hey everyone! wow it is so good to be home!! well i finally got the pictures on the computer and thought i would put some on here!!!

well camp was awesome as always...the theme of the week was "Home Makeover.. Life Edition" i was so excited to go! it was a geat opportunity to get in a place where your surrounded by God 24/7! well day before we were to leave my pastor said something that just stuck out in my head all week at camp.. "Take everything to the next level, Stay focused, Live for the Lord. Have a Bright Future...God loves you just the way you are but he refuses to keep you that way." wow this was when i totally knew i was going to get something BIG out of camp!! our speaker was Saun Sears and he just did an awesome job speaking to us, his messages were so clear and he put it into words were we could truely understand the message. it was great! some of our lessons we  learned were how to be a person of influence (1 Peter 2:9) and going down the right path in your life(Psalms 32:8) *exactly what i needed to be learning!  so the last night of camp we learned about making Godly choices and afterwords Saun says, "YOU CAN BE CONTENT WITH ANYTHING BUT ONLY TRUELY HAPPY WITH GOD." wow this is so true so many times do i put things in front of God and where he wants me to be thinking it will all make me happy when in actuality it dosent. so at that moment i made a decision to live my life 100% for God and to live out HIS plan for my life...not my own and also to have every aspect of my life to glorify God. well i would say i had an AMAZING week at camp!!

this was the band that was there! they were so good!!
