Tomorrow I'm off on another trip. And I'm pretty excited for this one. Know Sweat in Denver, Colorado. I get the opportunity to help lead a service project for our group, and I'll get the chance to get to know our teens a little better. I'm pretty excited about it. We have some great teens going on this trip that I'm sure I'll enjoy getting to know more.
My 3 weeks of camp were awesome. I only had good groups. One of the girls in my cabin (she didn't come with a sponsor, so I was her sponsor) had to go home sick from Junior Week. And I may have had some homesick girls. But those were the only problems. The girls were all good about listening to me, and there's something about a little girl just coming up to you and holding your hand that makes the heart happy. It's a pretty neat experience because all these girls think I'm one of the coolest people in the world. I don't doubt that they'll get over that, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts :-)
I also realized what an amazing responsibility God has given us. The only way that these kids are going to grow up knowing God and His ways are if we, as Christians, teach them. The world isn't going to teach them. In fact, the world will do its best to lead them away. God gave us the responsibility to make sure they grow up knowing Him. What an amazing responsibility. That He would trust us with that is almost unbelievable to me. We mess up so much, and yet we get to be the example for younger generations. Crazy. But as long as we try, God will work it out. Our God is powerful enough to fix any mistakes we might make. He gives us this responsibility because He wants to give us a chance to serve Him. And I think it's pretty neat.
