HELLO! Today was the last day of BigStuf camps! It was an amazing week! But
before I tell you about BigStuf I have to tell you about JH Ranch.
JH Ranch
Let me first start by saying it was the best week and experience of my life! I was SO nervous going in because I had never been there before. But as soon as I got there I felt welcomed. All the staff was so friendly! You could tell they really loved what they were doing.
When I got there on Sunday I met the most amazing group of girls (I could not have asked for a better group). There was not a single moment of tension, or drama, or anything like that, which I can say is a pretty sweet accomplishment for eight girls SHARING ONE BATHROOM for a whole week.
All through out the week we did things like sleep out under the stars, go white water rafting, do high ropes courses, low ropes courses, jump off a waterfall, eat ice cream, have random dance parties and worship the same amazing God.
I am so grateful for the time I got to spend with my dad and the time I got to spend on a adventure with him. He helped me do things I never EVER thought I would do in million years! I enjoyed building a even stronger relationship with him.
I also got to build my relationship with my Heavenly Father. I enjoyed learning about Him in new ways and singing new songs to Him.
BigStuf Camp
So, Sunday, July 7, I left JH at 3:30 am for a exciting day of flying. I got back to good ole Dothan, AL at 7:45 pm Sunday night. I got to my home, washed clothes, threw them in a bag, and left for BigStuf with Wiregrass at 2:00 the next day.
I`m not going to lie to you, I was SO exhausted. I felt dead. Which isn`t a great way to start off a week when you knew you were going to be getting less sleep than you did the previous week.
Plus I was kinda stopped up (I`m blaming the long flights for my excessive tissue buying). So I got there and I had the mind set that it was not going to be as good as JH and I won`t have a good time. Boy, was I wrong.
It was a most amazing week. It was just me, Gabby and Faith in my small group. So we got to hang out with the senior girls which I did NOT have a problem with.
Our hosts for the week were Tripp and Tyler and they were so hilarious. Our speakers for the week were Jon Acuff, and Jamie Dickens. Who were also, might I add, HILARIOUS (and very truthful). Our worship leaders were Chris Coleman, Chris Cauley and Chrystina Fincher who were amazing.
One of the most important things that I learned this past week is that what God sees is bigger than what I see, and that God`s reality needs to be my reality.
I heard and I forgot, I saw and I remembered, I did, and I understood.
