It was another great day here at sweet Surf City. Yesterday
we started out our day with a friendly competition of students versus leaders.
I say friendly very lightly because
I’ve already been referred to as “old” a dozen times here at camp and so I was
happy to finally put those comments to the test. We were challenged to games
like dodge ball, water balloon fights, gaga ball and even an American
Gladiators favorite, Power Ball! It’s pretty much a game of doing whatever it
takes to slam-dunk a ball past defenders for points. This ended up being my favorite activity of the day because
although we were severely out numbered, out of shape and slow…the leaders
DESTROYED the students. The smell of victory is so sweet.
We spent the afternoon in the sun at the waterfront taking
turns on the tubes! Tubing is almost always a camp favorite of the
students…except for those who lose their bottoms…which definitely happened
yesterday.
Last night, our speaker Wayne continued talking about God
using the right people at the right time and shared the story of Joseph. Wayne
explained to us that even though Joseph endured some incredible hardships in
his life…God had a plan for him and used his experiences to ultimately do
amazing things. Joseph had no clue what God was going to do with his life and
had plenty of reasons to be angry with the cards he was dealt…but instead he
remained faithful and trusted God and because of that was able to make an
impact in the world around him. We can learn a lot from Joseph. Our life’s
journey will be difficult…we will experience pain just like Joseph, but God is
faithful and will help us to be the right people at the right time and if we
remain faithful He too will do amazing things in and through our lives. What a
great message of hope.
That’s all I’ve got for now. Check back tomorrow to here
more!
