Blessings
This past weekend I had the incredible opportunity to go up to Camp Forest Springs for the Oasis District Youth Retreat. God showed up in huge ways through out the whole weekend and it was an awesome time to grow closer to my friends. I am just so thankful that God has given me opportunities to go on trips like going to Spencer Lake and Oasis. There is something powerful about when teenagers gather together to get closer to God. These "getaways" have been a monumental part of my spiritual growth. I have been so fortunate that God has placed strong Christian leaders at each event to help me out. Even though technically Oasis and Summer Camp are put on by different "denominations," both places have God at the helm, and every time God shows up. Since it is so cold today I like to think about summer! And every time I think about summer, camp pops up. I know that I am very far from perfect. But I would be even farther if it was not for camp and having Pastor Matt speak to me there. Back at home, Pastor Ken has been so impacting with his leading of the youth group. I'm just amazed at how God has put events and people into my life to speak life into me and keep me going. I know this post is probably confusing, but it is just my way of saying thanks to God and the leaders that God has blessed me with. I pray that as I grow up, I can have the same impact of teenagers lives as my leaders have had on me.
God Bless,
David
