So, the time has finally come. The time when I begin to take
a few moments every once in a while and begin putting my reflection of an
unforgettable summer into words. “Easier said than done” would be the
understatement of the century for my heart and my head right now. To begin, and
eventually end, this series of blogs…there is absolutely NO WAY that God is not
Holy, living and present throughout my life. His presence was overflowing this
summer. I say this because there is literally SO much to be said about this
summer, but don’t worry…I’ll be as condensed as possible. I praise God everyday
for the opportunities He has given me to live out the passions He has placed on
my heart: a deep desire for service and a genuine love for all people. Amen
If someone was to tell me almost a year ago that I would
reapply to be a Returning Staffer, get hired as such, and then in March be
asked to be a Center Director, I would have laughed in their face. Well…a year
later I can successfully and humbly say that each of those events happened, and
I could not have asked for it any other way. I have been praying for a while
that God continues to give me opportunities that would require my devotion,
patience and full trust in Him, but I had no idea that this was what it was
going to look like. I thought I had another year to grow and learn on how to
become a stronger staffer. Oh no. I had to be the one “in charge” this summer.
But as I had seen through different instances in my life, His plan always works
out and is sweeter than anything I could come up with on my own. The middle of
May rolled around, and I found myself Home…on the Porch in Jonesville, VA with
119 friends about to start the same journey in the mountains.
