Last Junior High Camp

My loyal blog readers,

I have been tremendously blessed this week to have a week out of counselling. The assistant crew chief of maintenance really felt it on her heart to counsel a week at camp and so the maintenance team needed someone that could step into her role as a leader for the team. They picked me and I am so humbled to be used this way. I got my keys of authority yesterday and have since relearned a ton of stuff about cleaning bathrooms and whatnot. The maintenance crew this week is really good and I am excited to work with them. I went really hard yesterday cleaning all sorts of things when I really need to take it easier a bit. There is so much more down time doing this job and I am pumped to get a little bit more sleep and rest. I am still getting over a cold so if you could pray that it would go away, that would be great.

Right now I am really struggling with the future. I have placed it in God’s hands, well maybe not fully if I am holding onto some worry, but for the most part I am trusting God. I just don’t know what to do. There is a bit of camp wrap up stuff I could help out with for a couple weeks, or I could move to the lower mainland and spend the last 4 months of Leia’s singleness with her:) I really miss her and would love to hang out a bit before our family dynamic changes. So if you could also pray for me and just being peaceful about what God is going to do in me and that He will give me a path to follow to take action in the next couple of days.

This last week was pretty good. I really felt closer to the girls by the end of the week, they were hugging me and wanting to hang out a bit. One girl I really got close to and gave her a Bible by the end of the week because she really wanted to read some Bible stories and the New Testament Gideon ones they get at camp just aren’t enough. She was such a blessing in my cabin amongst girls that thought that they were too good for me and the camp. She asked a ton of questions and said that what the speaker said was more stuff than she had thought about before.

Other than that, not much is new. No really cool stories from this past week and not too much to report on in the future week. The week after is juniors again and then youth camp. I am excited to not have to do another junior high camp and am looking forward to the curiosity and energy of the juniors. Many of the junior counsellors this summer or CIT are coming to youth camp as campers, so that should be interesting and fun. They will be fun to hang out with and we won’t have to do much as leaders other than pour into them spiritually and be there as support. It has been a good summer where God has truly been at work.

Later days!
