... that I should be at camp. If this summer were like any of the ones since I began working at camp about 6 years ago, I would have been on Mt. Lassen in Northern California since at least Saturday. I would be helping get everything set up and in place for camp to start - like setting up the fort, getting powerpoints ready for junior camp meetings, and whatever else I was needed for. Right now I would maybe be sitting outside, probably catching up with one of my friends that I only get to see during the two weeks of camp, soaking in every bit of beauty that is camp, and reveling in the glory of God that is displayed in all the stars you can see from up at camp.
Instead, I am keeping tabs on pictures, facebook status, and messages from those that are up at camp, setting up, preparing, and praying hard for the hundreds of kids that will step foot on camp tomorrow afternoon. As hard as it is for me not to be there, I know that God will do incredible things, with or without me, and that He is going to use the faithful servants that are there this week. Really, I sound so selfish, almost as if camp was all about me. God didn't need me. God still doesn't need me. Kids will get saved and all of heaven will rejoice (and so will I) whether I am there or not.
Doesn't mean I don't still miss it though ...
