Quest Camp

Well, I'm going to try to blog here about my adventures last week. On Aug 1st, we moved Angel into her first apartment. Yes she has roommates, however, it was still weird to see our little girl moving off to a new life as an adult.

Sunday... Aug 2nd....

I'm off to camp! This was the start to an amazing adventure. I had more fun than I ever thought I could. It started Sunday by getting muself to camp. Once there, I found my cabin. Well, at least there were two girls in my cabin from my region. I knew one. Well, this week was just so amazing. I got outside my comfort zone right off. The counselors were introduced to the campers to music. We were supposed to dance down the isle toward the front of the group... about 165 campers that is. So, that was way out of my comfort zone. But I did it anyway. Caitlynn was at camp as well and recorded me.

Sunday we didn't have any messages, but Monday started off with deep messages. Monday morning's message was about Heaven and the afternoon message was about marriage. It was so awesome. I can't even fully discribe the amazing information given to everyone. Of course the messages got even deeper... Tuesday was about Hell and dating, Wednesday about God's passionate desier, God's design for attraction. Thursday was about the World and the draw of the World (geared toward the teens of course), and Friday...In the world, but not of the world and How to take it home.

What really sticks out in my mind about the whole week is the kids. They are so energetic, excited and loving. They were so amazing last week. Kids were helping to pick up people's dishes after meals. During the Open Mic Night, they encouraged each other. If someone on stage made a mistake, they would cheer on that person and tell them they could do it. If it were anywhere else, they would have been boo-ed off the stage. The teens are so amazing.

I am so blessed that I could go last week. I really want to go as a counselor again next year. I met some amazing people and started some wonderful friendships.

My current goal is to start posting my quiet times here again. I would love to share them with anyone who is interrested in seeing how God works in our lives. He really does.
