Adjusting to life ....

...... Lydia is back!  We went for a week child free.  Well that may sound inviting, I missed her tons .  She was at Camp Geneva.  She had a great time.  She talks about her great experience with her counselors and the many friends she made.

 I need to tell you all a brief story.  Lydia loves going to Hope College events with her Papa.  One of the counselors was a Calvin Student.  The Calvin Student wore a beat Hope necklace and Lydia saw that.  The Next day Lydia thought she would have her own fun and wear a sweatshirt that read Hope College.  May I remind you the weather was 95 degrees.

  Lydia loved them and I think her enthusiasm was contagious to them as well.   Hearing her tell the stories of the love she received brings tears to my eyes.  Lydia shared her prayer request,  she needed prayer for her daddy, so the cancer would disappear.  I am  glad she trusts the counselors to be able to bring such a heavy burden that this dear 8 yr old has on her heart.  I am so thankful also that the counselors came up to me at the end and said we will pray for your husband.  She has known Lydia a week and she has invested her prayer time for a Father of that precious 8 yr old.  I will never forget my Daughters 2012 experience at Camp Geneva. Oh.... can I tell you a God Sighting ....... Lydia only got in on a cancellation.  God only knew that my Child needed that week.   Only a God like you, could make that happen.
