Foundation Building

Zayonna and her fellow campers are having quiet time. They’ve just finished an hour jettisoning themselves around the camp’s large pool, splashing and twirling away on pool floats, acting out underwater pantomimes that mimic mermaids. As the girls rest, Counselor Ashlyn turns on soft Christian music. Soon, it’s time to grab snacks and then the group is off to activity centers.

As a counselor, you never know exactly what things or people God is going to use to reach these campers, just that He will use something or someone. That’s why it is so important to stress the RFKC value of good character and to be prepared for God’s timing.

Later, at dinner, Zayonna asks her counselor if the word ‘foundation’ means trust.

“Oh, where did you hear that word?” asks Ashlyn.

“In a song today,” replies Zayonna.

“Ah! I remember that song. Yes, it means what you base your life on.”

“Well, Jesus is going to be my strong foundation,” Zayonna declares.

Ashlyn beams. “That’s a really good decision.”
