Thoughts on Paper

Like I said, I'm a terrible blogger. It's so much easier for me to write my soul down on paper than it is to type it out for the world to see. However, I've had quite a few life changing moments that I feel the need to share.

First off, Skyline Christian Youth Camp. A week of heat, bugs, crafts, friends, and oh yeah, the most important part - God. In all honesty, I dreaded camp. This was my first year to go as a counselor, and wasn't sure how I would adapt. Here's the little fact I was forgetting - I was at camp for a reason. God wanted me there for a reason. And I grew so much spiritually from those 4 days. So here's a huge thanks to the folks that listened to me ramble about life, the people that held me when I cried, the people that put up with me complaining, and the people that reminded me just what a true, honest Christian looks like. Y'all rock. I'm blown away by the fact that God is so real and so loving. I'm blessed beyond measure.
"Heart so hard, soul so weak. The ways of evil cut so deep. I need you Lord to come inside and gently break my heart."
I went from singing this song at the campfire to truly making it my prayer. A prayer for me to be broken down to see that I can't live this life on my own. A prayer for God to come inside and show me how much I depended on him. You know what else I was reminded? God answers prayers.
