Home from Camp
We've made it back from camp safe and sound, and I've just about recovered from the typical sleep deprivation that always accompanies a week away at camp. It was a fantastic week, though definitely intense as the Lord was doing a deep work in many of the girl's lives. The spritual battle around us was real as many issues were brought to the surface and we were fighting for the freedom and liberty and wholeness of this generation. Never before have I realized the great honor that it is to stand before a generation of young women and call them forth into who God created them to be, and to fight for them in the place of prayer that they would not draw back from the high calling on their lives to be lovers of God and lovers of people. It really was a great week.

And now we are back just in time to prepare for the next season of life which is abruptly upon us tomorrow ~ Taylor starts pre-school! Where, oh, where have four years gone? Our little baby is growing up and ready to take her first big step of independence. I am trying not to ask all the philosophical questions ("Is she ready?", "Are we ready?", "Have we equipped her well enough for this next season of her life?", etc. etc. etc.), though sometimes it's hard not to. I seriously couldn't ask for a better pre-school to send her to; I just hope the adjustment won't be too hard on her. I guess we'll be finding that out soon! Watch this space for continued reports of Taylor's new adventures.

Randall starts pre-school this Fall, too. I'm excited for him because I saw what a great step it was for Russ. I hope it's a great experience and time of growing for Taylor (and that you don't miss her too much). :-)
