Community

At Campo Alegria I am forced to live with other people 95 percent of the time. This is new to me! In college I never lived in the dorms. I lived in an apartment with my roommate I knew all my life. When I was in the world of sports I lived alone, so as a non-believer back then I did not have any community in my life nor did I ever think about it. But here I am now, called by the Lord to live in community, to live the right way. Going into this adventure I didn't know how I was going to respond to living with others but this camp environment has brought so many things to light for me. I have learned to be patient, how to be kind, how to put others before myself and how to adjust to different settings I use to think that I could adapt well to anything, but I must confess adapting like this is different than anything back in the states. The Chop Point kids and I are doing devotions each morning on “Authentic Living” and GOD is starting to revel his plan for me more and more each day. I am so thankful for community, for Ridge Church introducing me to community groups and now I am able to share with others just how important community living is! The bible says: Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Philippians 2:3 It seems so easy now that I am developing community here in Nicaragua.
