Sorry that I been bad about blogging and have not done so in a month. Looking back on my summer I cannot imagine better place or a better group of people to experience God with. My fellow staff were incredible, and God used them and grew them in miraculous ways this summer. It was awesome to be a part of that.
Camp week 3 went well, but feels like a blur at this point. I do remember the encouragement I got from a camper who was a writer. I have been writing my prayers all summer in an effort to grow my prayer life and connect with God, and she did the same. It was cool to have her share that with us and encourage us on the way. Hearing about where our campers saw God during this week was truly awesome, and the ways in which he made himself evident to them was incredible.
Camp week 4 was a challenging yet great. We had alot of unfortunate circumstances arise throughout the week, but it was incredible how God showed up in those moments and provided comfort. Whether it was an issue in camp, or back at home, my staff rose to the occasion and God provided all of us with strength that comes only from him.
On the very last day after we had finished up everything as a staff, we worshiped together. It was one of the coolest experiences I have ever been a part of. The growth and the love of the Lord was so evident. Spending an entire summer with these people has been an incredible blessing. Together we worked for over 100 families in Rutherford, Burke, and McDowell counties, which is a testament to God. Serving on CCC staff for a 3rd summer was something I will never forget. God began preparing me for my position as a Camp Director long before I ever thought about doing it, and I thank him for that.
Our worships throughout the summer really spoke to myself and the staff. The worship that really spoke to me was our Thursday night worship when we let go of our futures. As I am now back at school beginning my senior year with my entire life before me, I have been challenged to really and truly let go, and let God have my future.
