I just had myself an extremely encouraging evening with two very good friends.
I went round to the famous Rouse House, where Nick lives, and Yoie came over and cooked us dinner. Yoie and Nick are directing the primary camp in January at Kedon, and I’ve jumped on board as the program director. It’s very exciting, because I love those two and the three of us directing the camp, whilst slightly intimidating, is gonna be super.
It was amusing to sit back and watch two natural roles come out almost instantly - Nick was the chairperson and had an agenda and items written down, and was very good at keeping the meeting moving. And Yoie is quite administrative and was taking minutes down. We laughed about that later :)
We shared so many ideas of how the camp could work, ideas for themes and outings, and more importantly, leaders, camp parents and study leaders. In the end, it was all so positive and the three of us are confident. It’s a good feeling. I guess the intimidation starts to surface when you look at the three of us running it - Nick’s the oldest at 24. But that’s such a minor point, I decided. Because we’re deadset on finding some house parents that are wise Christians who may be able to serve as mentors for us during the week. And we’re also hoping to head off to Melinda and Julius’ place in the next few weeks to seek some wisdom from them.
And the bottom line is that we are serving a great God - the camp is in His hands. And there’s none better for it to be in!
We chatted about Blackstump too… it was cool to realise that it’s only 2 weeks away! :D I managed to convince Nick to come to stump so that the three of us can have another mini-Kedron meeting in the car on the way down on Friday arvo. I’m very much looking forward to that weekend - it will be sweet indeed.
In randomness, I joined the group “People who don’t sleep enough because they stay up late for no reason” on facebook this evening.
