Week 3 - Drew

​Going into the summer I believed that I was more than equipped to take on the task before me. I thought “How hard could being a counselor be? I’m just watching a handful of guys in the wilderness; and it’s not like they are going to run away. WHERE would they go?!” 3 weeks, and many experiences later I realized that my expectations were shaky at best. I have learned so much about leadership, faithfulness, and trust this summer. God is truly amazing in His grace, and looking back, my only hope is that the campers learned half as much as I did. God grew me more than I could have imagined, and I know that He used me for good despite my blindness and pride. I am so thankful that I got to work with my campers, Karson, Zack, Ethan, Nathanael, Ford, and my co-counselor Roland. We had fun times, and we had frustrating times, but throughout it all, we grew. I had a great time! And I would not have missed it for the world.
