I love being up on the moutaintops of KBA with God. This week I got to share that experience with my niece and three other girls from church. It was the girls' first time to go. It's always a great time for me to get away from the world for a short while and spend some time focused on God. I think the girls really benefited as well. We were blessed to be joined by our pastor this week who made sure that we stayed hydrated in the heat.
The lack of sleep was nothing compared to watching these girls go deeper in the Word and learn more about God. To watch them sing in the worship services, and raise their hands to worship God brought great joy to me as well. It was awesome to watch the girls make new friends, and to make new friends myself (or meet fellow brothers and sisters in Christ) and to see old friends again.
We had excellent preaching all week, awesome music, great classes, thought-provoking cabin devotionals at night. The theme throughout the week was staying connected to Jesus. Johnny Montgomery did an excellent job of bringing things down to the kids' level.
In the afternoon, we spent some time playing games and on the Ropes course, learning that we have to work together, that we have to watch out which voices we are listening for, and that our brothers and sisters in Christ are here to help us along the way. I'm trying to get a slide show to work which I'll post later.

Awesome post! It's great to hear how God is working in the lives of RaeliJo and the other girls. I'm excited you got to go with them. Love you!
