Going into this trip I was nervous and didn't quit know what I was getting myself into. I knew that this trip was going to be special and that the Lord had big plans in store for the kids, the team, and myself, but I had no idea that after 2 days of kids camp that my heart would be this overflowing with joy that comes only from our loving Savior. In the weeks before camp I prayed specifically for the kids that I would encounter in my group. The Lord spoke to me one evening and he gave me the words Carmac and joy. As I was writing down these words in my prayer journal I was confused and thinking, "what in the world does a car and a Mac book have to do with anything." Crazy how our God works and speaks to us.
On the first day of camp, I was looking at my list of kids and the last name that I read was Carmac Walsh. I couldn't believe it. Something that seemed so strange at the time had become so clear. God was preparing my heart for a kid that will become a world changer. This long, curly, red headed kid has a smile that can light up any room. He has a love for everyone, especially our Father. At only 8 years old, Carmac has shown me the joy of the Lord and has touched my heart in many ways. I truly believe that God was preparing my heart for these days and the days to come. I am so blessed by each of the kids in my group and I am so excited to see what the rest of the week holds. God is here and He is working in each of the members of the team and the kids' lives.
