Back From Camp

I am back from camp and I have survived. It was a difficult week, where I felt leaders, and students alike were being tested on patience, faith and endurance. The week was sure a roller coaster of emotions, accusations and tears, but we survived, and I have made lifetime friends, once again.

I have lots of memories, and way too many pictures, despite the fact my camera is now broken. Thanks to Camp Oneida for feeding into my picture taking addiction by letting me borrow the camp camera for most of the week.

I was able to see a glimpse of God this week, and feel His awesome strength, knowing that no matter what happens in my life, He is stronger than any of it.

I'm sure the leaders were being attacked this week, but God's strength is also stronger than that. He made sure the leaders all prayed together, worked together and showed love to one another so we could weather the storm together as a team, and it worked.

I miss it very much, even the hardships, because I never doubted for a second we wouldn't be able to overcome - I knew we would because I know my God is a strong God. I miss my friends, especially Vanessa, who became a very important figure that week, especially when I was going through a rough time, she was there to lean back on when I felt alone and scared.

I can't wait to continue to meet with these wonderful people, whom we already have plans to see Pirates of the Caribbean, a trip to Marineland and in a few weeks, Vanessa is coming down to visit me, so I couldn't be happier. (Well, I probably could be, but that's a whole 'nother story).

Glad to be home.

Thanks for your prayers.
