Have you ever done something or been somewhere when you felt totally surrounded by God's presence. That's what I felt this last week when I was able to be a counselor at Summer Games University. I came back from that camp feeling loved and ready to keep worshiping. The atmosphere was amazing!! For those of you who don't know Summer Games is a church camp that for the past couple of years has taken place on a college campus. It centers around teaching youth about Jesus and His sacrifice while at the same time having fun playing sports in a christian environment. Being surrounded in a loving Christian environment helps people to feel like they can be who they are and don't have to hide their true self. Sometimes in life I think that we, especially Christians, hide who we are. It may not be on purpose but sometimes it is as if we are ashamed to speak out about our faith. I have always had a problem with being vocal about what I've believed in and instead chose to show my faith by my actions. Now it's not like that isn't a good method but sometimes it just doesn't get the point across. People in the real world might just think you are a good person and doing good works because that's who you are. They don't realize that the reason you are doing good works is to improve the kingdom of God and to show other's the love you've found in the Lord. This last week of being a counselor has really helped me to open up about my faith and to be able to talk about what I believe and I hope I can continue to keep talking through out the rest of the summer and my life after being a flood intern.
"Go and make disciples of every nation baptisizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey all I've commanded and I'll be with you until the end of the age."
Matthew 28:19-20 (The Great Commission)
