Catcha on the flipside of my skateboard.

This past week I was at our church camp, Summit Camp. I can honestly say that I really believe it was one of the most life changing things that has ever happened to me.Living without internet, your phone, or iPod may sound like death to some people but really, you don't even think about it. It's actually such a relief to not have to worry about constantly texting or calling someone, or calling your parents to tell them where you are. For a week you just let go and say "God, I'm not distracted, stressed, or worried. I'm ready to be transformed." And maybe, by some divine, undeserved reason God decides to have mercy on us and give you another chance. For once I don't want to have just changed my week. I want my whole life to be changed, because when Christ comes back and looks me in the eye and asks me if all those chances he gave me payed off, I want to be able to bow before him and say yes, should he be merciful enough to even allow me to speak in his presence, because Lord knows I don't deserve it.
Our speaker, Mike Keeahbone, was... amazing. But not until the very last night was I really floored. All week for some reason I had been dealing with jealousy. I prayed and prayed all week that God would take that away and I wouldn't have those feelings anymore. On Friday night, we went into Tabernacle, and instead of a sermon, Keeahbone had us pray and read scripture and it was just.. different. I had never seen kids my age so fearless to stand in front of a crowd and boldly read scripture that God laid on their hearts, or go to the front and pray or pray for others. It was truly inspiring. We got back to the cabin that night, and laying foot in the door, there was not an OUNCE of jealousy in my heart. God does amazing things.
That was just one of the many things God did in our group, including one very special girl being saved.

I am consumed.
