anxiously waiting for board meeting summary

For weeks now there has been talk about operating two camps instead of just one. There is a camp about a mile away from the camp that I am at now that hasn't been used over 3 years. The people who run it, went to my boss and asked if we wanted to expand and have another site.

Tonight is the night where the board votes to move forward or not. This is big, my entire job will change if it is yes, everything about us as a camp will change in having two sites over just one. As scary as change is, I think this is a really good change. My heart has been fluttery all day about it. I am fairly confident that the vote will be "yes" and if that is the case, my job will change tomorrow. I will be in charge of filling this brand new place for summer 2016, I will have two calendars to manage and so many more groups to oversee and take care of. Am I nervous? Very much so! Do I think its going to be amazing? Even more!

I don't know how I am going to react if the vote was "no" There is a lot of other things going on, a second camp will be hard to get started in the midst of everything that is going on at our site now, but I think that a lot of the intensity of the moment will be relieved in having two areas to do everything that we do, instead of just one.

Growth is such a good thing. But there are always hard parts about growth as well. When you are underbooked, you are able to be way more accommodating. You will do whatever you can to have anyone on site, but as you grow, you have more people and you have more needs, and there comes a point where you are less accommodating and flexible. --You can no longer change your date last minute, you have to rebook your retreat as soon as you finish one, you can't hog the campfire ring all night.

But as much as I focus on the "negative" there are lots of positives that create this atmosphere. You are doing things so well as a camp that people are driven and have a strong desire to be there. When you are able to be overly flexible, its because you have nothing else to offer people to be there.

I need to remember that as I go through this camp growth spurt. We are growing  because things are being done right, and we need to keep doing the right thing.

I am so scared, nervous and excited to hear about the board meeting. I hope that whatever the outcome of the meeting that the board members took their time to pray and think about what is best for camp.
