And the feeling floods back in. The feeling that you feel when you are there, at camp. the feeling the you have for 2 weeks after camp, but it fades away. The closeness to God that seems like it can only come then.
I am nearly brought to tears thinking about it. It is in moments like those that i know, without a single doubt, that God is real, and that he holds me in His hand. But it doesn't happen often. And rarely outside of camp.
I can feel god here. With me. Right now, as I type this, and I know that I have so much to look forward to in life, because I know he is here. Because I know that he has given me these moments, and that they aren't tied only to these times, but can happen at any time. Like now, just laying in my bed, doing nothing of importance, when God brings it to the surface.
If you've ever been to a camp like this before, you know what Im talking about. So join me. Close your eyes, and remember. Put yourself in the situation again, when all that matters is you and God, because thats all that matters to anyone at that moment. Let yourself be taken away by him, and by his love. Remember that feeling, and know that, no matter what, he can give it to you.
Father, i pray that you let me feel this constantly. That these next few weeks before camp are filled with moments like this. Moments that i know you are here. Moments that remind me of your greatness, even when nothing else is happening.
I love you, Father God, and i can feel your love for me now.
