The camp season is quickly approaching and my daylight hours will be devoted to camp ministry.  The days are exciting...and enjoyable rubbing shoulders with all the campers - so  many needs -spirtual, emotional and physical.   Perhaps something I say or do will be an encouragement. 

Usually I take along a small bag of yarn to crochet a project.  There are times of waiting - usually around meal times.  (You just can't finish eating and rush out the door.)  It's amazing what those little times can add up to be...one summer I worked on a baby blanket and finished it during these short waiting times.

Recently, while on a trip to MI we stopped by some yard sales.  I found a bag of yarn for a $1.00.  On the trip home I made several things from that yarn...a pair of mittens, a pot holder, and then this purse.  Just can't seem to keep my hands still.  It is part of my life to make things and usually give them away as gifts throughout the year. 

Phillippians 1:6  "Being confident of this very thing, that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;"  

I don't know about the creations that are made by my hand...how God can use these creations to be an encouragement, that's up to Him, but I do know that this summer of camp ministry is something to be confident in too.  I trust that God will use these coming days to be a time of growth in campers, young and old, and perhaps they will come to understand and know Jesus better.  A transformed heart.  That is the best creation of all.
