Well I just got back from a 2 day Winter Camp with my youth group called, "Break up my fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord..." Everyday last week, I along with a couple other girls met together to pray for a revival to happen among our youth group. God heard our prayers and did a work far above our expectations.
Unfortunately, with some health problems that I presently am dealing with, I couldn't fully enjoy and participate in camp. I am just happy that I was able to be present to hear the sermons, because it's just not the same hearing them online. :-)
It was nice to get together with friends, have fun, and make memories, but my favorite part would have had to be the late night chat around the fireplace. After the Monday night service, we all met to share with each other what we had learned from the 3 sermons that we had heard. Wow! What a blessing, we had such a great time of sweet fellowship. A few said that they got saved and many others talked about commitments that they had made.
Personally, one thing that really stuck out to me was this thought. Brother Knutson said, "Right now you are becoming the person who you will be in 10 years from now." It got me to think of my present life and also about the future. What things would I have to work on NOW to become that ideal person that God wants me to be? God gave us the teen years to be a construction sight to build a solid foundation for the finished product in the adult stage. Once you graduate high school, go to college, and get a job you won't have the time that you have now to work on those areas. It was just an encouragement to me to keep pressing forward with God's help and keep my eyes on the goal. If God's involved, I know I won't fail.
Here are some pics from camp, hope you enjoy! Till next time...
