GA Camp

This past week I went to GA camp.  The theme was LIVE LOVE! It was a very refreshing experience for me and my faith! I taught a bible study again this year and was blessed by all the girls in my class. We finally got to stay in the WMU this year, so the YAYA's were excited.


I wanted to share 4 of the experiences from camp that I had never experienced before. 
1. It was my first time to experience a foot washing. The pastor had each church and the YAYA group wash each others  feet. It was a great time to see each girl take it so seriously and reverently. Our inspiration: John 13 :)
2. It was my first time to experience the desire to read scripture all day long. I have never had a strong desire to read scripture because it has always been kinda a "task" to get done. God worked in my heart that week and gave me the desire to intensively read scripture.
3. It was my first time to experience the urgency to share the gospel. This feeling was straight from God himself and it was amazing to feel him moving! I can not share much about this due to privacy of those involved, but if you have any questions, ask me-please! It was one of the greatest feelings ever because I knew I was completely under Gods direction! 
4. It was my first time to experience a sermon that involved action to portray Christ's sacrifice for us. The pastor bought a small gift for everyone in the camp. He said somebody had to make a sacrifice/pay for the gift and he wanted to do it for us. He did a push-up for every person in the camp-225 push-ups DURING the worship service! He gave girls the opportunity to turn down the gift, but he still did push-ups for them to show that Christ died for everyone, even if they dont accept his gift of salvation! 


Overall, as you can tell, it was a great week at camp. It was the best GA camp that I have ever been to! 


Scripture: Philippians 4:4-7
"Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
