Encouraging Thoughts from Camp and my weekly Menu

Last week, I had the privilege of being the camp nurse for a week at Sooner Bible Camp. It was so nice not having to cook for a whole week! It was a very encouraging time and Landon was a great assistant and trooper.

One of the speakers spoke on 5 of the 7 churches in Revelation. The example of the church of Ephesus was most convicting to me. The Lord praises them for all the things they are doing: for their hard work and toil, their perseverance in hardships, their intolerance for wicked men, etc...
But, the Lord rebukes them saying, "You have forsaken your first love."
Sometimes, it's so easy to get caught up in serving and being busy with things in the body of believers, that we totally miss the point. The Lord wants our hearts.

Psalm 51:17
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise."



A HUGE praise from the week at camp. A girl named, Val, has been staying with the Erb family for almost a year and one afternoon at camp, she realized that she was a sinner and that the Lord Jesus paid the complete price for her sin, and she was brought into the Lord's family. What an exciting week!



Val had to leave yesterday to go back to her home in Mexico, we will miss her dearly (sorry, I can't figure out why this picture is so small!)
