Well I'm sitting here at a camp in Lake Aurora and am amazed at how much the kids here want to get involved, either by buying a shirt or supporting us through donation, and we've had a few express interest in wanting to help from where they are living. Last night there was a message about love and what "love is." I think it's amazing that Renee was able to speak freely about how her faith helped her get through the rough times over the past few years and how she's working towards healing and redemption. It was also cool to learn that Renee and I have more in common in our stories than I thought we did. That's something I've learned over my time here, that although we all come from different walks of life we all are bonded together through our brokenness and need to be whole through Christ. I love the message that is being presented to those who we are trying to reach. You are not alone. You are loved. There is hope. Rescue is possible. I believe that we all need to hear all of these things no matter where we are in our walks of life. We all need some sense of purpose and with purpose (in my opinion) comes hope in things to come. That's all I've got for now, but I have a post that is developing while I process a few things. There's something to look forward to (I guess).
