I absolutely love camp!! I wish I could go every month of every year!
I'll start out with the very beginning you see this year has been really hard... my dad left us just this Feburary and it has just been so hard on my mom... but I really think it has made a more positive impact after the negative... I mean it started out really rough cause:
1 he left for another woman
2 my mom really loves him
3 it was my brother's senior year
and a lot more
But anyway I was doing ok till I actually realized what he was doing and that he was not coming back... So needless to say I was really looking forward to my mission trip and camp just so I could get away from it all...
Well I went off on my mission trip and really got close to God and got to spend a lot of time in his word and also see that I had it way better compared to what a lot of people in the world do have. When I came back I was ready to go to camp and start to really give it all back to God.
I went to camp and was so happy... I had many of my best friends with me and was ready to go and worship. Well the first night came I just went up to the altar and started to pray and just get all of my emotions out of me & out of the way and man that felt so relieving and I just fell right over because it was like the weight was so great that was lifted that I had just became immune to it.
Well then, the second night came and I went up to stand in for my family for a healing and that ended up as an amazing experience all in itself.
The third night came and all week I had been wanting to tell one of my friends who went through the same thing I did this past year but his parents were now divorced and we all knew he hadn't gotten his emotions out yet and so I told him that I was going through the same thing that he went through and so we told each other that we would be there for each other and now we're like brother and sister. Also on that night we all (our youth group) were either filled or re-filled with the Holy Spirit! We had a great time because about 3 of us began to laugh in the Spirit and danced and sang and we just became so drunk in the Spirit that it was amazing!
The last night came and we were all going after God so strongly! They requested that people who felt called into fulltime ministry to come forward to pray and receive a blessing and just to pray for a few minuets and call to God for a reassurement and just to let God speak to us Well little did I know that God would speak to me and I just listened and stood still as ever and I heard him whisper nations nations nations and I just began to weep and cry out to God just absolutely amazed at his voice and just overwhelmed by this I started to shake and cry and my friends thought something was wrong cause I do have a shaking problem where sometimes I cant control it and they were so worried I couldnt stand up I was so just overwhelmed by His words and then they asked if God had spoken to you to raise your hand and then come up on the stage so I did with some help the speaker asked what he said to me and I said God came to me and whispered in my ear Nations nations nations. And then I just remember they said for everyone to pray to God and just give him thanks for what he had done for us this week.
Then my friend began to pray and he was praying hard, and somehow I knew that he was giving his burden to God. So I began to pray with him and he began to weep and scream and just cry out to God and my heart just went out to him After a l9ong time we began to get worried about him cause he was laying on the ground and he was coughing and yet still screaming So I just whispered to him God Loves you and he will give you a blessing in return for giving your burden to him He understands He just looked up at me and reached for me so I leaned down and he just held me for a while and cried and he then whispered to me Im Free! He was so hurt and now he was Free!
I just thank God for all that has happened this past week! God is so Good!! I love Him!!
