Thank God

My last Senior High Camp started out looking like it would be the worst Senior High Camp ever. (Thanks Shane for talking me out of it.) And in ways it was. I questioned myself and others a lot this past week. But God always reminded me that the was there, by my side no mater what the circumstance. He also reminded me that when I am ready to freeze up, it is time to defrag- put things back together, prioritize, and rid myself of the things that are separating me from Him. Thursday night had to be one of the most powerful night I have ever experinced at Chambers. Pastor Ken Klien challenged us to "On Belay Jesus." Take our carabieners off the safety and climb higher to Him. It was so poetic considering the drastic change in a month and a half that will occur. Taking the saftey of home, Bentley Creek, and Chambers away and moving 10 hours away to IWU. It moved me...it moved many people. I don't think I will ever forget Pastor Ken. He had a HUGE impact on my life. I know that Pastor Jim Ketchum will probally never read this, but his seminar was amazing. It so spoke to me and how I was feeling. I have never had a seminar bring me to a point of total shock of how much one man can pin point my exact feelings. If no one else that seminar was meant for me at that exact time. Thank you Father for your perfect timing. Though the stuff before hand is the things that really matter when you attend Senior High, it is the little fun moments that bring the smile to me. Like when I found out that Jess Aeppli was my counselar, when Josh asked me to be on his intermural soccer team at IWU (we'll see how that turns out), when the Red team beat the Green Team in basketball, Romeo and Juliet, flour turning to dough in my mouth, "I AM BATMAN!!!!", where is Maryland, singing in the shower with Amber, and so many others. I think the most wonderful moment that was not spiritual for me was when Kaylyn found out that she got into IWU for the Fall term. She cried, I cried...I knew how much that meant for her. And I couldn't imagine going to IWU without her in August. It was the best. Thank God for a wonderful week. Thank God for moving in a spiritually numb girl. Thank God for His perfect timing. Thank God...
