Day 2 at Muskoka Woods

“Becoming a leader by loving the way that Jesus loved”

Speaker Robin Bailey shared many personal stories about times he has encountered Christ in the love of others. He expressed the importance of showing love to others just like Christ did. We listened to a song by Mumford and Sons titled “Awake My Soul."

Awake My Soul: Mumford and Sons

How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

Har har, har har, har har, har har

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul

You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker

After listening we went into our small groups to discuss the song as well as discuss where we, as students, invest our love.

God is working here at this camp in developing leaders and showing us how to lead by loving others. A big push so far has been becoming leaders in our school as well as building up our school. Robin has challenged us to continue to make efforts to turn the ship (the school) to become an even more loving school. Together great things can happen!
