Our spring staff team was super close and each of us had completely adjusted to each others work styles, and serving habits. But as soon as the summer staff arrived we all needed to adjust. Re-establish boundaries, work habits, social habits, and even our own relationships with one another. But in all honesty, it's for the better. Who are we to not welcome, share, and invite others into our pre-existing relationships and work environments because it, "isn't comfortable" for us. We are called as a community of believers in Christ to treat each other in brotherly and sisterly love. Not to scorn, exclude, or put down, but be inclusive, exhort, and love one another just as Christ loved us.
Even though at times it is hard to jump out of the so-called "spring staff bubble," I love the fact that now we can grow together as an even bigger body of believers and that just thrills me. If the summer staff can gel like the spring staff did, then we will be an unstoppable force for Christ this summer. Through the activities, games, creation, chapel, and through our personal stories Christ will transform lives and also be glorified for the magnificent, brilliant, omniscient God that He is. Holy is He.
As you can tell I am pretty stoked for the Summer and am hoping/praying that Christ will make the rest of this week a success and a time for the spring/summer staff to unite and grow in fellowship and in faith.
