So today i spent the day at camp. I love it there so much ! And today i can honestly say i miss spending every summer there. Camp has been my life. i grew up there. My whole family has always been at elkhorn. So while i was at camp i realized that three of my past youth ministers were all there too. It was so great to see Ed and Josh and Tony !! Today makes me thank God so much for all of the people he has put into my life ! I would never be where i am today if it wasnt for so many people. Today while i was belaying , the famous Dennis Arnold, came over to me and was talking to this little girl and he gave her a high five. instanly i looked at the girl and saw myself. I pictured that was me when i was 8 giving dennis a high five. I love dennis . he is so funny and was such a good friend of my grandpa and everytime i see him i think of my grandpa. Also while on the high ropes coarse dennis came up to me and gave me a huge hug and kissed me on the head and told me he missed me and loved me. It was so great. I really felt like i got a hug from my grandpa one more time !! Every time i see dennis i remind him that he promised me that he would dance with me on my wedding day and everytime he says of course i will.
So then i really didnt want to leave camp. i just wanted to stay and hang out with everyone but i knew that i had to come home. and on my way home i started to thinking about all the people God has placed in my life at just the right time to knock me down when i needed it and pick me up when i felt like there was nothing worth it anymore. Even some of the small things that some people still probably dont realize that helped me along the way. THANKS !
I really hope one day i will be able to help someone like all of the people in my life have helped me !
