It's been a while since I wrote my last post... Apologies for the delay, but I also have a reason.
Recently I went to a church summer camp. And before you go "oh... just another camper spreading his Jesus around" let me tell you about it.
Camps like this one have been a part of my life ever since... well for as long as I can remember. And every camp is different, and a few of them have changed my life.
This one has.
Camp this year was an escape for me. Things weren't going well at home, my social life was... well... pretty much one big lie. And on and on. So I went on a drive with my Youth Group, and 2 hours later the world was left behind us. Breathe in, breathe out. We're at camp and nothing can touch me. Or so I thought.
But God had other plans. He was going to show several things. First, that He Loves me literally beyond human comprehension. He showed how much He loves me (by the way... I have not an exactly.... "christian" life) on the first night. And it knocked me to my knees and stole my breathe away. I rededicated myself to Him that night. After that, every lesson was an eye opener for the things I've been doing wrong, and what I had to do to get my life back in line. Well... on day 4 He told me that it was time to give all of myself, or live apart from Him... And trust me.... I did NOT want to do either....
Because, you see... The part I was holding back... was my girlfriend... And I Love her more than the usual I love you that bf/gf's exchange.
So... literally heart broken, I gave up. I gave God everything I had to give Him. Which leaves me with nothing. But you know... I'm glad to give it to Him. Because in His hands things always come out better than anything I can do on my own. And He doesn't take away what you have and literally leave you with nothing. He gives it all back... 1000 times greater than ever before.
It might be a while before I get her back. But in the meantime, I have God, and He's gonna get me through any pain, any trouble, any obstacle life throws at me. Until the day that I am the man He wants me to be.
And that day.... I can't wait to see :)
