mind blowing stuff. Like actually.

The last couple weeks I was counseling girls that were fifteen and sixteen. Oh goodness. I ladore them so much. They were such a blast to spend the camp with. We were able to just be ridiculous with one another, and totally open to one another's differences. As much as I think I am the one doing the teaching, they also teach me so much. As exausted as I was after the camp, I definitley didn't want the camp to end. I have actually been so blessed with the campers I've had all summer. Every single girl has been so important to me, and I just can't wait to see what God will do for them this next year.

It's my last camp (starting tomorrow) for the summer, and prayer is definitly appreciated. It's pretty scary that I leave Canada in less than a month, but I am also super excited to see where God takes me in the next year.

Realize that you are radical, and stay classy my friends.
