Youth Camp

We left Alva, Ok Monday morning heading to Turner Falls youth camp. We arrived and all the students were ready to see what God was going to do this week. The first night God showed up and the alters were flooded with students. God moved every night last week and it was amazing to see his hand working on this generation. After leaving I asked what was their favorite part of camp, and they all said it was the services.
Youth camp is a great thing, and I really believe that God changes lives and students find a purpose for life there. But a lot of the time they will come back to the "real world" and start living the same life as before this amazing week of services.
We do the same a lot of times, we will go to church on Sunday and Wednesday and God will show up and it will be awesome, but the rest of the week we are kinda in our "this is the real world" routine and never let really let God change things in our lives.
Our relationship with Jesus is exactly were we want it to be. Because He already did everything to reach out to us. So many times we push Jesus away from us with all the other "real world" things that take up most of our lives.... when the truth is that Jesus wants to impact our "real world" with the Kingdom of God.

God Bless
