Lead the Leader

This week is leadership camp. We kinda mashed spring break camp and leadership together. The crowd totals to 3 campers, 1 girl and 2 boys. The spring break aspect of camp means the age of the campers in younger than the norm. On the leadership side of things there is more focus on how the campers can become leaders at camp, home, and in their communities. The hope is that when they return for a summer session they remember the skills and topics taught this week to help other campers. We cover things like personal hygiene, encouraging others, and environmental care.
It's interesting that during leadership camp I am learning more about being a leader. When here I am suppose to already be the leader. This camp has taught me that I need to think even MORE before I say things and has once again reinforced the fact that campers are always watching and mimicking our every move. Perfect example, this morning the solo girl camper and I were getting ready for the day. I stepped around the corner into the other room to change and walked out fully clothed and ready for the day. I had to make a quick hind region adjustment and rearrange a quick undergarment when I heard "what are you doing?" I whip around to see my camper sitting on her bed silently watching my "situation correction" occur. She had a puzzled look on her face like she was seeing something on National Geographic for the first time. She probably had never seen someone wiggle in that fashion before and then jump and spin in the same motion. Either way I laughed and said "just fixing myself...never mind, let's go to breakfast." All was forgotten and she kindly never mentions my pantie twitch again.
I've learned that it is the leader's job to lead, but to also learn. I'm constantly learning for the best leader, teacher, listener there ever was, Jesus. He has led me through so much, listened to probably too much, and witnessed one too many underwear adjustments. The best part is through it all He is always and will always be there for me.
