Winter Retreat '09

wow i cant believe im a senior, and this year at winter camp was my last year. this year i resolved to get to kno some of the younger girls and encourage them. its always so kool wen someone older than u is willing to hang out with u and just talk to u. so i asked one of the leaders to keep me accountable and make sure i followed thro with my plan since its out of my comfort zone and easy to shrink back away. it was a great experience, i met new people and got to kno others better. played foosball, ping pong, and shuffle board with some jr high girls. ate dinner with freshmen and sophmores and just kinda floated around talking to everyone instead of sticking to the people im comfortable with. one night we all prayed for this girl that iv known a while and has been in my GO Club. i never knew her that well but i kno she faces a lot of struggles. we all got in a circle and laid hands on her and prayed. later she came and found me and gave me a big hug and thanked me for praying for her and encouraging her. i was so touched by her testimony and i pray that God gives me more oppurtunities like this.
