How did it go down?

Intro intro intro . . how do i intro this?. . . umm.... i got no ideas. . .

For a while I've been talkin/prayin about getting involved with some youth. . .

On thursday morning I got a call from CM asking if I could go to Big Stuf camp on Sat. mornin. I replied that I would have to see if I could get off work, and I would let him know. Soon after I'm in my boss's office asking permission, and next thing i know, im on a bus with 50 people. . . out of which i called 2 friends. Feeling a little worried I took my seat, only knowing my two people. Didn't know what to expect, what to think, or anything. But, I knew God wanted me there!

I grew up going to camp, so i kinda had an idea of what was going to happen. 5 years ago, I had fully submitted my life to Jesus on the exact same beach less than a mile away! So, coming back always hits a soft spot in my heart.

Soon after we arrived I was able to start getting to know the men in my room and everyone else! I have to pause here for a moment and give props to my brothers and sisters I was priviledged to be with this week. You guys were simply amazing! You have impacted my life in a positive way, and I want you to know that i appreciate it! By allowing God to work in your life, he worked in mine! I can not wait to continue being around, and doing anything I'm given the chance to do with you guys. I can't wait to watch God continue to work in your lives like i watched Him this last week! I want the ones who went on Big Stuf to feel loved when they read this Blog because YOU are loved! YOU GUYS ROCK!

So to sum up the rest of Big Stuf, I was able to worship like crazy! Never before have i been able to dance in worship of my God like i did. I was able to learn. I was able to marvel at God creation (the ocean). I was able to have fun and make new friends. When i boarded the bus to come home, i had a few more than 2 friends! (Praise God) But most importantly I was able to be a part of something amazing. God working in the lives of the awesome youth of BABC!

I write this Blog with a thankful heart. Jesus really showed Himself this week! I've only been back for a few hours so i haven't had time to process it all yet! But God is doing something major, and im pumped to be a part of it!

So that was Big Stuf, and the big impact it had on me! The blue bracelet on my left arm now serves as a reminder of the way God showed Himself to us!

So whats next? Ill tell you. Take Matthew 28:19 to heart, and GO INVITE EVERYONE GOD PUTS IN YOUR PATH TO THE PARTY! Cause it's gonna be awesome and nothing else is worth living your life for! Don't believe the illusions of this world, seek after your father in heaven as number one in your life and let Him use you!
