At this point, I'm feeling very mixed emotions about heading to camp. I am so excited to be in the community that Triple R has-with returning friends and the new friends I will make, I am sure to have a lot of fun with great people! The problem is that I am scared. It definitely will be exhausting and I know that I will be drained physically, emotionally, and spiritually after a few weeks, but I will be there ALL summer. I know once I get into the routine of things it will become easier, but at the same time, I don't want to get into a routine and forget real growth, especially in my relationship with God. I'm also scared about being in a leadership position, leading 12 girls each night in a Bible study-now THAT scares me. But, I don't want to be scared. I know that God is right there and that He will give me the words to speak. Each week will be different as 12 new girls are in my cabin and I am nervously excited to share and invest in their lives. Please be praying for me this summer-that I will go to God to find rest, I will trust Him in my fears, and I will grow closer to Him rather than getting stuck in a routine.
Isaiah 41:10
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
2 Timothy 1:7
"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline."
