We had so much fun at camp! I was surprised to find out that it wasn't as difficult as I thought. Jordan and Macie were supposed to go together last year, but of course that didn't happen. I thought it would be a lot harder being there and knowing that Macie never had the opportunity to attend. The goal at camp is to get the kids to disconnect from the outside world and to realize their need for Jesus. It brought tears to my eyes to watch some of the children accept Jesus. Fortunately, Macie had already accepted Christ and she was prepared to be with Him. All of the fun at camp could never compare to the fun we will have in heaven! I still missed her terribly and wished she could have been in our cabin with us. One of Macie's friends from preschool was in our group, and it was strange watching her and Kaylee hang out together. Macie should have been right there with them.
Carter, on the other hand, didn't enjoy his week at all. He was too young to attend camp, and he has never been away from me for more than a night. He spent a lot of time crying, and whenever I would call home, he would yell, "come home NOW!!!" We were so excited to see each other on Friday. He ran right to me, and we were both holding back tears. I was able to get a glimpse of what my reunion with Macie might look like one day.

Amanda, I am so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful time at camp with Kaylee and Jordan. I think it is so important to continue to share every moment with them that you had planned to share with Macie as well. You are not only helping build strong memories with them, but also teaching them that it is ok to do fun things without Macie because they will get to experience the ultimate joy with her in Heaven! You are such a great mother!
