HOW TO BEGIN!??!

Well, the Youth for Christ camp in Colorado was AMAZING. I met people from all over the united states, I hiked up a mountian that was 11,000 feet above sea level and all together i think i hiked about 8 miles--UPHILL, i went horseback ridding in the mountians, went on the bloob, polar plunge water slides, go-cart racing, mountian lugeing, and much more! I had so much fun and met all kinds of people. We bunked with some girls from California and we became so close with them! I also met people from indianna, Arazonia, Montana, Illinois, ect. Kayla and i both had some creepy stalkers that kinda freeked us out but it was funny at the same time. We had crud wars, and team building activities, and a rodeo, and a disco party! ugh! i just cant get over how fun it was!

I learned so much about God that week its almost hard to express. One night as i was sitting in this amazing open feild alone and talking to God, I realized how much i missed him in my life. For the longest time ive just been doing my own thing in life and kind of shoving him out of it. I sat there on the wet grass and just cried and told him that i wanted to be his best friend, that i loved him and how sad it made me that i couldnt feel him holding me like a person holds another person. Then as i curled up into a little ball, i felt his arms around me and i was warm, then i heard him say " Thats what ive always wanted" and "i love you more". But it wasn't like a voice that you hear talking to you...it was like something that i sort of felt inside of me and just knew that it was God. He is like the wind... you cant see him but you can feel him. And that week when i looked around at the wonders that God made like the mountians or the feilds or the sunset, i just knew that he was there with me. I felt wonder and love and joy...all of those things are from God. I dont ever want him out of my life and i hope that i can live a differnt life from here on out because life is so much better with him. When im with him, my life is in love and purpose. I thought about Nick too, and i prayed so hard for him.
