Rise Above

The summer is in full swing and that's means Master's Camp in Leaky, Tx!!! This year were expecting anywhere from 18 to 20 students attending. Which, by the way is simply AWESOME! We've got new and old faces going this year so I can't wait to see what God is going to do in every one's lives. You know, I love the memories from the previous years at camp, both the good and bad. Yes, there can be those issues at camp than can be both challenging and encouraging and you just learn from them. The time we spend with student's for a whole week is simply a blessing and I cherish every moment of it. From activities, to eating at the cafeteria, to worship in the tabernacle. Every part of this experience is precious to me and that's the truth! It's June already and next month is camp, it came up so fast it seems, but I guess it always feels that way. My prayers and thoughts go out to every teenager that attends camp this year, that God would break all barriers that can hinder students from experiencing God in a Real and Personal way! It's time to encourage this generation to rise above any issues that press down on them. God is BIGGER than any of those thing's and can work thing's out for good. I love what this Sundays One Prayer message talked about. Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church said in his message..."God takes those thing's out of your life whatever it may be, only to replace it with something even better!" That is so true in our lives. God is not against us, but for us! How sweet is that? There are always better thing's that God wants to give us. Especially when we have those issues in our lives both teenagers or adults that are not for God. We know what they are and God does too. We all have them, yet at the same time we also have the power to rise above those issues that tells us otherwise, but only if we put our trust in the Creator Jesus Christ alone and nothing else. RISE!!! Teenagers need to know this and understand it with clarity and confidence and so do we as adults. Master's Camp...here we come!!!Peace out...
