Camp in a nutshell...
This past week was amazing. After a 12 hour bus ride through the night, we arrived to Gulf Shores Alabama on Monday morning with 450 high school students eager to get off the buses and begin this long awaited week at the Beach. While the God-factor of being at church camp was probably not consuming most of their minds at this point, little did they know what all the Lord had in store for them for the rest of the week.Here's the highlights: I helped to lead and organize a girls prayer time that grew each morning, it was so encouraging to see so many girls that were eager to start off their days, so early each morning, to get focused on the Lord first thing.
My Condo was Fabulous! It was myself and 10, tenth grade girls who I got to bond with ALOT throughout the week. Each night we would have a time for all of us to talk and share what God had done in their lives that day or just about things in life in general and to pray together, it was so great. I had the best time serving those girls this week. Not to mention how incredibly nice our condo was( 3 bed, 3 bath, living, kitchen, and huge balcony over looking the Ocean, doesnt get much better than that!).
On Wednesday night 74 high school students accepted Christ. I was in Awe. The message was so powerful and hit home with a lot of them, and the Angels were partying like crazy that night!
The beach was beautiful. It was the perfect intro for me spending the next 2 months living at the beach. Everything from the sounds of the waves crashing in, to the sand against my bare feet, to the sunsetting and the stars looking brighter than ever in a sky that appears to have no end, parallel to an Ocean that appeared to go on forever, I felt very small around it all, and it reminded me just how big God is.
I'm in the process of washing and re-packing all of my stuff for California. I'll write a little more about that tomm. But all in all Camp 05 was great! I came back feeling exhausted physically and a bit sleep deprived, but very spirit-filled and humbled, and confident that the Lord is definitely at work in my life. Goodnight for now!~A
