Life has turned topsy-turvy for most of us in the last month, and if you’re anything like us, you’ve experienced every emotion in the book… sometimes all in the same day! There are so many sources out there giving advice and telling you how to feel right now. Family members and youth group leaders and teachers are great (the best!), but sometimes a girl just wants to hear from her camp counselor!
So we polled some of your favorite counselors from last year, and some who are on staff this year, for their best quarantine advice. How do you stay sane while staying inside? What do you turn to when you’re not sure what to do? Read on for all the wisdom - we know it was just what we needed to hear today!
Keep reminding yourself of what is true, even when things are hard! The same God who you grew close to at camp is still there today, and He hasn’t moved. He is faithful. He is good. He loves you more than you can even imagine!
Bring out your camp memories to help encourage you. Re-read those plane letters. Go back through your notes from Bible classes or Morning Assembly devotions. Reach out to your camp friends, or us too! We still love you and are here for you right now.
This too shall pass. God is still working in your life and in the world to make all things new. Before too long we will all be able to be back together again, but for now, just know that we are thinking about you and singing this over you…
Goodnight, my God is watching o’er you. Goodnight, His presence goes before you. Goodnight, and I’ll be praying for you. So goodnight and may God bless you.
