Kansas Camp!!!

Ok Freedom 7! Finally, live from Ark City, Kansas, here's the news of how things are going here at Camp Horizon! :) As Hayley mentioned, we had an incredibly long 17-hour drive here on Sunday. Yes, this was exhausting.... yes, we pretty much fell in our beds when we got to our rooms! lol

MONDAY
It was very evident from the first worship service that God is doing and is continuing to do awesome things here at the camp. Monday night, PW preached from Mark 10:46 with the story of blind Bartemaeus. He brought out three main things that we must do when we feel stuck in a situation whether that be a bondage of sin or being a victim of some sort:

#1- We have to REALIZE WHO WE ARE IN GOD! Jeremiah 29:11 says God has plans for us to prosper us & not harm us, to give us a hope & a future! Start looking at yourself the way God sees you!

#2- We have to OPEN OUR MOUTH! Speak those things that God has told you to speak! Some of you are one cry away from being free!

#3- DON'T LET PEOPLE STOP YOU! If we allow ourselves to be consumed by other people's opinions of us, we cannot be what God has called us to be. In some cases, you may even need to separate yourself from certain people to focus on God.

PW gave the altar call & it was unbelievable how God was moving! Many girls & guys came to the altar to surrender everything to God & put their situations in God's hands! It was as if the Lord was dealing with every single heart to not let their lives be centered around what they have done or what has been done to them, but to be centered around who God has called them to be!

After service, we had Fun Time which was led by several F7 leaders: Jessica, Abby, Alisha, & Ray with PW. We had a great time in the Battle of the Sexes with the boys leading at the end of the night. Something a bit interesting is that we had random smack talk questions for each side to answer to gain points for their team. One of the smack questions PW asked was (to the girls) "Why should a guy want to date me?" & (to the guys) "Why should a girl want to date me?" The guys discussed amongst themselves & said "Because we're made in the image of God." But the girls put the smack down with their reply from Proverbs 31 "Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God. Give her everything she deserves!" (The Message) Woohoo! Go girls!!
