Other things from camp

So it's been a few weeks since camp now, and I still feel at peace with Jesus. Ya I have messed up a little but we all do. I have been thinking about camp a lot these last few weeks and looking back on what God has done in my life. I keep thinking about my talk with Kurt, Frank, Bethny. And Miss Gina. But most of all mine and Kurts talk. After emptying my alabaster jar that night. When we had our cabin talk I shared my story and told my cabin about what my life felt like after And the next day Kurt came up to me and told me that he herd I told my story and how it was awesome and how proud of me he was, and then Miss Gina came up and gave me a huge and told me how proud she was. And I remember thinking  dose everyone know that I shared my story last night, Kurt, Miss Gina, Bryan. But I knew most of all that Jesus knew I told my story because of him. An after I did I had a lot of people tell me that they had some of the same problems of what happened to them, and asked me to pray for them. Like Kurt, Miss Gina, Frank and Bethney said You never know your story may help others see that they are not the only ones going through it if they see how your dealing with it then they can do the same and they were right . 
    Another thing that still is so moving was the last night of camp there were two days that changed my life forever. The night of mine and Kunrts talk and the service, and the last  night of camp. Before Kurt started to talk he said Everyone is gonna move tonight. There will not be one person who has not moved. There are three groups 1 The people who need to receave Christ. 2 the people who need to be baptized. And 3 the people who need Boldness. And he was right I was crying not because I was sad but because not one person rejected God. I was in the Boldness! I needed boldness to come back in this world and not be the old Hannah, but the Daughter of Jesus Hannah. When the song "lead me to the cross" played and it says ' bring me to my knees where your love poured out' for the first time in my life I dropped on my knees and prayed to God I didn't care who was around it was just God. And I. I was the last one to get up and Miss Gina found me she said I was burning up, and I honestly think it was Jesus! She asked me what was wrong and I told her that I was scared that this year would end up like all the others I would come back into reality and be the old Hannah and I emptyed my alabaster jar I didn't have it and I didn't want a new one. She understood and told me to think about what Kurt talked about boldness to be that even when things get tough. Jesus is there to lean on. And she was right. And so was Kurt. He blessed me in a big way that no one had ever I know that Jesus was working in his heart. And in mine The last day of camp In the morning we had baptisiam we baptized 40 people that morning and I think like 30 that night ( I think but it was a BIG number ) point is we had so many new brothers and sisters in Christ!  I had a friend who struggled in her life and for two years I poured Into her and guess what Kurt baptized her! And he baptized my new friends. The very first night people moved and I saw Jesus working, I still can't believe that this year was hands down the best. Not only for me but for so many others. We all are gonna have bad days and hard days but Jesus loves us guys always ask him for love for forgiveness. The day I got back from camp and I got a letter that hit me hard it felt like a bolet hit my heart and that I had a HUGE hole. And I felt betried, and I thought about camp and I didn't hurt anymore ya I felt like what I had to say didn't matter or what I felt, but I love her no matter what she did. Do I forgive her yes I do. Dose it still hurt a little now that I get letters and she talks about it ya. But I Iove her because she is a child and beautiful daughter of Christ. My sin is no better then her's to Jesus it's all the same! But remembering camp got me through to the heart. Because thinking about it staying in that point in time is what got me through it. Everyday I pray for everyone at camp. I also pray that when things get hard or when it's just a normal day that I remember my talks and how much I felt blessed  And that I am still feeling that . I love that God can take people like Kurt put them at a camp for a week and change a life in one night Jesus moves through people in so many amezing ways. I still can't thank him enough for my youth pastor Bryan, and for Miss Gina, Frank, Bethney, Kurt, Trent, my new friends, my church, and best of all Jesus Christ! If you think that this whole Christian thing isn't for you....your wrong if you give God a chance he can change for for the rest of your life. I remember Kurt saying when you get saved at the ages of 6,7,8 or even 9. You don't understand the impact that sin can have on you, and what it can really can do to you! Unlike getting saved at like 17,18 or 19 and he is right I got saved at 7 and I never knew the impact of other people's sin and my own could do. But I know that no matter what age God loves us and will NEVER leave us! You may read this and. Not feel a thing if that is the right answer then pray to God to open your heart and then read. I don't share this just to tell you what camp did for me, or what I got out of the talks I had with Everyone. I blog to share about God to tell you that he LOVES you  now more then ever. Yes there will be rough times but he is there! I don't tell you about mine and Kurt's talk just to talk about it but to tell you what God did and said through a guy who could understand me and who loves Jesus so much that he was willing to help open my eyes. Or through Miss Gina and frank and Bethney. I don't tell you just for the sake  of telling, but to show you out of Four people God said the same thing but in differnt ways that I could understand. Kurt didn't talk about our talk in his sermon to embarrass me or make me mad. He said to tell people so that they know their not the only ones who can be a light in their family or for people  who need to empty their alabaster jar. Or to hit it to me nine times as hard to really push me to want to do that. And after doing that I feel free like a HUGE weight has been lifted off that I had been caring for a long time. If Jesus can take a Rag like me and use me for something great. He can use you for something you never thought of and maybe save someone's life. That's why I blog that's why I'm sharing you my camp experience, and I prsyvthat it blesses you and tells you that you have someone there all the time
