Familiarity & Routine

14/12/2017

Hey guys, I hope you’re enjoying this Christmas season!

I’ve been at school the last 4 months just like a lot of you guys have been, I’ve seen the same people for the last 4 months just like you guys have. You see some of your friends just as much as your family. Everything ends up becoming a routine. It becomes a routine we live for and not so much of the purpose which we live for that God has graciously given us. There have been a couple times over the last 4 months that I have asked God, 'Why am I even going to school?' And the answer I always seem to get is to show love and grace. The second answer I received was to not get caught in my own excess familiarity of my now daily routine of school and other things in my life that further breed contempt.

Seasons of Our Lives

30/11/2017

Hey guys!!
Guess what?? Christmas is only 4 Mondays away! I don’t know about you, but Christmas is my absolute favourite holiday. I love the lights, the music, and the joy that fills the season. One of the things I love most about Christmas though, is the hope that it brings in a season where not much around us is vibrant and full of life. All the pretty colours of fall have passed, and we’re a long way from spring, yet there is still a feeling that something new and amazing is coming.

An Attitude of Gratitude

2/11/2017

Hey campers!
I hope you guys have been having a fabulous school year! I miss camp so much and can’t wait until next summer! Right now I am in grade 12 and I am having a blast while learning so many new things! One of the biggest things God has been teaching me lately is gratitude.

What Motivates You?

19/5/2017

What is behind every decision you make, beginning first thing in the morning?
What do you live for?
When it really comes down to it, there are only two options: love of God, or just plain fear.

Dealing with Worry

21/4/2017

Greetings from Motorhome!

What do you worry about? School? Friendships? Something else?

Wouldn’t it be great if we could get God’s advice about the things we worry about?
Well guess what, we can. Check out the verse below:

Jesus is Enough

7/4/2017

Heyy guys! I hope you have all had a wonderful year so far but if you're anything like me, you're already counting down the days until camp this summer.. (86 more days by the way & I'm pumped). I miss camp so much but God has been teaching me a lot since the summer. He has been revealing himself to me in ways I never would have expected but above all, God has been showing me that He is enough.

A Selfless Sacrifice

24/3/2017

Have you ever heard about the story of Jesus Christ? Some of you might have heard it before it’s also known as the Gospel or the Good News! If you have never heard about Jesus’ life, it’s a story like no other, full of shocking and amazing parts all for you and me!

Finding Truth in Jesus

24/2/2017

Hey all you wonderful people! It’s that time again; a blog from your counsellor! You get the opportunity to have a look into our lives and hopefully learn a thing or two from it. And boy o boy has my life been busy. Chunky Monkey’s year has been exciting...

Peaks and Valleys

10/2/2017

Hey Campers, Mater here!

Guess What! Only 141 days until the first day of Session 1! Preparation has already begun to make Summer ‘17 the best yet! As you can probably tell, I can not wait until Camp starts and my jorts can make a comeback! But, in the meantime I have been tasked with this edition of the CBC Counsellor Blog.

To keep with last summer's theme, my “Truth of the Day” is, Jesus is always there.
