Sorry this is late!
What God did 4 me this past week at Lake Geneva Christian Camp was amazing!! I was expecting that God was going to do something great before I left, but he did so much more. So for you to get the whole picture I must start from the beginning.
As the week started my mind was very clouded, confused and distracted by some situations I was in back at home. I really didn’t want my last week at camp, as a student to be one where I came back home the same person, I wanted my life to be in some way different. So I had prayed before we left that my mind would be clear for camp but it seemed like everything I did wouldn’t work. After we had reached the camp (the bus ride was fun except for the incredible pain in my butt) we got our rooms and settled in. Later that night I went to prayer in the gym. I prayed and prayed but I couldn’t think at all, my mind was all over and consumed. After we had finish I heard my name being called out and when I looked it was Jodi. I went over to her and she wanted to pray for me because she saw that I was being torn apart. She had said that something evil was going on inside of me. So we prayed and after Jodi had told me that the devil doesn’t want me around, that he wants me dead. To tell you the truth it was a little creepy hearing that. The service that night was increditable!!!!!! In the past years at camp usually the first night service isn’t that great but this one was different. God told me what was clouding my mind, what was creating the pain in my heart and what needed to be changed in my life to help heal this pain. After that night I knew that this week was going to be different. As the week went on I got closer and closer to God. Tuesday night at service was amazing and I remember breaking down crying when Reggie asked the students who thought about ending their lives. There was so many of them and you could walk past them every day and you wouldn’t have a clue what was really going on in the inside. It scared me. That night God taught me that I can’t be alright with how my life is now. The next day I had a very special “date” with a very good friend of mine (don’t worry it wasn’t with a guy) after the “big” event (which was each team was holding on a rope and the teams had to run around the camp ground while being hit with balls and going over the opsical course, which Im proud of myself that I did it). I was a little scared to go at first because of what my friend might say, but after I was so glad I went. This friend told me a story that was in the bible and without knowing a lot about what was going on inside of me the bible story she told me was about this girl who was in the same situation I’m in at home, which was cool. From that story I learned so much about myself and how to face the challenges that will soon come my way. The rest of the week was great and God did so many other sweet stuff. THANKS FOR THE BEST CAMP EVER!!!!!!!!! EVERYONE!!!!!!! LOVE YA ALL!!!!!!!!!!
