Camp Scholarships

I was blown away this weekend by the generosity of an attender at Hope Fellowship.  We have been asking for Camp Scholarships the last several weeks because we have about 10-15 kids who have a true need.  
Prior to yesterday, we had Scholarships for about 9 of the kids, and we were not really sure how we were going to decide who would get the scholarships.  (Not really something that I even wanted to think about).  That was prior to yesterday though.  Around 10:30 I got the first of a series of emails from an individual who wanted to know how many kids needed scholarships still.
I told her and she wanted to know how long someone would be at the church.  I told her and she promised to get there as soon as she could.
I waited around the church for about 10 minutes after everyone left and she arrived right when she said she would.
I walked out to the car to greet her and she handed me a check.  I said thank you politely and then looked down at the check to make sure it had Scholarships written on it. (which it did).  It was at that point that I was blown away.  She had written the check for not just one scholarship, but for 5.  All I could say was Thank You so much. 
She didn't realize it, or maybe she did, but she was an answer to prayer (both mine and a group of kids who really want/need to be at camp).
God is already orchestrating an awesome camp.
