session one girls camp 2012. wow.
This is one of those times where I wish I could take you on a journey into what I have experienced this past week because I know that no matter how well I articulate, I will never be able to accurately describe what this week has been like...
I had 5 girls between 14 and 16 years old and they were so great, beautiful young women who I am so blessed to have got to spend the week with. I could feel the Spirit of God working in all of us all week to create something wonderful. We did everything from painting my face with stickers and felt pens, to standing around the fire, arms held high in worship to the One who loves us. From shouting so loud that Boys camp radios to see what's happening, to laying on the docks under the stars in silent awe of creation. From painting horses then swimming with them, to dancing around the dining room, jumping and twirling with joy that we are children of God.
This afternoon there is no girls, so the staff get the afternoon and evening off then new girls come tomorrow.But today I went up in the tree house by myself and was praying and just lying under the trees breathing deeper than I have all week, and God broke me all over again with the realisation that I know nothing at all about His Love. That His love is fierce and furious and He longs for me and I barely understand any of it... But I will rest in that. This is where I belong. I am Abbas' child.
