Becca at Horse Camp

Becca was as Horse Camp all week. This was the only week of the summer where she was early to bed, early to rise.

While many of the other girls at camp had dreams of being equestrians, Becca just loved to spend time with her horse named Worthy. The equestrians brought crops to help develop their riding skills. Becca told us she didn't want one because she didn't like the idea of hitting a horse.

Jackie was there on the final day which included a party and activities like a slippy slide to cool off after the hot day. She looked around for Becca at the party and couldn't find her.

You might guess that she was found spending some more time with Worthy...

Becca reminds me of Mary not Martha in general ( an odd thing for an Eby ). Jackie's story about Worthy reinforces that.

I'm also reminded of the time that Jesus was "missing" and Joseph and Mary couldn't find him while they were traveling. They had to go back to the synagogue and drag him away from being about His Father's business. I imagine that Jesus was about Becca's age at that time.

Jesus grew in wisdom, in stature, and in favor of the eyes of God and the eyes of men. So is Becca.
