Faith, Hope, and Love.

Just a few days ago, I got back home from being a group leader at FaHoLo's Jr. High Camp. All I can coherently say, is that it was such an amazing, life altering experience. I got to spend my days with a group of 11 young ladies who were absolutely fabulous, and who I got the opportunity to invest in.

I think what my favorite part of the whole experience was, was seeing God move through those teens. There were a couple of my girls that I could tell were really going through some rough times. And through the movement of the Holy Spirit and through the words of Jason Buchan, those students were changed in some amazing ways. Especially one girl, who I could tell throughout the week had some serious self image issues, and had next to no love for herself. She even confessed to me that she had come to camp thinking that she was worthless, and there was no way Jesus could love her.

But, praise the Lord, because after an amazing night of the Word and worship, she told me that God had shown her that none of that was true. That completely melted my heart. I could see God showing to me, crystal clearly, that this is my calling. Working with teen girls like her, and showing them that Christ does love them, and that they do have worth. It's clear to me now, that the Lord has really called me to youth ministry, which is something that I never would have expected.

Honestly, I cannot wait until next year, when I will have the opportunity to do this once again. The whole experience was just awe inspiring, and I cannot wait for the Lord to use me again. Being at camp and being those girls' counselor, made me feel at home; like it was what I was supposed to be doing.
