The last week of summer camp has begun with Urban Promise. Everyone is starting to get a little tired but are still pushing forward remembering Philippians 4:13 "i do all things through Christ who gives me strength".
It has been an incredible 6 weeks of building relationships and enjoying new experiences with the kids.
Last week I really felt like I was able to talk to the kids on a deeper level then I ever had before.
On Friday for our trip last week we took the YMAD kids to Canada's Wonderland in the rain for the day.
The rain didn't stop us and we had an super amazing time as their were no line ups.
It was one of my favorite days this summer, I have been to Wonderland many times with some really great friends and I have great memories of those times. But this was over all my best trip to Wonderland. I love rides but I love watching the kids get excited and enjoy the rides so much more!
It was a great day of tears, fear, smile, laughter and yes even a little bit of puking.
Also had some really great conversation with the kids about forgiveness, swearing and other life issues that they struggle with.
I love all of it and even though I am getting pretty tired myself I still enjoy every day.
I am also very very glad that this week is not my last week like originally planned, I love what this organization does, I love the kids and can't wait to continue doing life with them!
