life in full swing

I'M BACK :)

from new england teen camp, of course, where i had he most amazing time of my life. like it's almost dissappointing because there's probably only a limited amount of these fantastic moments and i just had a week of them...who knows how many more i'll get?!

anyway, this camp; a week of fun, of learning about God, and a week of fellowship. a week of super awesomeness! the theme was "authentic" and it challenged each of us to be just that. we learned about being open with people and how important that really is. we talked about the authentic standards we need to have, and we talked about God's authentic and indescribable love for us.

honestly, i don't even know where to begin, other than the fact that i have a lot to change in my life. it's crazy! but i guess a good place to start with that is at least to be open with people. then your feelings are out! maybe you'll realize what your issue is or maybe the person you're talking to will, lol. either way, you could learn a lot from yourself, others, and most importantly God, simply by humbling yourself and being real with people.

this year, i don't feel like i came back super excited from camp...like not that "i'm going to conquer the world!" feeling, but it was more of an anticipation to go back to reality with God as my focus. with God i can do anything. with God i can live in peace, with contentment, with unending love, with forgiveness, with security. with God i can change. i couldn't ask for anything better.

camp buddies



reunited...and it feels so good!



mad tired.

i could talk for weeks about what went down at camp, but i'll spare whoever's reading this and finish off by saying that we all need a relationship with God. humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and do great things for Him!

eh.

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him."
