10) THANK YOU...Belly Button finger bops from the mobs of little kids who misinterpreted my non-verbals for "ticklish" when in fact you were stabbing my tummy flab with your pointy little fingers. It's always a good thing getting out of my comfort zone when you pop my personal bubble again, as well as bring out all my insecurity of chub. ;)
8) THANK YOU... to the 50 girls with knee-long hair who wanted their hair done 12 times each. You helped me perfect the french braid, including, 1-30 braids, small, medium, large, diagonal, sideways, circular, etc.
7) THANK YOU... 5 team members to put on the entire camp. Truly have I done things I never thought I would.
6) THANK YOU...game named "telephone" in Russian. Due to you, I was completely hopeless, helpless, and incapable of playing.
4) THANK YOU....Language Barrier. I now realize how powerful non-verbal communication..and it's genuinely refining me.
3) THANK YOU... family and friends. Because each one of you I continually realize that this investment is far far FAR more worth than I ever could have imagined.
2) THANK YOU... children of Camp One. Because of you, I truly have started to see the refined individual God has created me to be. Selfishness to Selflessness. Pride to Humility. Hopelessness to Hopefulness. Ashes to Beauty. Anger to Joy. Anxiety to Peace. Frustration to continually growth. Tall/Solid Barriers to vulnerability. Openness to appropriate boundaries. Loneliness to discernment with friends. Control to Freedom.
1) THANK YOU...Jesus Christ for never abandoning an orphan child. Thank you for never abandoning me. I will always praise You.
