camp

Hello HelloRight now I am on my 45 minute break from my kids. For those of you who don't know i am currently counselling at Big River Bible Camp. Me and my co leader have 5 girls. They are all so beautiful. And out of 5, only 1 of them have looked at a bible before.I am one of the older staff and I am only 20, so I am kinda forced more into leadership and I am there really to just encourage and be an example. Being an example is actaully quite hard, and God has really been challenging me with loving people. We have had some major love issues at camp here, and its a hard camp i'm not gonna lie. Its a native kids camp, and the stats say that 80% of kids are abused...we rarely see the 20%. So these kids are just crying out for love. And we can say that we love them all that we want, but its our actions that speak. These kids don't believe that we could possibly love them, so they try to make us mad, they want to prove that we don't love them, they try to push our limits.I was really challenged at how I respond to this...How do you respond out of love?
And God has just really been teaching me that. And loving isn't easy. Especially with in the staff also. But its someone that if we are a believe of Jesus Christ we are called to do!
So I challenge you to love someone today. Give a hug, a word of encouragement. Befriend someone who its hard to. Be the difference. Be the light. Be.
