Beautiful Love...

Wes and I are up in the beautiful mountains of New Mexico while Sid is home working away in the Texas heat. Sorry honey. First session of camp was so wonderful. Like I have said before...a little taste of heaven. We all learned so much. Campers and adults alike. Friendships were strengthened and spiritual renewal was felt.
Now...I want to shout hallelujah about how God moves in people's lives in this post. The beautiful couple in these pictures are two past Blue Haven counselors. Jared Brock and Britni Johnson. Little did these two know that when they came to camp to bless campers that they would find each other. They both hold a tight grip on my heart because of what they have meant and mean to my family. Britni has been in our world for many years first through the Red River Encampment and then CBH. She has a heart for God...never ending and never giving up. Both our boys had Jared as a counselor in the past years at camp. His love for the Lord and the way he has challenged our boys to be men of God and to be in the Word has made a huge impact on them. They will be married at camp this weekend. God is so good. I am so thankful.



I will not be able to get internet connection very often up here for the next few weeks. I will get back on as soon as I can. Blessings, blessings, blessings on your every day! Focus on Jesus!


Love, Amy

Remember: Your family probably does not care if your house looks like something out of Southern Living. They love the traditions and old ornaments and chipped Christmas mugs and plates. Our kids sure do. It is hard when we compare what we have to other people's "things" or decorations. We are all so richly blessed. I say, just don't do it. I...
