HOME! Pulled and Stretched.
Camp was awesome. It’s so crazy that God can work through young teens.
I was responsible for a group of six girls, that were 13 and 14 years old. I seriously thought I was going to die on the second day, and desperately wanted to go home. I’m pretty sure I was stretched beyond my comfort zone, and that it was all apart of God’s plan that I was there.
And, I’m not going to lie…I feel like I could’ve done a lot better, as in getting more involved and being more outgoing but that’s honestly just not my personality and it kind of stinks that that *sometimes* stops me from reaching out/ministering to other people. But I seriously believe that God can and WILL use anyone He wants, whether they are super friendly and outgoing or shy and misunderstood.
Everyday was exhausting and super jam packed with activities but every night after chapel, everything would calm down and we would just wait on God and let His presence flow through the room; it was so incredible.
I’ve never prayed for people (like directly TO/ON them) before, so that was a first for me, and something that I know God had planned for me there. So, I was praying over a few of my girls and it’s soooo mind blowing that I had NOTHING planned to say and things were just falling out of mouth. And, really, it wasn’t like this super awesome prayer but I’ve never experienced God like that, where I was solely relying on His help. Ha, I need to do that more often!
ANNNNNND, the girls I had were so OPEN to hearing God’s voice and were so aware of what they needed to change in their lives. It’s such a beautiful sight seeing them worshiping and praying on their knees with tears just flowing down their faces.
Ah, it was awesome. Jesus is awesome.
Shine your light and let the whole world see, we’re singing for the glory of the risen KING.
