It's Okay to Be Overwhelmed

So our friend Whitney got some wise words from Wayne Cagle the other day. "Whitney, it's okay to be overwhelmed." Just to have permission for that somehow comforts my soul. I told my family tonight at dinner that if you take away the moving piece (which, of course, is the BIGGIE), I am overwhelmed even without that. Add that one back in and I am just almost under...but NOT. I have you all and dear friends who are standing in the gap for me right now and I am so grateful. I just packed up my dining room...all my china and crystal. It was so sad. I am trusting in our BIG God to carry me through these days, though. Three hundred campers await the fun tomorrow morning. I pray that I can teach them many of the wonders of our ULTIMATE ARTIST! How I love you all...and am overwhelmed by your friendship...and -- that's okay.

SO VERY FINE

Hey you all,
Wanted to let you know that I've been praying for you and will continue to pray throughout next week as Fine Arts Camp is about to begin. I recognize that it takes so much planning, time, patience, endurance, passion and giving to do this year after year. None of it would mean squat if it weren't for the love and care that you lavish on these kids...and that you all so obviously do. I am believing God for an incredible week where many kids come away with a deeper understanding of our God who wants to free them to soar! I pray many kids will come to know Him and that you all will be rewarded in a sweet and special way, even if just the peace in knowing that you are continuing to make an eternal difference in lives.

I, for one, am blown away by God through you and can't wait to see what He has in store! Thanks, you all, for everything you're doing. I LOVE YOU!! c
