Dear Prayer Partners,

Here is a sweet story from our scribe ...
Princess of Quite A Lot

We have every opportunity to speak truth and life into these kids.  Yesterday at Cosmic Games, a favorite amongst the kids during activity centers, a young girl found her name posted on the wall.  Cosmic Games is a glow-in-the-dark experience in the gym where counselors have also written posters of encouragement with highlighters for each of their campers.  The young camper spotted her name on the wall and asked her counselor to read what her poster said.  “Child, you are valued!”, the young princesses counselor read.  The young princess asked, “What does the word valued mean?” The counselor responded, “Well, it means you are important.  You are valuable to someone.  You are valuable to me.”  Later, as the princesses were all getting ready for bed, this young princess was still pondering the thought that she could possibly be valued.  As her counselor was brushing the young princesses hair, she was sharing with her how tomorrow, Wednesday, we are all going to celebrate everyone's  birthday.  The birthday party is a personal favorite.  Everyone gets the opportunity to feel valued, important, and celebrated.  The young princess still questioned, “How am I important?”  Tuning in to God’s heart for His princess, the young girl’s counselor replied, “You are important to me.  I care about you.  But most importantly, God truly cares about you.  He desires for you to feel valued, important, and loved.”  These two young princesses have spent about the last few days together, but once again, the deep meaningful impact of acceptance can be made at any opportunity.  Remember to be mindful of how you are being used to make a difference in the lives of these kids.
