Our Youth Fellowship had a camp in early July. :)
Living in a world dominated by ideologies pushing us to place our security in anything but God, for example in wealth, status, self-fulfilling pleasure; Jesus quite radically calls us to place ALL our trust in Him - to be ANCHORED into Him ALONE.
It was amazing to see God's work in the YFers, inspiring them to be anchored to Christ only. Such a decision is not an easy one to make, yet the most secure...one that lasts for eternity. :) The camp was certainly a 'high' for me...and it seems that it was equally motivating for the YFers. :)
But it's a BIG challenge it seems to continue being Anchored in Christ, after returning to usual life. Pretty much everything screams out to us demanding our attention, and yells at us to focus away from Jesus. I wonder how we can help the YFers to continue to work out their committments/goals made in camp. Because sometimes, and often for me, 'the spirit is willing but the body is weak'. :(
I wonder...for the YFers, how their desire/motivation experienced during camp can be maintained...in times of busyness (school!), distractions etc etc etc. Would love to hear your thoughts!
Ps. Praise God 4 making the camp so smooth, and praise Him for using tiny sinful people like us to bring Him glory! :D
