This summer I was blessed enough to spend 5 weeks at Rockbridge Alum Springs on workcrew. I made absolutely incredible friends and grew so close to the Lord. Doing laundry all day every week for five weeks got pretty frustrating at times, but I was sooooo lucky to be able to spend that time with two other beautfiul laundry girls who taught me so much. Sometimes the days would be so hard but then I would walk into my cabin at night and be surrounded by beautiful, loving girls who quickly became my best friends. A few weeks later, I was again blessed to be able to do capernuam camp at Rockbridge. This challenged me in so many ways, but I again grew closer to the Lord by seeing him work through kids with disabilities. My buddy was Lindsey and as challenging as she was, she had a beautiful spirit and I learned a lot by watching how much she loved Jesus.In the fall, I went back to Rockbridge again for Fall Weekend. This was my third fall weekend but it was the best by far. I got to see great friends and grow closer to new ones. Well, I most recently went back to Rockbridge last weekend. It was for prayer overnight. I've never felt so connected to the Lord. I stood in awe of Him as I felt his presence all around that weekend.
For all of these reasons, I'm so glad to have Rockbridge and the experiences in my life. It's been so awesome to see God work through all of them, and yeah, Rockbridge is my home away from home.
