Camp Part 1

Ok so a lot has happened since I last posted. First I am not teaching at all what I planned to teach. I was made the head life guard with my friend Chelsea. This camp is amazing and has a lot of potential. The main reason that I chose to come to this camp was to focus the camp more on Christ than it seemed to be last summer. That is totally happening. I am seeing God working in this aspect every day. Also God is giving me the chance at leadership in many aspects of Christian life that this camp is now striving to incorporate into its program. AWESOME. Lonehollow definitely has its eyes on Christ right now. Anywho so I have grown and learned a lot about myself too. I have almost left this camp three times because I felt so spiritually dead. Not so much now because of the change in focus from the last week. Christ is no longer a tag line here. I have not been to church in the formal sense of the word since I have been here and I have had to learn to feed myself spiritually. It has not been easy but I have come out of it stronger.

I have seen this last few weeks how my schooling has prepared me for this summer and its application to the real world. Also I have defined and refined my idea of the ideal leader, the main characteristic is servitude which encompasses humility, love, commitment, and pride. After I had figured this out was when God saw it fit to put more leadership responsibilities on me. I have done my best to serve but it doesn't feel like enough. I have learned patience and tact also, though these are still things that I am working on but I am getting better.

Also I see how I have been prepared so much for this camp from last summer. You could not keep me away from Lone Star last summer and this summer it has almost been the exact opposite. However the many things I learned, songs, bible studies, fellowship, stewardship, and so on has allowed me to bring some of those things here and incorporate them here at Lonehollow. Chelsea and I were talking the other week and about my struggles and how we think that God is preparing me for a hard internship. I hope that I have learned enough to be able to rely on Him fully once things feel impossible.
