After Camp Affects

I got home from camp yesterday at about noon. Went to Chipotle (food never tasted so good) and just...sat. And thought. And put laundry in the washing machine.

I learned a lot at camp, but the main thing that stuck out to me this last week was about worship. I learned that worship is not about whether you lift your hands or not. It's not about closing your eyes or swaying to the music. In fact it's not even about if you sit in the front of the back. Rather it's about giving glory to God and completely submitting yourself to Him. Your form of worship is just how God tugs at your heart and how you would like to give Him praise. You may give him praise by just standing there staring and not even mouthing the words. Honestly it doesn't matter.

After I came back I noticed a few things, all pointing towards something that I sorta noticed before camp. You see, I wasn't worried about camp this year. Normally when such a big event is about to happen I get all flustered and start thinking of everything that could go wrong. But oddly before I left I didn't feel that way at all. I actually felt peaceful. Now that I am back, some of the things that bothered me before I left have almost completely left my mind, making me wonder why I was even worried about them to begin with. With all honesty I am thrilled that this. Thrilled and thankful.

School is going to start within two weeks. I'm scared outta my mind. But God's gonna take care of me. He has his hand on me the whole entire time. At camp we were given lightbulbs of which we were to write something that we want Jesus to help us with. I wrote "faith". I've always struggled with faith and trust and believing that God will help me. It's been a constant battle in my life. Surprisingly though, I feel that I have more faith now. Well, not really surprisingly. It's not a surprise what Jesus can do.

I'm gonna tell the camp director next year that he lied. And he's gonna be happy =)

Thanks God for an awesome camp experience and for providing for my life even when I don't think that things will work out. You truly are absolutely amazing.

Love,
