where I've learned to live

"You're meant to do this," he said. "I really enjoy watching you."

Being at camp reminds me of what I'm created to do: 

lead songs

teach people

inspire them to explore

foster creativity

ask them why

make them think

challenge them

empower them

love them.

Camp is where I've learned to live. 

to work with others

to be in community 

to lead

to build up

to let go

to back off

to step up

to listen

to be available

to be outside

to be bold

to try new things

to get uncomfortable

to be filled to overflowing

to be patient

to wonder

to question

to transition

to struggle

to love

to walk in the dark

and to let my light shine.
