Recently, I had the awesome opportunity to attend my 4th summer camp, Impact. To say I knew exactly what God had in store would be a lie (who really does anyway?) But as I looked back God showed me that the biggest changes I made in my life were almost always at camp.
It was at camp that I dedicated my life solely to God. It was at camp that I learned of my calling to be a pastor. It was at camp that I got filled with the Holy Spirit. It's obvious that camp has had a big impact (no pun intended) on my life.
This year was no different in that sense. The biggest thing to happen to me at camp this year was definitely getting baptised. I'm really surprised it took me so long, and honestly, I didn't feel any different initially. But the moment we got into worship that evening I felt more in touch with God than I ever had before. Since returning from camp I've been feeling more and more of the spirit inside me leading me as well.
God also really challenged me to castaway all the other secondary things in life and focus on him primarily. What we need to know the most is that God and his will are to be first and foremost in our lives. EVERYTHING ELSE should come second to that. That means putting down the controller or the remote and spending time with him.
Overall, God continued the tradition of changing my life at camp and setting me ablaze for the year to come!
