Thursday 5th august

Today i saw: Daisy paying full attention to the nighttime lesson.

she had never been to church, and she sat by herself most of camp. i don't think there was anyone who needed to hear david's story of God's peace more than her. she listened and took notes only after she peeked over and saw me- writing big enough for her to see- taking notes on the important parts. after that, she filled up her notebook with every detail of his story ending with the sentence, "peace comes through Jesus Christ".

i cried a little.

i am not sure if she understood everything that week, but i think she knows now that heaven is not only a transition between one life and another, but it is a permanent place where she could be with her God- the same God who gave david newkirk unspeakable peace, and the same God who loves her and is pursuing her relentlessly.

Wednesday 4th august

Today i saw: my interpretation of the family tree- (drawn over the devotional part in my booklet)

wednesday morning we learned about abiding; staying connected to the true vine and bearing fruit. the family tree, found in the "trees of mystery" tourist trap, began as one tree that was so healthy, it grew new trees off of its own branches. crazy, and beautiful.

Tuesday 3rd august

Today i saw: the largest, most intricate spiderweb ever.

i was scared for the spider because i was afraid his beautiful work would be destroyed by all the crazy kids at camp. but when someone ran through it, he just spent the night spinning it to face the other way so as to allow the kids to run right by it. witty spider.
