Camp SHINE was awesome.
Perhaps because I had completely no expectations – I was too tired and dazed from all the crying the night before. I went there empty, and just let God take over and I suppose, that’s all it took.
There was an immense presence of God’s peace throughout the camp. Not just upon me, but with the whole committee and all the counsellors.
God’s so amazing; He knows when to be harsh on us and when to be so totally sweet that it just blows you away.
The girls I took care of during the camp were so easy to handle, and I thank God! Because leading them through the 3 days brought about a leap in confidence in myself. I can do this, I can lead and I can help them encounter God in a personal manner. It felt really good knowing that my sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and His prompting is still there and that I can still receive words to pray over these girls that I either don’t know very well or didn’t know at all before the camp.
It was different at this camp, because it’s the first time all of us were attending and being counsellors for a camp that wasn’t run by people we’re familiar with. There was a different style of running the camp and although it took a little getting used to, it was all good and there was a lot to learn from them.
The camp was really healing, for both campers and counsellors.
My group was awesomeeeeezzzz. Somehow it grew from 6 campers to 10 campers by the last day?!?! HAHA. But oh man, they were really a fun bunch to be around. They’re all so teachable and open, and mature! Hee. Praise God!
The breakthroughs that were experienced throughout the 3 days as they were led through games, sermons and ministry times were nothing short of astounding. I thank God for His amazing work!
I’m soooo physically tired out from the camp because of the lack of sleep and an aching shoulder+back cos of the bed, but it’s okay! Pam’s retreat for us is this coming weekend, YAY!
AAAAND Christmas is next week.
