the happiest place on earth isn't disney
The actual happiest place on earth is a little camp in Missouri. I've spent only three weeks of my life there, but I wish I could spend so much longer down there. Oh, I love that place! Camp Barnabas, for those of you who don't know, is a camp for people with special needs, so that they can experience the fun and joy of a normal summer camp, just like other people do every year! It's such a unique ministry that has allowed me to learn so much about disabilities, sacrificial love, and prompt and unswerving obedience. You know, sometimes God calls you to do something and you kind of go, Nah, not my thing. Get someone else to do it. Someone in the Bible actually said that to God, did you know that? And he ended up getting swallowed by a freaking whale. That's not on my bucket list. It's that time of year where every time I have a breather, my mind wanders back to summer, I locate a Barnabas shirt, put it on, and start counting down the days until I can go back.
