If you know me at all, you know that I am a very headstrong person, and I am extremely set in my ways.
Well, this summer has thrown me a curveball.
If you didn't know, these past ten summers my parents have volunteered their entire summers to serve the Lord at Living Waters Bible Conference. (Five summers ago, I began working there as well.) Living Waters has since become my home. It's in the family as my grandfather has been on the board for 43 years, and my Uncle Mark speaks each summer, along with extended family doing music occasionally. To put it into smaller terms, camp is pretty much my life, and I love it.
This past year has been quite hard on us, and so my twin brother has firmly set down his foot and refused to LW with us this summer. So...mom is most likely to stay behind in Fort, with my father and grandparents coming weekends and occasional days. To be frank, I hate this. So many nights I have cried out to God wondering why he seems to be moving my family away from the place and people I cherish most dearly. I am, of course, working the full summer like I normally do, but I just can't face the differences that will be so evident. My family is known for working at camp...and I feel almost embarrassed that this is happening to us.
Really this post is a call to prayer. Could you pray for me, as well as my family in the coming months? I still cannot process the thought of us going in a different direction. I know I need to expand my horizons, but camp is where my heart is 24/7. So I'm just really struggling with this. I thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart.
