Last Night I got to perform with my friends at the church I went to camp with. I go to Mosaic church but this is covenant bible church. Keith Devine's brother Mike is the pastor of this church. This is the church my Mom amd Dad met at and fell in love. It was a lot of fun! All the teams did a wonderful job! The worship was great and they showed hundreds of pictures from camp for all the parents to see. My mom took some videos. It was a lot of fun to praise God with so many kids and grownups!
I couldn't beleive the view, it made me think I was in an incredible place. This is my fifth year going to camp. This is the first time my friends and I choose Lurecrest. There were so many different kinds of activities to do.
Each day we got up at 7am.
We had to be at breakfest by 8.
By 9:30 we were on our way to some fantastic activites!
Rock Wall: The rock wall was amazing! It was 28 feet tall. I made it about half way. That's great for me becasuse I am afraid of heights.
Leap of Faith: This was very scary. It was a pole that was 40 feet tall with a small platform on top. You had to climb up with only metal bars to use. Then you have to jump off..hooked to a harness. You have to trust your cabin mates to hold you in the air. Of course their was a counserler helping you out. I pushed myself as far as I could. I had lots of encouragement.
Zip Line: I DID IT! This is one cable, one harness, one rope and off you go! It was very high off the ground. I almost didn't do it but I am glad I did! It was so fast and so much fun. I went twice. The first time I screamed the whole time and everyone on Lake Lure could hear me. It made me feel so incredible. Like I could fly! I can't to do it again next year!
Tubeing: This was the first time I went tubeing. Luckily I got to do it with one of my best friends. I learned I have lots of upper body strength! It was so much fun and the lake was beautiful.
Chapel: This is the place with the most beautiful view especially at sunset.
The worship here is awesome. The messages of God's love are incredible.
It was all about keeping your faith to stand firm for what you beleive.
Every night we did a game. The first night was a challenge game. The rest of the time we played The Price Is Right. Nicole and Rebecca and Katlin all played. It was fun watching rebecca scream when she was called to "Come on Down your the next contestant on the price is right"
Drama: We all did parts of skits and we also made a Dramatic Dance to the song "Peace Be Still" It was awesome to be part of so many kids praising and singing to God all at the same time.
I learned that it is sometimes hard to make the right choice but when you do...your faith gets stronger and stronger and stronger. I volunteered to be a prayer leader. I saw a girl crying and a part of me said to go pray with her and a part of me didn't because I didn't know who she was. But I listened to what I felt was right and it was. I prayed with her and she said she felt a lot better than she did. It was amazing to have God use you to touch some bodys life.
I think I came to know God better than I did before.
That's my experience at camp lurecrest. I want to be a counserler when I turm 18. That would be a great way for me to serve God.
My Nana is very special to me! She was the first person I crawled to and walked to. She has been there for me when I was feeling down. I always know that I can count on her. My Nana makes me laugh:)
Nana gives the best Hugs! She still calls me her angel even when I do something wrong. My Nana is the coolest grandmother I have ever met.
I like to visit my Nana and Pappy. I have to make sure I visit often or I would go out of my mind missing them.
My Nana makes me feel confident in myself when I am going through something yucky!
My Nana still plays tickel monster with me. We go out for a girls night together. She takes me to get my nails done...even though I really don't have any nails. We go shopping together. I don't love her because she always does this for me. I love her most because she is sweet, caring and I know she will always be there for me!
