Champions for Life!

The most rewarding two weeks of my year just ended - again. It's interesting to me that, as a teacher, I spend my life with kids every day - teaching them, guiding them, listening to them and molding them into responsible, intelligent, thinking individuals; yet even with of all the time spent in my career, the two weeks I spend with the kids at CFL are more rewarding than most of the days in my classroom.

I am truly thankful for the work God is doing and will continue to do as the kids return to their 'homes'. When I talk about camp to friends and family, I can't quite get across the extraordinary things that go on at CFL. It's certainly something you have to experience in order to believe and understand.

God has truly blessed me with the opportunity to be part of such an amazing ministry with equally amazing people. You can't be on the grounds of Camp Cavell without smiling and feeling loved - even if there are abnormally large spiders, uncomfortable beds, yucky well-water showers and camp food. =/

Please continue to lift these foster children in prayer, as well as Champions For Life Camp. Until next year...

PS... check out the website and article in the Macomb Daily about the camp!
