With Gladness of Heart

It's our last morning! We all have such mixed emotions about it. We leave great friends behind and bonds have been forged that will never be broken. This is a special place. We have done great things and changed in amazing ways. I have always said that I learn so much more from the teens than I could possibly imagine they learn from me. This has proven to be true hundreds of times here at JamCamp. As we sat at the Ring of Honor there were so many girls I wanted to honor. So many changes and so little time. As an adult I feel like I shouldn't be allowed to see this part of camp. Like I am sneaking a peak at something so sacred and if anyone knew they would ask me to leave. Seeing the kids in this way is simply inexplicable. There is so much I feel but cannot put in words. I continue to be so grateful to Jeff and Jennifer for allowing me to be a part of this. I know I am a better person for it. I just don't think I can ever do enough for others to equal what has been given me! To God be the glory. Tomorrow many of us will return home....to our families and friends and lives. But we will take all of our Jamaican family with us in our hearts. Such a bittersweet day!
