Camp was AMAZING! I loved every minute of it! Thank you to those of you who prayed (if anyone reads this anymore...haha) because while I had a stuffy nose at times....I felt great Saturday and Sunday. Loved hanging with the leaders....they are a great group of people. On a side note....NRC is blessed with GREAT volunteers in Student Ministries.....truly amazing people....I am lucky to be in the bunch. There is so much to say about this camp...from how nice the actual facilities were....good food...great music.....great teaching.....and AMAZING students. I had a great small group of freshman and sophomore girls. I learned a lot as a small group leader and did some things I had never done. We had great talks....one girl was very new to Velocity and the "God thing"....but she grew so much in just 2 days. The band was awesome! I was blown away at how great they were. And I see these students play in Velocity all the time....but God used them and anointed them.....yeah...anointed....thats the word. Watching them play and the students worship around me just filled my heart up in huge ways. OVERFLOWING ways. I got to sing with the band on Saturday night. Such a special time for me. Relationships with those guys are major important to me....and you just grow close with people you sing or play with.....God like weaves your hearts together....it is really something I began to understand this weekend. Music moves people anyways.....but when it is God music and you are on this "journey while leading others in worship"....something happens to the people on stage.....you grow closer...you just do. I am forever thankful to God for the closeness and relationship I have with this paticular group of guys and even one that was missing from the weekend. I truly love them and want God's best for them so much. I learned a lot from Josh (the worhsip leader) and Chris (the speaker). I think the coolest part is that I have known a lot of these students since they were in 6th grade and some of them are seniors now....so to be able to still be in there lives....truly is priceless. It brings tears to my eyes just to type that. We had all the seniors come up to the front and we layed hands on them and prayed for them as this was their last trip with Velocity. It was emotional to look at them and just pray so hard for their futures and their lives. Such a privilege. I could go on and on....but I should go.....just an AMAZING weekend and even a great time at Velocity last night. I will treasure these times in my heart forever. Thank you God for helping me to go this weekend. My cup overflows.....
