I heard someone say once while in college that when you become a Christian Jesus doesn't promise that your life will be easy, but it WILL be better. I think about that often as Stephen and I continue on this incredible journey the Lord has put us on. This past year has been full of highs and lows and change has been the only real constant we've had. I was looking over one of those stress tests that puts a number value on each stressful event that happens in a year. Well Stephen and I have topped the chart and we're still smiling. It really has shown us that while I say change is the only constant our foundation is set on Jesus Christ. He equals out the stress, but we just have to remember to stay focused on HIM and not what else is happening in our lives. Anyway with all that said. We have moved and started summer camp for the 8th time! Stephen is the guy in charge and of course is doing amazing. He did tell me though he wasn't used to having to depend on quite so many other people. Greyson, Landry and I have been along for the ride helping as much as we can. I do love that our boys do everything with us and I often times find myself carrying both around, Landry in the wrap and Greyson on my hip. I am tired a lot, but I wouldn't want it any other way. Greyson gets to see Stephen and I working each day with each other, other staff, kids and parents. But best of all he gets to see us all laugh and play together. He is also so outgoing it has been such a blessing to see him reach people and children we could never. Here are some pictures from our summer staff and Stephen putting together the summer video for the kids.
