High School Camp

This past week was incredible. I had the privilege of spending the week with eight girls from LA who all attend youth group at the World Impact Teen Center, Kaleo.

This past week, we had incredible amounts of fun. This was most definitely one of the weeks of my life I laughed the most in.

These girls are amazing. The majority of the girls are going into their senior year of high school. It was wonderful to have conversations about college, the future, life call, and God's direction with many of these girls. I also got the chance to talk and pray with girls about real struggles with self-image, abandonment, and abuse.

Thursday night after the big party where we got down on the dance floor and rocked Karaoke, we had an awesome cabin devotional time. We spent 2.5 hours praying for and encouraging one another. What a blessing to know these girls will return and have each other to support each other, as well as their incredible youth leader Sheila who co-counseled with me for the week.

On Friday when we said goodbye we exchanged hugs and tears. I'm asking God for the opportunity to see some of those girls again sometime.

God is good.
