Campanigans 2!

So I have been at camp for 2 full days and move in day. I have to say that it is a little different than I thought it would be and most of that stems from the fact that I sprained my ankle about 15 minutes into the first day of staff training. For real, I was chilling with my camp director at the doctors office for like 2 1/2 hours. The funniest thing is that the place was called "Convenient Care" however the place was the opposite of convenient since Ashley (my camp director) and I sat in the waiting room forever. Anyways, when I came back we got to do other staff training things and I counted like 500 shirts for inventory. At night we had "family time" which is a time for our staff to get together and hang out and get to know each other better. We played catch phrase and like a little league baseball game in California everyone won.

A time that I have been enjoying is the jingling of the keys which whenever keys are shaken we get free stuff and already I have gotten a bracelet and a t-shirt. Today we had various bible study trainings and stuff and then tonight I got to run lines with the drama people since I can't do anything. I have earned the nickname hop-along and I sure hope that doesn't stick.

There are so many people here who I have really connected with and it is so cool how God can take a big group of people called by him and help us to work together as a team. All the people on the team have clicked so well and it's neat to be able to sit and have a spiritual conversation with anyone at any time and it never be awkward.

I guess the biggest thing I have been learning in my devotions and my time with camp is the fact that none of this is about me. The morning I sprained my ankle I had been praying that God make this camp about him and not about me and BAM it happened. I guess you get what you pray for and the fact of the matter is that God has put me right where I am to get me right where he wants me. The past two days it has been such a struggle to sit by and not be able to help with lifting things or helping to move things but the staff has been so helpful to me. Tonight we went to Walmart and I was motoring around on their little motor scooter cart things which was awesome. God is so above and beyond me and this camp experience is going to be all about his will and not mine. I would have never choosen to sprain my ankle and be worthless as far as helping with certain things goes but God has got me right where he wants me to do exactly what he wants me to do. Place no limits on God and He'll place no limits on you.

If yall could just be praying for my ankle and that our team is continuing to prepare for the students that will be coming June 1st. Lastly, pray that as I am preparing for the Bible studies and such that I am being sensitive to God's leaning. I am so glad you're all in my life!

Union Love,
