Ah Wintertainment. That time of year when masses of teens flood Camp Forest Springs after Christmas to play in the snow, have fun, learn about God and be challenged. The excuse I used last year to spend a week hanging out at Camp with friends and getting to do ministry in a 24 hour capacity for a week as a counselor. It was also the place that set into motion a cascade of events starting with the fateful animal ball game between the campers and the staff (which the staff one for the first time in several years!) that ended with the dislocation of my shoulder and ultimately dropping out of my interim class so I could go home and have shoulder surgery so I would be ready to trip lead in the summer.
So I wasn't planning on working Wintertainment again. Partially because I thought they'd have plenty of counselors and didn't want to work any of the other jobs (I'm not much of a snowboarder/skier...) So I didn't turn in the sheet of paper saying I wanted to work at the end of the summer and left that up to God. I was just telling someone the other day, "Ya know if Larry e-mails me and says something to the effect of 'Oh can you counsel for wintertainment' I'd view that as a sign...."
What happened today?!?!? I got a facebook message from Larry saying "We need more counselors for Wintertainment. Would you be interested?" Now before leaping into a "YES!" I need to take some time to think this through and pray. God what would you have me do? Reasons I wanted to stay home (and visit my friends working there for a day or two): This is really the last big break I could potentially have before I move who knows where (potentially the other side of the US) and one of the last times I get lots of time to spend with my family.... Which in my opinion isn't merely a selfish desire but a godly one. So that is my dilemma. Maybe God has something special planned for me at Camp Forest Springs over Christmas break....
