Soaked

Hello again!

What can I say? Camp is good. God is moving. And we are all enjoying the camp high. I know, I know. Some people view the term "camp high" as negative or as a term that only makes camp seem to be an experience rather than an encounter. But, I'm here to tell you that they are one in the same. I was thinking about this yestereday. Not only our adults but our students as well, have crazy lives that are filled to the top with overwhelming happenings. We get so bogged down by the storms of life and sometimes it is hard to focus on how much our Savior deserves our praise. At the creek our students (and adults) get to get away from the hustle and bustle of life and have the opportunity to get so high on Christ and His Spirit that our experience becomes an encounter. The Creek offers our students a break from the stresses of life while being 'soaked' in the grace and glory of God.

Soaked. This was our main idea yesterday. Being soaked in God's grace. What a beautiful picture, to actually be drenched in the Holy Spirit. To be drenched in the Grace and Forgiveness of our Holy God. WOW. Ironically enough, during our church group time last night while we were worshiping Jesus, it poured rain. I'll be honest, I did not want to be soaked by the earthly rain however, I was reminded how much I need and want to be soaked by Grace. I believe that our students our yearning for this as well.

It's so hard to try to get all of you to understand what camp is like. I wish all of you could be here to experience and encounter God with your students. Just know that your students are being taken care of and please please please pray for big things! Ask God to work in ways that we couldn't even fathom. Ask God to get our youth group so high off of the Spirit that they are dreaming big and seeing things in a new way.

Get ready for tomorrow. There are some exciting things that I cannot wait to share with you.
Until then...PRAY.
