Shayna went to church camp this week at Howes Mills. She goes every year. But this year she went to the middle school week of camp and she did not know anyone. Many people would shy away from going to a camp where they didn't know anybody. Not Shayna. She was excited about going. A few days before camp while riding in my truck she said "I can't wait! I am going to get
to meet a whole new group of people. I am going to make friends with people I've never met - it's so exciting. It's like a fresh start!" She was smiling so big when she said that. Shayna always smiles and her smile is absolutely beautiful. So Shayna went to church camp last Sunday and she came home today. But before she came home she was awarded camper of the week. How about that! She did know a soul on the first day but she knew everybody before she left - and everybody knew her. They nicknamed her "Africa" because the t-shirt she wore the first day of camp had "Africa" on it. That's my Shayna! She
shines like a star, has a warm outgoing personality, she has a great sense of humor and she makes you laugh. She is fun to be with. She's great in sports, in school, she's a great friend - she is outstanding and awesome and best of all, Shayna is full of Jesus. That's right, Shayna loves the Lord with all her heart and that is the reason Shayna shines. Shayna shines because Jesus shines in her. I'm so proud of Shayna - not only for winning camper of the week - she is a wonderful daughter and she is growing up to be a beautiful young woman inside and out. I love her so much.
