He's got the whole world in His hands

Things have been crazy at camp the past few days...more like the past week. If you do not know Colorado has been on fire. There has been an arsonist going around starting forest fires. The one the affected us the most was the Waldo Canyon Fire. It only got within 10 miles of camp but last week we got a wind shift and smelt the smoke. Later that night there were ashes falling around camp. We got close to evacuating but we ended up not having to.
We had a camp here last week and we got them evacuated before things go too close and we decided not to have next weeks camp up here to not risk having to evacuate 300 kids from Michigan. God had his hand over this camp. The other day the girls got together to pray for the firefighters and people who were affected more than us.
Some of the people affected were many of my friends in Colorado Springs. One of my close friends her house was really close to the fire and many of my friends were forced to evacuate. Being at camp and seeing pictures and hearing about all my friends having to leave was so scary.

I spent four months in Colorado Springs last spring and that place is my home. One of my roommates blogged about it a lil and I feel the same when she wrote: "Everyone has that perfect place. That place where nothing goes wrong, that place where things just work. Colorado Springs is my home away from home. I only lived there for four months, but the bonds I forged there and the friends I made are countless and timeless. Colorado Springs will be a part of me forever."  That's where my heart is. And my heart was breaking for what my friends were going through.
Prayer is a powerful thing and that's what me and a lot of my friends spent the past few days doing. Praying for the people who lost their homes, their belongings, for the people working hard to help and for the people opening their homes and giving what they could to the people without anything. There are still fires all over the state but the one close to us has gotten better. We are at 30% containment and my friends are getting let back into their homes. I thank God for wrapping His arms around us and keeping the fire away from our camp.
Please continue to pray for those who lost their homes and for those still fighting the fires all over the state. Feel free to help too, by getting a cool t-shirt http://www.wildfiretees.com/ where 100% of the profits go to Colorado wildfire victims.
I am so glad we are safe but the fight is far from over and so much damage has been done. Prayer goes a long way. God's hands are bigger than ours.
