Well I have finally returned home!! And yes I am alive! I was in Cabin One with the other counselor Kate. We had 13 very energetic Jesus loving 8-11 year olds. We had one 8 year old and the oldest was supposed to be in cabin 2 but they had no more room. But I loved each and every one of them. The first day I met them they kept following me around, even when I had to go to the bathroom. They still followed me throughout the week and I had many little shadows all around me! I never expected that! This little girl named Nicole was extremely attached to me. She was a tiny little thing too- she was forty six pounds and was adorable. All the girls in my cabin always asked to sit by my and wanted me to sit with them at camp fire. They amazed me. And when I got home I didn't know what to do with myself, I had so much free time and it was weird to sleep in a really quiet room, no whispers and giggles from under the covers or a good night "I love you Bee!" from one of my girls. I never thought I would have missed it so much!
It was then I realized, Maybe I planted some awesome seeds in those kids' hearts. Some of those girls I will never see again, some I will see year after year. But all I can hope is that they find Jesus in their hearts and will live by the awesome example that we have received.
More on Camp later- I am exhausted and we are preparing for our churches annual VBS!
Peace and Love Guide you in all you do.
