Thanks

So today marks the end of my “working” at camp. I will still be here another week, but I’ll be here as a camper. As I look back (well, technically, think back) over the summer, I can’t help but be amazed. God has been doing incredible things in my life. My financial support this summer has been incredibly humbling. I’m still amazed at how much I’ve received, and I pray that God would bless those people who God has enabled to financially support me. I also appreciate all your prayers, more than you could know. I know that some people can’t financially support me, but they’ve still supported me in greater ways be simply praying for me.
I’m happy because I’m looking forward to coming back home and seeing my family and friends. But I’m also sad to be leaving Hickory Cove Bible Camp. I absolutely love it here. Not only do I love the nature beauty of the camp, but also the people. The full-time  staff here at camp is incredible. Whether they know it or not, Josh and Luke have made a huge impact in my life and have been amazing mentor’s. All the full-time staff here–Keith, Wolf, Sylvia, Cecile, John, etc are awesome as well–they’ve sacrificed their precious time and money to just to hang out with me. I’m pretty much forever grateful.

All the summer staff has been awesome. I’ve developed great friendships in a short amount of time. I’ve seen people’s good sides, and I’ve seen their bad. They’ve made me angry. They’ve made me laugh. They’ve made me depressed. They’ve made me happy. But in the end, I wouldn’t trade their friendships for anything in this world.

One thing I can assure of is this: With all my heart and soul, I want to come back to this camp next summer. And to be honest, I’ve already begun praying and thinking about maybe coming on full-time at this camp in a few years. That would be amazingly awesome!

To sum it all up, this summer has been the most amazing summer of my life. I’m definitely closer to God than I was at the beginning of summer, and everything is going great. God is awesome when you are doing His will. There’s not a better feeling in the world.

And to close this entry, once again, I say thanks. For everything.
