Faith Prevails

last week i was able to go to Jonathan Creek church camp. i loved it!!!!!! the service was great! you could tell God is doing and going to do great things :). i got to do many activities i haven't done before, for example being on a boat, going tubing. belly flop in a mud pit and go mountain biking. it was all a blast and i want to thank all the youth leaders and the youth and church as a whole for everything. i enjoyed being around a bunch of people who believed in God and not having to be afraid of offending somebody and being able to talk freely about God's word. i was able to give God everything this past week especially a burden i have carried for too long. I know my God is in control and his will will be done. i love my family dearly! more than they know. I'm sure they love me to even though they do not show it very well. we've had some rough spots here and there and in the middle of it now. its been a year or two since my parents divorced, yet it still feels like it was yesterday. we haven't been a close family and it been hard. we have a lot of tension in this family, but I'm trusting God that we can work through it because he knows his plans for me. the devil has been working on us real hard, but we are going to put that devil back in his place. this is our family God's family. hopefully we can reach out to our dad and our little brother to come to church. but only God knows.  thank you all for your prayers and everything you've done to help no matter how big or small. just being here and listening has been a blessing. Thank you Lord for everything you've done and are going to do! not only in my life but everyone else as well.
