This new years I got to spend at one of the most special places on earth, the swamp. I decided to volunteer as a worker with two of my best friends, kalyn and bailey. delaney also came with us but she was a counselor. it was so wonderful to get away from the craziness of life and be still in such a beautiful place. waking up every morning and getting to go and have my quiet time and see so many other people doing the same thing was so cool. It has been a while since I've gotten to spend an extended period of time with so many like-minded people. People who wanted to please God and dedicate this year to him. However, I can't pretend that this adventure was all perfect. Some of our tasks consisted of everything from mopping the bathroom floors at 2 in the morning on new years eve (or day I guess?) to being on dish duty after every meal. It certainly taught me a lot about humility that's for sure.
they had a fancy dinner for new years and these are pictures of me and my best friends in the entire world.
the title to this blog is the lyrics to one of my favorite worship songs of all time that I learned at camp which is so fitting because in so many ways there is no place I would rather be than at the swamp.
