Working Weekend

Hi there - this is Jason making one of my rare posts on our family's blog. A couple of things to share with you:

1. If you ever read our blog you will no doubt by now have been uplifted and encouraged by Dawn's words. She has a gift to share a message the Lord has given her and put it into words that touch your heart! Last Sunday, right in the midst of the spiritual battle we were going through, she gave the message at our church. We had a "Camp Sunday", and so Dawn and I led the worship music and Dawn gave the message. In fact just minutes before starting the service was when a huge spiritual attack happened - imagine that, right before Dawn was going to share the truth of God's Word!!! I guess she must have been doing something right for Satan to have been that awful to us. Praise God that our God's power is stronger, and "the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). Normally the sermons are recorded and uploaded to our church's website, but Dawn's is not there yet! I so wanted to share that with you. When it's there we will let you know, so you can visit and listen. Take this as a "teaser", so you will check back soon and click the link to listen!!!!
2. This weekend is our Counselor-In-Training weekend (CIT) at our camp. This is where young people who are 14 or older this summer who want to volunteer their time at camp come and receive some training on what's involved and how to lead others. It's a busy time with me cooking the meals, Dawn leading parts of the training and so on, so we do some trading off and "tag team" with work and the kids. The kids have been helping me in the kitchen, one at a time, having Daddy time in the kitchen. It's been fun, and they've been doing an awesome job! I wanted to share this picture with you. It's obviously Dawn in a rare photographic appearance on our blog, with Joanna at the door ready to go do "check in" for the kids coming to camp this weekend, and lead some activities. This is what I call a working mom. And, Dawn reported when she got home that Joanna slept the whole time. Who wouldn't sleep snuggled next to Mommy for a few hours! She slept right through the "jump up and down" songs and everything! Enjoy!
