But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed...
...Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unsee. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:7-9; 16-18
Each day at camp brings a new challenge spiritually and emotionally to each and every one of the horse camp staff. It is only by God's grace that we are able to make it to the next day.

I was talking to a kid at church who was about to leave for a summer at camp. He was nervous! I told him it was like spiritual book camp -- nothing more challenging, but the strength you have at the end is well worth it. The testing of your faith develops perseverance! (James 1:3). Keep up the good work.
