As girls it’s very easy to be sucked into the world. Social
media, friendships, relationships, etc. all consume our lives on a day-to-day
basis. We wake up in the morning and look at our phones, hoping for that sweet
good morning text or seeing what’s new on Twitter. Then we spend a good amount
of time showering, fixing our hair, doing our makeup, and picking out the
perfect outfit. After we have made sure that we look our best, we rush off to
school or work or to hang out with our friends. Where in our day have we set
aside time for our Creator? Maybe you sneak in a few minutes of Bible reading
or prayer before practice or before you fall asleep, but do you purposefully
and consistently set aside time to be with the Lord? Well, for five days that
time is built into your daily schedule for you. I think you know what I’m
talking about: CAMP! This is a time that allows you to put down the flat iron and
the cell phone and pick up the Word. CAMP is a great time to detox from the
stresses of the world and just BE with Jesus. We take five days to step back
from life and experience God. Windermere provides a gorgeous backdrop for quiet
time, rec, and boating. Sam Bhatt will be bringing the message each night and
Tyler Batten and his band will lead us in worship. CAMP is an incredibly
awesome time to continue growing in your faith, or maybe rediscover the God you
used to know. I promise that if you are willing to take a break from the world
for five days, God will show you some incredible things.
