best Wummer ever!!

This summer has truly been such a gift! I have found joy in so many new things! But most of all, I have so much gratitude for the memories I made and the people I have met.

To my wonderful campers: You truly are so amazing! You guys have taught me so much about myself and were so encouraging. It was wonderful getting to watch you grow throughout the time we shared together. God is so intentional and has placed you here for a reason. I cannot wait to see where your journey here at Baylor takes you!

To my fellow leaders: I cannot begin to express the gratitude that I have for you all. I have felt nothing but support and love this summer. The hesitation I experienced coming to camp this summer was so swiftly washed away by the comfort that I was given by you guys. I have loved getting to pour into you guys and have appreciated even more what true love and friendship can mean. I thank God every day that He chose to bless me with people as resilient and kind and generous as you are. As Aristotle defines it, you are my Good friends. Thank you for being my Soul Friends. Love you big!!

Best summer of my Life.

This post is long overdue, but I’ve been dreading making it because i really don’t want to say goodbye to what was, but I am so thankful for what it’s become.

To my campers - I love y’all so much! I am so beyond thankful that all of you ended up in my group. It has made me beyond happy seeing each one of you grow, challenge each other and thrive together. I know that God has such huge plans for each and every one of you, and I am beyond expectant of what you will become. Always remember that you have a Home at Baylor, a Father through our God, and a Friend in Me.🙃🤍

To O+BLC (Prostaff too) - (I’m so sorry I couldn’t tag all 60 of you) I am truly blessed to be able to call each and every one of you my friends. After this summer, you each have became much more than that. This family that I have found in the O + BLC community has been unlike anything I have ever had. For the way you have challenged me, brought me closer to God, loved me, and seen me for who I am, thank you. Each and every one of you. For making this summer something that I will remember for the rest of my life, and I truly hope that we can share these memories and good times together forever.🤍

There is beauty, there is joy, and there is laughter in life- as there ought to be. But remember, all of you, not to regard lightly nor to ridicule the sacred things, those worthwhile things. Hold them dear, cherish them, for they alone will sustain you in the end; and remember too that only through work and ofttimes through hardships may they be attained. But the compensation of blessing and sweetness at the last will glorify every hour of work and every heartache from hardship. -Samuel Palmer Brooks

I’m leaving this summer stronger, better, and with more love for Baylor and its people.
You haven’t met all the people you will love yet! You haven’t met all the people who will love you! Baylor WILL change you, and you WILL change Baylor.

Wow. I can’t believe my time as a Baylor Orientation and Line Camp Leader is over. This job truly meant everything to me. Being able to introduce new students into a place I hold so dear to my heart was truly a dream come true.
Thank you to every single person at Baylor NSP for working SO hard to make sure that all of these students had the best experience!! Not only that, but also pouring into all of the other leaders consistently!!! To my cohort leader Meg, thank you for leading us so well.
Special Shoutout to my 242 leader @jaden_evans20 Y’all don’t understand how much he did for us behind the scenes!! He is such a great friend and supporter to others, and one of the most kind and thoughtful people I know! Thank you Jaden, for pouring into us so well, and encouraging us always! You are the best 242 leader we could have ever asked for.
I am so thankful for all of the leaders that I got to work with this summer. Guys, thank you for making me feel so appreciated and seen! All of your kind words made me feel so fulfilled, and I am so thankful for each and every one of you!! You all are an answered prayer, and I can not wait to dwell in community with y’all!! You don’t understand how much y’all mean to me!!!
To Cannon’s Kids, The Team, The Cannon’s, The Cannonballs, and The Grand Cannons(kaboom),and the snuggles(iykyk), you all are WHY I wanted to do this job. Getting to see each and every one of you grow in such a short amount of time, and become excited to come back to Baylor meant EVERYTHING to me. Each and every one of you 53 now mean so much to me. I really enjoyed being able to lead you and pour into you. Thank you for allowing me to do so, and making me feel poured into as a leader as well. “Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you encounter various trials” James 1:2 This may sound a little different, but I hope you recognize it. The count off I had for you all. I hope you can continue to consider it joy. I am so excited to see all 53 of you in the fall!!! Please don’t be a stranger. You know you’ve got a friend in me:)

line camp is officially over, but friendship is not!

This summer truly was so transformative. I am so grateful to have found this community when I needed it most. Finding people who are so faithful, loving, supportive, and caring is such a blessing, and when you find people like that, you don’t let them go.

To the late nights in Earle Library, thank you for all of our delusional jokes and conversations that somehow lasted for hours. To the bus rides to Indy, thank you for Kareem. To our Friday debriefs that somehow always consisted of crying, laughing, and reminding each other how loved and appreciated we are, thank you. It was in all of those little moments that friendships turned into family.

You all have challenged me to be a better person, encouraged me when I needed it most, and inspired me to grow deeper in my faith. Thank you for celebrating the good days with me, sitting with me through the tough ones, and constantly pointing me back to Christ. I have laughed harder and cried more this summer than I have in a long time, and so much of that is because of each of you.

I truly believe you all were an answered prayer. God knew exactly what He was doing when He placed us in the same room, on the same bus, and in the same community. Without you all, I genuinely don’t know what this summer would have looked like or where I would be. Thank you for loving me so well and for making this summer one I will never forget.

You are no longer just people I had a class with, you became my family. I can’t wait to continue growing in our faith, our friendships, and all that God has in store for us. I love you all. 🩷

Thank you Jesus for these loving friends!

To my friends, thank you for being my answered prayer. I have been praying for a community like this for so long, and I am elated that I found it in you. Y’all have given me the most loving, meaningful, intentional, goofy, and Jesus-centered summer of my life. Thank you for all the laughs and fun times. So so so many Derek laughs, yells, screams, noises, animations, and dances were present this summer - and I am beyond grateful to share each of those moments with y’all. Not only do you bring me joy, but you bring meaning to my life. Thank you for allowing me to freely be Derek, and I encourage you to keep being authentically yourself, the way God made you to be. Thank you for praying with me and having deep conversations with me, I am so grateful to be around people who lift others up towards God. I am looking forward to growing in these friendships for years to come. I love you all dearly, and may God bless you and keep you for all your days.

Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another”. — Y’all make me sharper than iron. I feel so fulfilled for what we have done together this summer. It was all for Him and the students and families we served. Thank you for making it the best summer of my life :)
