I've written before about Camp Hollymont, where I go in the summertime. It's a truly amazing place. I could just rant forever and ever about how crazy awesome it is, but I won't bore you with that. Instead I'll bore you with one reason why it rocks. One of the first nights I was there this year I was hanging out with a couple of counselors talking about God and such (another reason this place is cool). While I was listening to one girl tell her story it hit me that every single person there is a mess in some form or fashion. Every one of them is broken or screwed up or insecure in one way or another, and they all seem to be so okay with it. Hearing these wonderful ladies talk about their trials and the things they struggle with, always going back to God and what he's done/is doing through that is so uplifting. Witnessing that kind of faith and glory-be-to-God attitude has really stuck with me. The Lord is working through that camp, FO SHO.
How about another camp story?
I was a CIT on what we call Cardinal Hall, which is 11-12 year old girls. One night we were on the bus going to the brother camp, Rockmont, and the girls were singing. We had been singing Our God by Chris Tomlin in Morning Watch (Chapel) so they started on that one. They kept getting louder and louder so by the time they had gotten to "And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us..." I had to turn around and look. My view at that point = AMAZING. 11 and 12 year old girls had their hands in the air and their eyes shut worshiping their God...on a school bus!!! That's incredible to me. I want to be as cool as them someday.
There's my stories for the night. Jesus rocks. The end.
