Camp WOW: Experience 3

So for my final experience, I'm going to take you to the 2nd to last DAY of camp, leading up the last night. We were down by the lake, having our cardboard boat races when Ketric comes up to me. I hadn't seen him all week, because he was with mid high, and he wanted to talk. So we went on up to the cafeteria and chatted about camp, and some things that have gone on in my life recently. I thought it was a chat, but then he wanted me to do something for the service.


So I went early and talked to the head guy in charge of running the experiences at night, and apparently I was chosen from the Edmond campus to be part of it. There were 12 other kids there too. Now, when I learned what I was going to get to do, to be honest I was REALLY excited. You see, that night they wanted to do a "cardboard testimony" thing to the song "Jesus Paid It All." (Great song.) So, they handed me a posterboard and a marker, and said "tell YOUR story." On one side, it was your story before you saw Jesus, and on the other it was how He came into the situation.


So, I immediately knew what my story would be. That is, my parents splitting this year and me having to endure that. On the "negative" side of my board, I wrote "Seeing parents split", on the flip side, aka Jesus side, I wrote "seeking Heavenly Father." So the night came, and it was time for me to stand in front of 700 people and share my testimony. I walked on stage, and as I flipped that sign, and heard all the cheering for Jesus, it hit me. HE IS THE ANSWER TO MY STRUGGLES AND THE THINGS THE DEVIL HAS PUT INTO MY LIFE. That night was so empowering, and I loved helping others with my story.


So now I have to ask you, what's your story? If you could tell one issue that goes on in your life, what would it be? What would the flip side aka Jesus side say? Or would it be blank as to where you are right now? Are you not SEEING Jesus in the situation? Well He's always there, you just have to seek Him. Mark 7:7.
