We just got back from an amazing week at Mt. Hope Bible Camp.  Their website was/is hideous, but the camp was awesome to the core.  The staff was awesome, the food was awesome, the grounds were awesome, and the weather was awesome.  The week was incredible.  God moved in ways that only seem to happen at camp.  We had a ton of fun, and not enough pictures because we lost our camera battery charger. (I think Bella hid it in some clever spot)  We did get a few pictures from the ybod games, and you can see those at the bottom of the post.

One of the incredible things that I got to be a part of this week was speaking.  It was my first time speaking at a camp for a chapel service, and God moved in such an incredible way.  I am so humbled to be able to speak into so many kids lives.  God gave me the topic and the idea and the words and stirred up a crazy fire in me where I was really dying for these students to know what God had done in me.  All of it was through Jesus and what He said and did, and the theme was so contagious throughout the week that by the time I got to speak on Wednesday night, the students were incredibly eager.

The theme was I Am Second, based on the website where people offer their testimonies about why God is first and they are second.  I found myself returning to a Steven Furtick quote all throughout prepping for this sermon, right up to the point of praying before chapel started.

I will see God wring glory from my life, some where, some way, some how.

I feel like God really started to wring my life that night, and thanks to Abe and Kyle, I can now share the mp3 with you.  A few people have already told me that they wanted to hear this, and I am more than happy to share it.  For those of you that prayed for us while we were gone, thank you so much.  God set kids free in ways that they didn’t even know they were trapped.  It was a beautiful week.

Here is the audio from the sermon.  It’s called 5 Frogs on a Log.
