God's Gifts

I just had one of the best weeks of my life. Seriously.

So, I just finished my one and only week EVER as a COUNSELOR at Camp of the Hills. It was amazing. I had never been able to be a counselor because I was needed in other areas at camp. I was a staff assistant for the summer of 05 and the "nurse" for the first half of last summer. I absolutely love every moment I am out at camp, no matter what I am doing. I can't explain it. It's not like any other place on earth. You have to experience it for yourself.

For a long time I was upset because I thought I would never get the chance to be out at Camp again, and I missed out on a really amazing thing. I gained peace, through Christ, about it and knew that I was used to do His will. Thinking about that made it all okay (as it always does.) Then I found out about the shortage of counselors this summer and literally jumped at the chance to be out here. Unfortunately, I was only able to be out here for one week because of a HUGE miscommunication about certification and stuff. So, here I am.
When I was on my way out here, I thought about what this week would bring. I always knew that God kept me from being a counselor in the past for a reason. I wasn't sure if the reason was because I was needed somewhere else or if I just wasn't cut out to be a counselor and He was protecting me from it.
I was extremely nervous Sunday and Monday because I wasn't sure what God was going to tell me this week. Either this week was a Gift from Him or it was a Lesson that He knows what He is doing.

It was both.

I am praising God for the amazing Gift that was being a Counselor at Camp of the Hills. Really, you don't know what it's like until you have been so close and not really getting there.

One week is enough. I am satisfied. I would LOVE to be out here for a whole summer, but I can't. I am at peace and I am blessed.
Praise God!
