camp.

camp.
wow.
changed my life.
i just got home and i want to go back.
yes. i am more tired and gross than i have EVER been. yes. cody is amazing. but this week was so much more than cody spiders obnoxious children and serious sleep deprivation.
i have NEVER in my LIFE seen so much love for Jesus in one camp. the love those kids have for Jesus is absolutely astonishing. those kids gave me goose bumps. when we were singing rock of ages and we were in front of those kids seeing all those kids sweating and singing and dancing to jesus made me feel soo absolutely amazing. there was a little girl i was talking to and we were talking about Jesus and what he did for all of us and the way her face lit up and just being able to tell her about him was the most AMAZING feeling in the WHOLE world.
this made me think about my life.
no my life is not perfect. i am soo far from living the life i want its ridiculous. this week listening to heather and bret talk about what they do really hit me. i have decided to look into being a missionary. i want to go to france and europe and make my life as a missionary. the song love them like jesus really makes me cry. there are so many people in the world who need and want to be loved. jesus loves us all and we all should love each other like jesus. i want to tell the world about what he did and how amazing it is. i want to share him with everyone i know. i want to share my love for him the best way i know how to. what heather and bret do blows my mind. and i admire them so much. i think its what God wants me to do. for him. my love for him is so much more this week. even though the week was on a middler level i took so much away from it.
leaving camp was the hardest thing in the world. saying goodbye to those kids and not knowing what they are going home to or if they will make it through to next year or be allowed to come back breaks my heart. and i know some of them are going to go and tell their friends and share him with everyone they know. all of those kids have the potential to do amazing things for Jesus.

Lord of all creation holds our lives in His hands
The God of all the nations holds our lives in His hands
The Rock of our salvation holds our lives in His hands
He cares for them just as He cares for you
So love them like Jesus, love them like Jesus
You don’t need the answers to all of life’s questions
Just know that He loves them and stay by their side
Love them like JesusLove them like Jesus

thats all it takes. love them like Jesus.

Because he has been a major part of your life, of courseyou'll miss him; it's perfectly normal. It's like getting atooth pulled out; after the dentist pulls it out you'rerelieved. But how many times does your tongue runitself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probablya hundred times a day. Just because it was hurting youdoes not mean you don't notice it. It leaves a gap, &sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It's goingto take awhile, but it takes time. Should you have keptthe tooth? No, because it was causing you pain. Pullingthe tooth was the right decision, but it's going to hurt.


summer '07 :]
