WOW! This was by far the most amazing camp ever. I knew God would be working through each and everyones lives last week but actually experiencing it put me at a loss of words. I went expecting my prayer language and that alone. Although I did not come home with the ability to speak in tongues, I mendened broken friendships, got rid of the bad influences in my life, and got water baptised. God worked through my life like never before. I have a greater appreciation for freindships and their importance. God moved through everyone and I was so glad I went!!
God did so many amazing things at camp I am pumped to see what we all do with it. I came into camp with a heart on fire for God so I didnt need to use camp for that. So I used it to let God speak to me and man did he ever. The Lord totally convicted me and let me know that although I am at a great place with the Him that doesn't give me any excuse to stop running towards him. You see I thought that I was great where I was at with God, and that as long as I stayed there for the rest of my life then I was set...yeah that was totally wrong. No matter how close we are to God nobody is perfect and we always need to keep sprinting towards Him. The spiritual aspect of camp may be what most of us come for but every year my relationships with everyone are strengthened so much from spending an entire week with them and I always come out of camp closer to people then I ever could have imagined. Pretty much summer camp rocked and I am stoked for next year. And remember... THE RICHARDSON IS THE BEST DANCE MOVE EVER!!!!! -Matt Wilson
Oh i didnt know i could put my name at the top i thought i had to be anonymous :( well that one that says anonymous up there is totally mine!
okay well..God did some amazingly impactful things in my life. I was a little nervous sinece last year was so huge as well, I didnt know if I would get as much out of camp this year, BOY WAS I WRONG! God really told me I was way to much of a people pleaser and I let it consume me to much. I was spending too much time making sure I had "surface" relationships with friends in ever grade/group that I was missing out on the deeper relationships I really need. Because at the end of one day at camp I was sitting alone in the sanctuary with so much on my heart about life, God, relationships I didnt know who to tlak to, I felt so alone because everyone was with other people. I remember thinking how did this happen I have so many friends but I am feel so alone right now, I have never felt so defeated and humbled. God really spoke to me telling me that I was caught in the "People Pleasing Pit" I wanted to do everything, talk to everyone, I was a blur of motion never in one place for more than a few mintes, I was a table hopper, group changer, friend switcher all these things you have probably seen. My personality is just like that. Well anyway Kelsey Kennedy ended up speaking at service on Sunday about it and I was blown away with God's ability to drive something into our brains! When he speaks I have no choice but to listen. I hope to spend more time with closer friends and give then more time and attention instead of just relying on surface relationships with people I know but dont really "know" Also, I needed to let go of some things that were holding me back, Naturally, I am a bit boy crazy and God really drove it home that that was one of the things keeping me from seeking him whole heartidly. I was so angry to find out that this was hiding in the darkest corner of my soul and only God could see it! I knew that I didnt want it to get any bigger so I prayed so hard asking God to focus my attention, and just shut up my stupid raging teenage hormones! I also got water baptized again, last year I did it because everyone was doing it, dont get me wrong I thought it was good and I knew what it meant but God really told me that the past year I have been like goin through the motions and not fully pursueing Him with all my heart and I felt I just really needed to be baptized again, so I did, and I have never gotten so many hugs in my life!! Just knowing that Im not a complete failure and that no matter what God loves me and I felt like a new person when I came up like the old split personality girl who was a "christian" at church but didnt fully walk her faith was washed away in the lake and the new girl was a girl who loved God with all her heart and would be afraid to walk it out!So....all that to say, Camp was incredible and God blew me away with his amazing compassion. Sorry about the typos I type so fast that I just dont care =]
