A conversation yesterday came to a halt with the question, “So, how long have you been at Arrowhead?” I paused for a moment, somewhat resembling a husband who was randomly asked how many years he had been married with his wife standing next to him. This was of course, a much less stressful question.
My response was not what my friend was expecting. “Wait, what’s today’s date!”, I exclaimed. “Oh, man! Yesterday was the 14th. Yesterday was 10 years!”
December 14th, 2001 was the day I pulled into camp with a truck and trailer full of my belongings… mostly junk I accumulated during High School. But, I also had a few luxury items, gently used furniture that was given to me by family members. My cousin and I unloaded everything in less than an hour (yeah, it wasn’t much) and I was officially settled in to my new home, new job, new ministry, new life.
10 years! It feels like I just got here… aside from almost a dozen unforgettable summer camps, hundreds of staff and volunteers, a multitude of guest groups, and big changes around camp that have culminated over the past decade.
I have greatly enjoyed the past 10 years. I feel blessed beyond what I deserve. God is doing great things and I am excited to see what He does over the next 10 years.
