This summer has been filled with several “firsts” including a first trip to camp for my oldest, Hunter. I learned about the 6 day camp titled “Learning to Lead” at Abilene Christian University (ACU) from my good friend Amy. Amy attended ACU and her son Anson, who is on of Hunter's best friends, was going. Hunter and Anson are very entertaining to watch. Laughter and silliness abounds whenever they are together. Aside from over-night sleep-overs at my parents’ and a few friends’ houses, Hunter had not experienced being away from home for more than a couple days. We talked it up all summer and he didn’t know quite what to expect but he was all for it.
This Christian camp came at a great time for Hunter. Over the past few months we have noticed that he has been more curious about God and his understanding of our faith has been maturing. It has warmed my heart especially to know that he is finding comfort in knowing that he is part of God’s bigger plan and is special just as he is.
