As we are back now from Beach Camp and I reflect on what God did, I am blown away! He surpassed anything that April and I were even thinking would happen (Eph 3:20)...We saw the hand of God from the beginning in that Dave and Dan had such servants hearts in assisting and being present throughout the camp to bless and love on you guys!...The messages during the whole camp were not only challenging but were just what everyone needed to hear in that moment!...Both Pastors who came to share with us texted me following the camp and said thank you to us for feeling loved by CYA and how they we blessed to see young people serving and living for the Lord! The bonding amongst the group was neat! We saw new people in the group make connections with everyone that made them feel loved and accepted into a new family of friends! The fellowship as a whole was incredible! From the games, to water play and surfing, to the sharing and times of worship and gathering around the bonfire, the memories are very special! An finally, on Sunday our last day we concluded the retreat by remembering what Jesus did for you and me on the cross as we took communion together and were washed and cleansed by his blood that was poured out for us! This is why we get away and retreat with one another and the Lord! It's to be reminded of walking in live toward him and each other...It's to bond and unite our hearts one to another as family...Also, it's to get right with God and get a tune-up spiritually so that we can be come back being a pleasing odor to our father! That's what made this Beach Camp the best one so far! We met with God and he did all the work and refined us all into his holy children! Thank you Jesus, for making this another "Sweet Moment" in our lives! We needed it! Love KC!
