Faith like a child

Where to begin......... what  a great, long, first week!
Families leave tomorrow and tonight we had our last club and "Say So".
Kids and parents were able to stand up and share about what this week meant to them. It. was. awesome. Hearing an 8 year old boy stand up and say that he gave his life to Christ this week and had the best week of his life is so precious, and then even cooler is that his parents were in the same room with him to hear him say that.
Then there were parents in tears about how much it meant for Randy to be so vulnerable and real this week and how his life and his story has changed them.
Then of course there was the CUTEST little boy, maybe 4 years old who told everyone the he loved his dog, and his house, and his dog (again), and his mom, and his dad, and his dog, and the person sitting in front of him.......... unbelievable.
It's nights like tonight that far out weigh the hard and tiring times, it's nights like tonight that make everything about what we do in Young Life, everything that makes our life so different worthwhile.
It reminds me of why I always wanted to have my summers available to come to camp and why I always wanted to marry a Young Life guy.
Here are a few pics from the week.
Snow in July!
