First week of camp. As far as I can tell. I only made 2 mistakes
1) I was a camper
2) I did too many staff like things
I hate being a stamper, or a calf, or whatever you want to call it.
I'm kind of mellow at the moment. I'm listening to too many sad songs.
I'll give you all a rundown on what happened this past week.
I was thinking of doing a day-by-day thing, but that is way too boring, so I’m just going to do a summary.
When I got to camp I expecting it to be like every other year I’ve ever been a camper. But it wasn't. It was one of the most powerful weeks of my life. I realized some things that I’ve been doing that I never noticed before. I also noticed that my walk with the Lord hasn't been that strong. I think most of this is because of the speaker we had this week. His name was Jeremy. Jeremy was one of the most 'real' speakers I have ever heard. He explained things in ways I had never. And he also gave me some ideas on how to lead the rest of my life.
I met a lot of new people, and had a lot of fun. And that was another really hard thing. This past week I think I made the most friends I have ever made anywhere. It was difficult to leave and say goodbye to some of them. Okay, that doesn't help either; I’m currently listening to I'll Be Missing You - P. Diddy ft. Faith Evans. It sounds really corny, but I’m almost gonna cry.
My cabin this year was the best I have ever had in the 9 years I’ve been at camp. They were all fun and I got along with all of them, and it seemed like they got along with me to. I guess part of it was my cabin leaders; they were the best I’ve ever had. Bob brings fun and life into the cabin, Tim brings music and energy, and Daryl just ties everything together. I couldn't have imagined the cabin without any one of them.
I also met someone really special during the week, we decided to stay really good friends, but I feel a lot better every time I talk to her, or see her.
Anyway, the three people that I met this year that were particularly hard to say bye to were Kayla, Max, and Jillian. The four of us were tight. We would always hang out and tell each other everything. And cry on each other’s shoulders.
A good highlight out of the week was something that happened on the last night. I'm not going t o disclose too much information, but it had to do with a guy’s cabin running around in the field in the middle of the night. Guess for yourself.
Back to the sad stuff...
Testimony campfire. I don't think I have ever seen so many tears being shed, or hugs given.
I feel that this past week was a good note to leave off on. I don't think I’ll ever go back as a camper, but I’ll still enjoy camp being staff.
To sum it all up, the best thing that I think happened this week was meeting Jeremy Sawatzky. He is the best advice giver ever.
I don’t know if any of that made sense…
Anyway, I kina have to go to bed now, I might add more tomorrow. But we'll see. I'm defiantly teary eyed.
Peace Out....
