Week 1

Sunday, June 14th- Thursday, June 18th-

Oh my wow. What a fantastic experience. God is moving through this team in miraculous ways, and its pretty fantastic. The discussions we have, and the way these people (especially the guys) open up is really great. We had four days of training last week, where pretty much we practiced for twelve hours straight.

This was specifically harder for me. I had to learn the ins and outs, ups and downs of everything sound and video. I had to construct PowerPoint’s, learn what cord goes where, and what button, or knob does what. Not to mention building a relationship with this group I learned I was going to be with two weeks ago. I don’t regret doing this one bit, and I know this is God wants me to do.

If you know me at all, you know I’m not a deep thinker, or really a deep anything. The only thing deep I do is build relationships, but this group is so deep in their spiritual lives, and in their though process’, its great, and I think this is something I need to learn to do. I need to think deeply about things that are most dear to me, like my God. What are my beliefs? What do I want to stand for, and what does God want me to stand for?

I know this summer is going to be so rewarding in so many levels. Even two of these guys aren’t coming back next year, I’m going to build friendships that are going to be with me forever, not just with the WellSpring group, but with the counselors I knew from Spring Arbor. All that being said I am SO excited to continue doing this WellSpring thing for summers to come, and see these kids I get to counsel grow up to become amazing Christ followers. These kids are fantastic.
