Today i was reading Tiffany's blog about Jim going to visit BBC to recruit for staff this summer and while reading it I got one of those gut wrenching realizations in my stomach; my summers at Bayouca are over.
This realization makes me sad because for the past 3 summers God has used Bayouca to challenge me and to grow me in some much needed areas of my life. I am not the person i am today if it were not for Bayouca and to my boyfriend who i hope reads this very closely i am not the woman that you know today if it were not for Bayouca.
God litterally brought a frightened girl to BaYouCa 3 summers ago and 3 summers later he emerged from it (through the help of some wonderful people) a beautiful young woman. I feel like i can describe my experience at BaYouCa much like the process a butterfly goes through before coming a butterfly.
Those of you returning to BaYouCa do not take your time there forgranted challenge yourself and listen to the others who challenge you there as well.
As Amy has often helped me to understand it was a season of my life; a season i can't go back to but a season that i will never forget.

We got a NIce email from Steve...he moved To Louisville, and started Seminary.
NO more camp for him either.
I wanted him to go to Russia with me.

I remember my last day of counseling at Bayouca....during my break, I went around and took pictures of all the places I loved, thinking I would never go back.
You never know what God might have for you. He has this way of letting you visit...
Well I thought my camp days were over, then....We do the dinners where I went to camp for fundraising, and MY KIDS are going to the SAME camp I WENT to!!
Yah..weird
I'm the same way...this will be my first summer not working at a camp ever! It's going to be hard and so I completely understand.
