1995

tomorrow all of the summer staff arrive. i remember the feelings i had when i walked onto the recreation field back in 1995. as a young 21 year old, i was unsure of everything and excited for my summer at camp. everyone seemed to express their arrival differently. some of the staff were returning and reuniting with warm hellos and hugs. i felt alone. i remember writing in my journal that i really wanted god to reveal why i was at camp, because i felt out of place. it was when i met my first cabin of campers that i knew why. i was here to love. tomorrow when the staff gather on the recreation field and orientation begins, i know why i am at camp. i am here to love. 1995-2011, god's purpose has not changed. some will feel the same way i did, but i will be there for them. they will meet the campers in a week and know why god has brought them here. they will love well and they will grow. we will all grow to love more. tomorrow.
