camp

A week at camp means countless times where God was at work! Each day we ended with a circle of teens sharing where they had seen God that day. Each day, they all had something to say. Prayers were answered,  lives were touched, and relationships with God and others grew. This year at camp, things were different than last year, just as I expected.  It seems every time I take a youth trip, God has something He wants accomplished. This year at camp was no different.  I had quite a few young high schoolers.  And, most seemed unsure about something-their confidence in themselves was not strong. Throughout the week, they were given challenges,  opportunities to conquer their fears, rely on each other, and grow by being given the encouragement of others and through faith in God.  To some, the challenges were simple, but to others it was as if they had a mountain to climb.  The opposite was also true. Several felt lost by being the older ones of the group, not used to being the leaders and having nobody to challenge and pull them ahead. They took a bit, butthen ssettled in to their role as they finally understood what they needed to do.
Watching thebdynamics of the group change throughout the week and seeing them all become closer and stronger was a blessing.
So, where was God last week? He was everywhere in everything.
Blessings,
