This week has been so good, I just get back from training camp and three days later I’m off doing you guessed it. More Camping! But it’s good because, no tent, all cabins, three square meals a day, showers with hot water, ohh yes life is good! I’m at a place called Camp Table Rock out in Missouri, it’s the second time I’ve been here and I gotta
say I’m just starting to remember
some of the standout things of
my last trip. The thing that stands
out the most in my memory was
when I sat in a little ampitheater
with a cross at the other end,
and it was there that I experienced
one of my first encounters with the
actual
real, living, loving God of the universe.
Which was up until this point just a thought in my head that others kept telling me about. That's when sitting in that small ampitheater staring at that cross, I heard God start to speak to me! A small whisper grew in the back of my head that said that I was loved beyond my understanding. I sat there overwhelmed in the presence of God for who knows how long before I was able to walk away knowing that I was loved, and worthy of the call. Because He made me worthy. It’s unbelievable how crazy God works, because I got to sit there in that same spot again, and again I felt God speak into my 
life. It was like the words of a Father whispering He was proud of me and that He and He alone would sustain me . I remember leaving here three years ago with a deeper view of who God is, and it propelling me into my life now. I remember who I was three years ago, and this week it has become so clear how much God has molded me and shaped me into the person that I am today. I remember what He brought me out of, where He has brought me from, and the freedom that He has worked into my life.
And I will not forget!
Psalm 48:1 "Great is the LORD and greatly to be praised in the city of our God!"
