There Where I Found Him

Camp really does change lives. And I'm so thankful that I will be returning here this weekend to celebrate how He changed my life. Yes, I know, it's not "camp," it's Jesus, but what I'm trying to say is that Jesus definitely uses camps.

I came to Tapawingo thinking it would just be another camp job with lots of fun, a few silly rules, and perhaps, if the campfire burned high enough, a slight ebb of spiritual cynicism. My first memory is of Miss Kim demonstrating with trusty Miss Jen how to catch a bat with a coffee can. I knew from that moment that this was no ordinary camp. This was where I began to understand spiritual discipline. This little island is where I found the love of Christ and the fellowship of the saints. And, as if that weren't enough, this is where I have had some of the most wonderful experiences EVER.

I just don't get why no one wants me to re-enact my fitness fairy skit.
