The Lousy Blonde posts

No, this would not be "my" description of myself, but rather my beloved General Overseer's wife. I mean, you'd think she since she had not seen me in several months, she'd say something like, "Oh, how nice to see you Sister Lorrie...how have you been"? But NOOOO.....I was greeted with immediate sarcastic slander (I'm still trying to recover... sniff, sniff). Yes, I got scolded like a bad doggy for not keeping you posted on my ever-so-eventful life. Nevertheless, I have to admit it was a well deserved title. But at least I'm not as lousy as Sister Melanie....another 25 days and she'll be making her "annual post"!

It has been a VERY busy summer in the work of the Lord. Our region had a WONDERFUL youth camp last week with around 60 campers (more than DOUBLE last year's attendence)! I had double duty this year as counselor of 12 little girls, ages 8-11 and taught a class of about 25, 8-12 year old kids the Fruit of the Spirit. There is SO much work that goes into camp, but the rewards are priceless. Being able to lead one of my campers to the Lord and the other to sanctification was an absolutely priceless experience that makes it SO WORTH all the hard work. The Lord really moved in our services and it was beautiful to see so many youth seeking the Lord. Of course, I couldn't have done it without my assistant "Sargeant Jessica" (as nicknamed by our cabin). She's a natural with kids and will be a great asset to the camping ministry.

We were SO blessed to able to come "home" to so many of our NC family for their state convention yesterday. Many of them came to our regional convention a few weeks ago to sing in the WV/VA/NC state choir! So we then returned the favor and went to their convention to sing on their program. It was like old times and felt SO GOOD to be with everyone again. Of course we were missing several precious soldiers that have been wounded in the battle, but thank God, several more have enlisted! Oh God, grant me the determination to make it the last mile of the way!

Ok, Mrs. GOW, do I lose the "lousy" title now?? *SMILE*
