This year's Cuz'n Camp was a little different since it was planned at the spur of the moment so to speak:) I had made a few plans, knew the theme, bought some crafts early when on sale, but had not been able to nail down a date for when to have camp and really was not ready to have it when we did...or so I thought:)
The Lord showed me that He had it ALL in control and He provided us with ALL that we needed to have a GREAT Cuz'n Camp 2009. I have learned over the years also "to be flexible or you will break"!
Now if you know me I am a very well organized planner...having every detail in place:) Well, not so for this year's camp. It was decided in just a couple of days the week it was to be. Since we were gkid sitting the Schubert 5 at our house for the weekend of the 19th - it seemed as good of a time as any to go ahead and have Cuz'n Camp the following Monday (22nd)...whether I was ready or not (as far a planning goes)!! Five of the oldest Bledsoe gkids came over and four of the Schubert gkids stayed...making nine gkids in all attending Cuz'n Camp 2009.
I chose to remain flexible and layed back as not to be frustrated with my lack of detailed planning. God showed me that He had already prompted me weeks ahead to purchase needed snacks & food, craft items, pool toys, etc. And of course, God had already given me my best earthly helper, granddad, to run errands and get what we needed for the week! I knew well in advance that we where going to study and learn the 10 Commandments, but I had not yet put anything together like visuals etc. So I got on the internet the night before camp to began my search of "The 10 Commandments". Yes, it was a late night but there is so much good stuff, visuals, etc on the 10 Commandments for teaching children. By 1 a.m. I had all the visuals I needed and the teaching planned. I was thanking the Lord for His goodness toward me. There was even a site where if you recited the 10 Commandments to an adult you could sign up to receive a free 10 Commandment magnet. I even found sheet music to a 10 Commandment song that gdaughter, K. played and taught us to sing. Yeah for the internet:) The gkids loved it and our camp couldn't have been better:)
Once again the Lord showed me that He has it ALL in His good Hands!
It always amazing me too how well the 9 cousins get along for a week together. They truly love being and playing together. What a BLESSING they are to us and to each other!
