It has been a fantastic first week
at camp. Session 1A is well under way here at camp, and we have a really good
group of campers this session. This Summer I am in the Choctaw Tribe, which is
the 12-13 year olds and the largest tribe in camp with 80 kids. This first week
has been fun, especially since I am in a new tribe this summer, but it’s also
been difficult. There have been some really difficult conversations with
campers this session in my cabin. I ask that you pray for one camper in
particular. He is dealing with some pretty difficult stuff. For me it’s been
emotionally, spiritually, and mentally draining. It has also been a reminder
though that the work that God calls us to will be difficult at times. It is even
more important that when we are doing God’s work that we lean on him and seek
guidance from him when things get difficult. We can do nothing on our own. We
can only do things through the guidance and direction of Christ.
This first week has also been a powerful
reminder of why I am here this summer.
It has qualified the calling that God has placed in my life to be here.
There is so much work to be done here. The doubts and concerns that I had
before coming to camp this summer are slowly beginning to disappear. I can
confidently say this is where God has called me. I hope that I will be here
next summer, but I know that through all I have learned it is taken one step at
a time.
