On Camp Bethel's summer brochure, there is a quote by a former staff member. "I have realized a greater capacity for caring." I completely agree that I have realized a great capacity for caring by working at camp for the last two weeks. My "normal" life apart from camp is spent around children, but at camp I am entertaining, protecting, loving, guiding, watching, and leading a group of 10 children non-stop for an entire week. This has opened my heart (and at times stretched my heart) to care more and more for each individual child. Each child has different needs, different personalities, and different wants... and it is so neat to see how my co-counselors and I meet each child's needs over the week.
It is so cool how God uses the Body of Christ to help everyone grow... and usually at the same time. Just an example, my co-counselor this week, Jordan Luther, kept telling me how much he appreciated me. When I kept telling him how much I was learning from him and how awesome he was doing. How cool that we each benefited from each others company all week, working in such a tightly knit community. God is really using Camp Bethel to change so many people's lives. =)
