I found out the other day that one of my good friends, Jenna, won't be coming back to camp this summer. I totally stand behind her in her decision, because I think it's all too common that people come to camp just to be with their friends and hang out in the sun instead of focusing on what we're really there for--the kids. Jenna just felt like Living Waters wasn't where God was leading her this summer, and she was offered another job that she feels much more at peace about.
But while I'm glad she's listening to the Lord instead of ignoring His leading, it disappoints me a lot that she won't be there. She and I are very close, we have shared a cabin since my first year, and last summer she was my co-counselor. We shared clothes and half of the time, a bed if it was cold, and a lot of people thought we were sisters.
It now puts me in a little dilemma about a co-counselor this summer though, because with my being a lifeguard, I don't have time during the day to spend with my campers. I'm not too hot on the idea of getting a random co, because in so many ways that could make or break the summer, not only for me, but for the cabin atmosphere, and in that way, the campers.
I mean, I know that this is where the Lord wants me for the summer, so I have no qualms that He'll teach me things, and that things will work out for the best. It does worry me a little though about the co-counselor situation.
So, I'm currently auditioning for a good co, applications can be obtained from me. :)
