FUGE Summer Camp - Convergence, Part 1

I am in Mobile, Alabama, as I type this...

  • as Tropical Storm Cindy makes landfall
  • as I spend the week with five young ladies
  • as I am being blessed (even though I am a bit stressed at times with five girls)
  • as I attend my second FUGE camp.
Just wanted to write a quick note, for we are off to Worship in just a few minutes to jot down a few reflections about this week.
  1. One should always bring two chaperones, or one will be constantly pulled in too many directions.  Next year, I just want to be the van driver.  I like that job.  Now, if the Lord would just see fit to work that out so that other chaperones will attend?  :)
  2. My daughter wanted to do MFUGE...instead of Centrifuge, so I got her and another girl and myself switched.  Now, we go off campus each day and spend time with some group around Mobile this week just enjoying our time together.  So far, we have spent time at a community center, a home for physically/mentally challenged people, and a homeless shelter.  Oh, my.  Many mixed emotions the last two days.  Sadness.  Appreciation.  I.  Am.  Just. So. Blessed.
  3. My group of girls...the Fantastic FUGEttes...need just a touch this week.  All five of them have needs.  Such huge needs.  What a group.  I look forward to being able to write about them...hopefully, in Part 2.
  4. For the first time in my life, I have had a Tropical Storm Warning pop up on my phone.  That just does not happen in Arkansas.  No,  Not ever.  Just for the sake of memories, I screenshot the image!  We are safe...but often wet...for it is raining...and raining...and raining!  With an occasional tornado warning here and there.
  5. Our church group staff member is amazing...and gifted...in the area of missions.  I do pray the Lord blesses her abundantly for her efforts.
Off to Worship...

Oh, HUGE thanks to Sulphur Rock Baptist for funding this trip for the girls.  Not sure they realize how blessed they are.  I hope they do.
