It's our last official "camp night" here for the summer. I'm working in the office with Laurin, Claire, and Alexis and Kendyll and Ambrose are just chillin' with us. As I sit here listening to the sound of my music playing and fingers quickly typing away plans for family camp I can't believe how fast this summer has gone by. There have been days when it seemed like it was just creeping along, but honestly, it's been a pretty fast summer for me. God has brought so many precious people into my life--children who have captured my heart and taught me more than I taught them, counselors who have been my best friends and encouraged me, and staff members who have stirred me toward a deeper relationship with Jesus and loved me like their own daughter. It's a bittersweet feeling knowing that in 2 days I'll be back at home, but away from this spirit-filled place and precious people! I'm honestly confused as to how I'm supposed to feel. My heart is eager to get back to school and share what I have learned with others and love them with the love of Jesus, but these people have become like family this summer. How am I supposed to leave here and go back to life without this constant Christian community and people who are focused on Jesus and striving to know Him more? This has been a regular struggle for my heart to undestand and be content with where Jesus has me, but my prayer as we finish our final day tomorrow is that God will give me grace as I transition from this place to the next. I am excited, sad, thankful, and eager all at the same time! More thoughts to come later....
