If You Get Lost, You Can Always Be Found.

Portage Lake.

It's been a perfect summer, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

Have you ever felt like you were just made to do something? That's how I feel about this place. It's been a part of my life since I was really young. Every time I come back, I feel like I'm home. I belong here. I feel content here. I feel like I have a purpose here; like I matter and what I'm doing here is making a difference. This is where God wants me to be.

It's breaking my heart that it's almost over-- Nine more days of summer camp, and then I'm sticking around for a few extra days to help out after most of the staff leaves. At the same time, part of me feels like I'm ready for some rest.

We're all getting so sentimental... it's such a strange mix of emotions.
I just want this school year to go by quickly so I can be back here again.

Goodness, I just want to tell so many stories but I wouldn't know where to begin.

One of the things that I do here is sing with the worship band. We often play some random songs just for fun, and my favorite one to sing is "Home" by Phillip Phillips. I think that perfectly fits the feeling of this place for me. Give it a listen if you've got the time...

I'm gonna make this place your home.
