God is Amazing

First, let me start off by saying God is so amazing. This was my first time going to UED VBS camp and wow, what a blessing it was. I been wanting to go for the past month and just praying about it but because of summer school, I wasn't too sure. I was able to talk to my professor and in the end, he allowed me to skip class and make up my in class essay another day. Thank you God for answering my prayers. Well on Wednesday, I drove up to Alpine Conference Center alone after class. Oh yeah, in the morning, one of my students who I was going to be with during VBS camp called me to see if I was coming. I was so happy to get a call from my student just so he can check up on me to see if I was really coming or not. That really made my day, and I was so happy. The drive was long but as I was driving up the mountain, I looked over to see the wonderful scenery. God created all this. He created the mountains, the oceans, everything in this world. I don't know what to say but man, God, you are so awesome. Well I arrived and unpacked my stuff in the cabin. It was dinner time and so, we ate. Well after that was service and we all went inside the chapel. What was so amazing was during praise, you see kids just praising God with all their hearts. Hands up in the air just singing their hearts out. I was so touched, so blessed to see how much they loved God. I felt that God's presence was there moving within everyone. Man it felt so amazing!!!! The theme of this camp was "Live Out Loud" by the way. It was so much fun just singing, and praising God. I looked around to see the kids just singing loudly and not caring what others around them thought. Man, praise was beautiful, seriously no words can describe how wonderful it was. Well during message, Pastor Howard spoke for us and the kids loved him. I've heard pastor Howard speak before and hes such an amazing preacher, hes so funny and can preach well too. During the message I saw, including my students, everyone just locked on to pastor Howard as he was speaking. Seriously, I think every kid there loved him and paid attention very well. Everyone got involved when pastor Howard would ask questions to the kids. Many kids would raise their hands to answer which I thought was great. After the message, we went back to our cabins. Just to let you know, theres a lot of mosquito's and well, we got invaded. Someone in our cabin forgot to close the door quickly and well, a big fat mosquito came inside our cabin and thats when all my kids went crazy mode. We all screamed so loud and came together in a circle because we got scared. I know, I'm a 20 year old screaming because of a mosquito how sad huh? Well we started laughing so hard and I forgot who, but one of the kids was brave enough to go run to his bag to get a bug repellent. Well guess what, that doesn't do anything but make things worse. As one of my kid's sprayed it, it got all over our eyes and inside our mouths so we started screaming even more. Yes, we were going even crazier. The mosquito kept flying away and we kept running. Well eventually, it hid from us to where, we couldn't even find it so we just gave up. Well, one of my kids got scared because he thought it went inside his mouth, oh boy, more craziness haha. The funny part was that, we actually slept pretty early. I got some good sleep. Of course we shared stuff and I did my qt before bed. Next day, pretty much the same, woke up small group and breakfast. Then we went to go worship and yet again, it was amazing. Another wonderful praise in the morning, how great it is to start your day just praising God like how we praised! OH MAN IT WAS SERIOUSLY SO AMAZING!!! Ok, I'm getting sleepy, well as the day went on, everything went great. It was our last night and our last message at night. Of course it went well and each group went up to do skits. One thing I really prayed throughout this VBS was that, when kids go back home, they wouldn't go back to their old selves but go home as a new person? I prayed that God would really use every single one of us, that when we go home, we wouldn't be the same person as before. I prayed that we would we all make a choice, a decision before this VBS ended. I really feel that these kids will do great things in life. Their young and just seeing them praising with their hearts out, I really believe their going to grow to become wonderful men/women of God. Their going to do great things in life, I just know it. Imagine, just seeing these kids praising and worshiping God like this at a young age, they have so much potential. As they get older and older, their faith will only grow stronger and stronger. As they continue to live for God, great things are to come. Through the messages and everything I saw and felt, I realized how much patience I need in God. Even though you may live a life always doing great things and nothing good comes your way, be patience. God will always reward you in time. All the good things you do in life but yet, you find that it some how hurts you, you have to stay strong. Yes there will be times in life where you do something good but it backfires on you and you get into some kind of trouble. Don't feel bad, don't feel discouraged, but trust God for he will remember. Pastor Howard talked about that his message about doing good things but that good thing turns out to be bad for you. Well now I'm so sleepy, my eyes are dying on me. Vbs overall was amazing like I said a million times. I loved it so much. I love my students and just seeing some there, I was so happy. Goodnight.
