Wow it has been a while since I have posted anything on the blog, I thought I had a cool little routine down, but just like all the other routines I have had….well nevermind. You know when I was a in grade school summer couldn’t get here fast enough, as a speaker and youth camp coordinator summer comes way to F-A-S-T. I am writing from out first summer camp for the year, and although numbers are a little low we are seeing God impact the lives of the kids here in West Texas. Campamento West Texas is hosted by the Plains Baptist assembly, in Floydada, Texas, and is where I came to camp when I was 13 yrs. old. I am a whole lot older now (32), but it is so cool to see that although so much has changed, still so much hasn’t. The way God impacts lives is still the same, sometimes I catch myself trying to be super innovative or trying to keep up with all the cool trends all the big churches or big camps are doing. Campamento West Texas has reminded me why God put “Simplicity” on my heart to be our theme…all we truly need is Jesus. The Speaker for this camp is Carlos Lopez and he isn’t a flashy speaker, in fact he may be a little boring (just hold on Carlos I am trying to make a point) but he is bringing God’s simple, powerful, life impacting word, and you that is enough. To see the way the campers are responding can only be described as Divine. I thank God for reminding me that all we truly need is Him, and everything else will fall into place. Although summer came in a hurry I can’t wait to see how God will use this time to impact lives including the one on this side of the computer. Hope to keep blogging throughout the summer, but you know how I do with routines!
