So I haven't posted on here in a long time, but now that the camp season is coming to a close I'd like to get back into it.
It's an odd thing when something you've known for a long time comes to an end. It's just a strange feeling. Not necessarily sad, but strange. Leaving high school was strange, leaving Cornerstone was strange; and now, leaving camp is strange. Camp is a place that has been a massive part of my life for the past 5 years. It has definitely been the best experience of my life so far. It is where I have met and had fellowship with some of the strongest Christians I know. I've also had so many joyful opportunities to disciple younger people. Spending the extra time to get to know the high school volunteers this year was amazing. I could have coasted through my last summer and just got by with the minimum required of me, but I ended up having an amazing summer because I invested my time in people. I hope that I impacted their lives as much as they impacted mine.
So now I leave on Saturday, with no intent to work here again. The excitement of the unknown awaits me. I am pumped for whatever God has in store for me in the future. This fall I will be busy with 21 credit hours at school, plus a ministry, plus the friends that I have promised to invest time in. I would appreciate prayers for time management, it's going to be crazy. Lord willing I will be graduating with a BS in Biblical Studies next summer. I'm totally filled with joy knowing that I have no idea what I'm going to do after that. College and Camp is what I've known for 5 years. Being done with both of these, I could go anywhere, and that excites me. My plan is to continue serving God with all I have.
It's funny how God changes people. 10 years ago, if you told me that I should go serve God in a remote village in South America, I would have said you were crazy. Now, I'd be down with it.
Random thought of the day: Some of the most important things that I've learned in life have been taught to me by those that I was placed in authority over. Are you willing to learn from those under you? Because, maybe in reality, they are above you.

I am so pumped to see where God takes you next. Seriously, i count it a blessing to be your friend and to serve you and am so pumped to be able to do that outside of the camp walls! God is going to do AMAZING things through you and he already has. As far the SMT program you were such a help and i appreciate a lot (sorry if i never said that to you this summer)!
N-Sto!!! I am excited that your excited about trusting God to do whatever He wants with your life.
Its for real scary though. Proves you have trust in Him and courage...
Also as for that last part about learning from those under you, I feel I have learned from campers this summer in a way I have never learned before and it was amazing.
