GBC Diaries 2011: Entry 1

Wednesday, July 20, 2011   7:26a.m.

Why hello there! I have decided (about two seconds ago) to keep a Grace Bible Camp journal! (no need for applause, please). I thought it would be a pretty neat idea! :) I wish I had started this last year...
Anyway, this is my second year of working as a JC at GBC! Last year, I was in Sarah's Tent. This year, I'm in Eshter's Palace, which is the oldest cabin. :) It's quite different from the last age group (3rd grade). But I like it a lot...in fact, I might prefer this age. I'm not sure yet. :) All I know is: with the third grade girls, I didn't have them talking about liking a JC guy, asking for *ahem* "feminine products", or having to have a "powow" with the Sr. Counselor because of attitudes and arguments between one another. But...I kind of enjoy this stuff, to an extent. I know, I know...I'm an odd human being...
Anywho, tonight is when I will be doing my devotional in my cabin. I'm nervous, but honestly, I'm very excited, too! :) I asked God to give me the age group that would get the most of my devo, and just the cabin he wanted me in. So, I am very confident that this is exactly where He wanted me, and I can't wait to see what transpires within the next days of camp this week.
My SC [Senior Counselor] this year is Michelle. She is SO awesome! She's a lot of fun, and she does a great job with devos, and iwth keeping the girls in line. :) I also lover her cabin decorations, which consist of giant flip flops and giant post-it notes! :)
I really like the girls in my cabin, as well. :) Their names are: Lilli, Amber, Grace, Naty, Denae, Haley, Natalie, Zoey, and Leah. Ihope that maybe I can keep in touch with some of them after camp.
This week, the chapel leaders are Mr. Tony and Miss Sue! *cheers* :D And the theme for this week's chapel is The Ten Commandments :) I remember it from when I was a camper. :) My favorite chapel theme, though, remains to be The Fruit of the Spirit. :)
My activity periods (that I'm helping with) this week are Nature, Leather Crafts, and then instead of a 4th period activity, I have extra chores. I actually really like that. I had "work period" last year, too, and I enjoyed it because I got to know the other JC really well. :) I hope that happens again this year.
Well, this is getting to be a bit long, so I will cease to move my pen across this page. Adios!
