SWTA...Camp...and life!

CRAZINESS. INSANITY. EXHAUSTION.

That's my life right now.

I just got back from church camp Friday. It was an ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE week. I miss my small group and my kids at site sooooo much! But I am very glad to be back in my bed and eating non processed non cafeteria food. God moved in so many ways that week, he is such a great God. I learned and was reminded of so much and I'm so thankful for that week and everything he did for me and my youth group.

Summer With the Arts started today! Yippee! I  am the group leader for the 2nd and 3rd graders this week, (though tiring) they are so cute and I already love them so much! It was a really great day and I can't wait to see what the Lord does this week!

 
LUNCH TIME- SWTA 2012


Opening song time(I guess you could call it that haha)!


My brother and his biggest fan Allie :)

Anyway- just a glimpse of the day! Have a great week! But it probably won't be as great as mine :):)

I found it...

While we were at the beach, and since we have gotten home I have read my bible daily, but it has felt the same everyday- and nothing has really been different.

I didn't go to church last Wednesday or Sunday- and I missed it- terribly.

As I stood in youth last night, worshipping God with all that I had- it hit me.

I figured out what I was missing.

I was missing that fellowship with other believers, knowing that they were thinking the same things, they were going through the same struggles as I was. It was the best thing ever.

I have never loved my church, and those in it more than I did last night.

People always tell you how important it is to have those there who will strengthen you- but it won't hit you until God moves in your heart. Like He did in mine yesterday night.

I realized how important it is to have that group of believers around you strengthening you, encouraging you...and I felt the difference when I walked in the church doors. And even though I already knew it was important- it just hit last night, more than it ever had before.

Knowing people that love God the way I do, having them there for you, makes the difference in the world.

So thank you to all of those in my church, not only in my youth group, but in my whole church who are always there supporting me and encouraging me to do my best.

These people mean the world to me, and I couldn't be more grateful to have them beside me as we walk the journey Christ has laid before us together.

Stop at 12:00 for Emily- update

**update** Oh my word. Prayer is a MIRACLE worker! Go read Emily's Cancer blog NOW!!! **

Please hop on over to Emily's Cancer Blog and read her latest posts. Her treatments weren't working, and so with talking with the Lord and her parents, they stopped her treatments about 2 weeks ago.

She needs a miracle. Her church and family are stopping at 8pm in England(where she lives) and having a large group of people to pray for her. She did a post for everyone who reads her blog to also join in. Some of you may not read her blog, but you should, and you should also stop at 12:00 pm today and say a prayer for Emily. She needs peace, rest, healing, and her family, friends, and church is praying for a miracle. So am I.

Just like my dad preached about 3 or 4 weeks ago, pray BIG, and pray BOLD!!! And that is what we need to do, pray for a miracle, by praying BOLDLY through the power Christ has given to us as Christians.

It won't take long. Maybe 2 or 3 minutes. Just stop at 12:00(even if it's a few minutes later) and ask for a miracle in Emily's life.

Thank you.
