Power of God!

Wow is all that I can say about the power of God! Never before have i known a love so powerful. On monday night at chapel at camp it was as though it was a normal thursday night at camp. Thursday is the day that God just comes and over takes the camp. On tuesday night while we were in chapel we did our prayer and worship time. God was working in big ways that night breaking down walls, giving strength, and comforting people! We had music in the background and everywhere you looked you saw teens praying and praising God. The feeling there that night is indescribable all i can say is God is great! chapel ran late that night. People where getting there feet washed, everyone praying with each other or for each other. This was only the start to an amazing week of chapel! On that night when we walked out of chapel we all felt so comforted and at peace. The next thing you know we are in front of the lake and me and my friend i was walking with looked up at the sky! WOW what a picture God painted that night is was so neat to look up and see a clear night with bright shinning stars up in the sky! If I had the chance to sleep outside in the dirt that night i would have done so.


Another night at camp we did a sin/praises activity that was neat to do. On the floor when we walked in to the chapel there was a black sheet with black sharpies and a white sheet with colorful sharpies. On the black one we wrote our sins on to confess them and no one could read them because they where in black. On the white one we put down our praises. It was neat to see and read all the different things everyone was thankful for. On the last night of camp we had a fire and we took the black sheet and burned it and the white one we hung up so that we could read it all and see what everyone else had wrote. I had a blast and when i can put more of the experience in to words i will but i am just so over taken by what God did at camp that week!!!

I'm so glad camp was such an encouragement, Syd. It's been neat to hear your stories from this year, and that Sharpie sin/praises activity is really cool--I hadn't ever heard of that!
