Depedendable as the Canucks

A little under a year ago we were all preparing for a program called "Kaleo"; I don't think any of us really knew what to expect. How crazy. My camp ended for me three weeks ago, it was honestly the most amazing summer I've ever spent at camp. God hugely answered my prayer that I wouldn't become content, or stop growing when I left Kaleo. I had the most amazing director this summer who really encouraged me, like hugely encourage me, mentored me. We fought some huge spiritual battles this summer and the power in the name of Jesus Christ was displayed incredibly, filling me with a fresh desire to truly KNOW Jesus, how to better become like Jesus, to follow Jesus. A huge passion to disciple younger Christians, to encourage growth in them was something that was ignited in me. Something I've been praying for is to love people, maybe that sounds really simple, but to genuinely love them, and as nurse, counselor and program director there was definitely a ton of opportunity to work on that. I had a camper with Lukemia and God taught me so much through her, as scarred as I was was to have her in my cabin it was an amazing blessing. One night with my director and another staff member God talked to me in the most real way and guide my words in a way I've never experienced before, I got to share my testimony with our entire camp once a week at camp fires, it was just an incredible summer.
I got home from BC yesterday, an 18 hour drive that was such a blast, I loved driving through the mountains, God's beautiful creation. It was really sweet to see Qwanoes in action, and to see so many of you serving so selflessly.
The day before I left for BC my dad had a diabetic seizure during this sleep, it was the most terrifying moments of my life no exaggeration. We called the ambulance, if my mom hadn't woke up he would have passed away. It was such a weird realization how fragile life is, no matter how certain things seem we aren't gauranteed to live until tomorrow. My mom has been sick for a long time (years), dizzy daily, weak, nauseas, so it's just become normal that she's sick, but this summer she has had several tests and yesterday when I got home I found out she has a tumor (we're not sure yet if it's cancerous or not) on a gland near her brain that has been causing all of this. I don't really know what comes next, surgery or treatments or what, I just feel so overwhelmed, everything that once seemed so certain now seems flimsy. I know God is eternal, never changing, my rock.. If you guys could pray for my family, and for me, my mom really looks to me for strength and comfort, pray that I can be that for her and not afraid.
I love each of you
