So it is about time that I started posting some stories on what all went down at camp.
I have to say I went down there expecting something totally different than what I got.
I was really expecting nothing special just getting to know our squad and be put into teams.
Can someone say reality check?
I went head first into what God really has for me. What he has for all His children.
The first day I had doubt and fear that this was not what I was supposed to do.
I felt like something was pulling me away. Then Monday night, what a NIGHT!!!
We had Jonathan David Helser leading worship. We worshiped for FOUR hours straight!!!!
We were singing, dancing and crying out to God all night.
I was broken down. In the first half we prayed for God to break down our walls.
To remove anything that was keeping us from Him. He moved.
The Holy Spirit came down and broke all my walls, removed all my chains.
I was broken with my hands raised as high as they could go. It was the first time I cried in public.
The best part was in that brokenness I felt love like I have never felt before.
I felt the burden lift off of me. I felt the hand of God reach down and embrace me.
The Holy Spirit invaded that whole mountain that night!
I walked up to the front of the pavilion and danced.
I cried out with Joy and thanks to God. I finally truly surrendered to God.
It was like God hit the reset button on my soul. I was baptized in Christ’s love that night.
I will never be the same. Now I can only imagine what eleven months will do.
One night we were asked to lead worship. I secretly love to sing.
One thing that God was putting on my heart was to step out, and step up.
So I took part in leading worship. We sang with all of our hearts.
As some stepped away during the songs, I was left up there with my friend Kameron.
I sang with everything in my heart.
The next day I was talking to some squad mates about it.
Turns out I can sing pretty well. Everyone said that “You where amazing”
I never knew I could sing well.
I learned that you will never know what your gifts are until you step up and try.
Don’t be afraid of what people may think. Don’t fear, God does not allow a spirit of fear.
I will post some more within the next few hours and days.
