BT09...

For the past three weeks, two times a day, I have found myself sitting in corporate worship with teenagers from all around the country. Interacting with students day in and day out is such a blessing! Sitting in the back of an auditorium and watching students encounter Christ is more than powerful. In just these past three weeks, God as taught me so much about myself and who I am in Christ. I have been challenged in my job, challenged in my walk with Christ, and challenged by my amazing team and their hearts for the Lord. I praise God for blessing me and Graham with an incredible team of college students and college graduates. These people are beyond wonderful! Their love for Christ and desire to serve in His name never ceases to inspire me. The Blue Team...also known as BT09...is a blessing to me!

I truly love my job. I love the fact that I am able to play a part in making camp happen for students across the country. I pray that my work makes the work of every Youth Minister attending Student Life this summer easier so that they can spend more of their week at camp pouring into their students. My favorite part of my job, though, is getting to love on and encourage 11 of the most incredible girls I have ever met. Take a look at them:


Aren't they gorgeous??! These girls are some of the most passionate ladies I have ever met when it comes to talking about Jesus Christ. They have truly challenged me, more than ever, to dive into the Word and strengthen my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I praise God for each of them and for giving me the opportunity to love on them.

Covenant College has been such a fun place to 'live' for the past several weeks. It is on top of Lookout Mountain - the view is INCREDIBLE!!! The weather here is crazy - there are times where we are literally in the midst of a cloud. This is what it looked like the other day...

That's the Chapel that you can barely see in the background. It was so creepy. When it is not cloudy though, this place is beautiful :)

We have been blessed with wonderful Camp Pastors and Worship Leaders. The first week we had Adam Robinson speaking, and Chuck Hooten as the worship leader. The second week we had Jarrod Jones speaking, and Chuck again as the worship leader. This week we have Chad Norris speaking and Aaron Ivey as the worship leader. God has blessed each of them in unique ways to share the Gospel. Here are some pictures of these incredible worship leaders as they lead students to Christ...

That's about all that is going on right now! We have a camp that ends tomorrow morning, and another that starts tomorrow afternoon so things are about to pick up once again around here! After this coming camp, though, we're off to Gatlinburg for our Student Life @ Gatlinburg event! I am really looking forward to it. I will write more later...for now it's time to shower and get ready for Youth Minister's meeting and worship tonight. Have a wonderful night :)

Oh...and an exciting update on this summer...throughout our 3 weeks at Covenant, we have had a total of 95 children sponsored through Compassion International! Praise God!
