Hello,
I wanted to say thank you for sending me and my little girl to Lake Champion. It was a week I will never forget. I learned a lot and grew as a person. To be honest it was rocky in the beginning because it was somewhere new and my little one was off her schedule. After the second day I was a wreck. I blew up at one of my leader. I thought I was angry at her. But I was so stressed at everything around me. We sat down and had a talk. And I realized it wasn’t her I was mad at, it was some of the craziness. I realized one of the people who I thought was my friend was using me. And at camp I finally realized it and I slowly started to let her go out of my life and right now I couldn’t be any less stressed and happy.
But getting back to the big stuff. Every night we went and had prayer and cabin time and had time to reflect on ourselves, our lives. It opened my eyes. It made me become closer to God. I was raised in the Church but strayed away for a few years. And this camp helped me come to the conclusion that God is always there, patiently waiting for us to let him in, to except him. He loves us for us no matter what silly, stupid thing we do. Even if we travel on the wide path he will always help us get back to the narrow path he has for us to fallow on. On the last day we had a chance to re except God into our lives, and I chose to do so. And I wouldn’t have had this opportunity without your help. And I wanted to say thank you so much. We did so many activities and I overcame so many fears, but I think letting God come back into my heart was the biggest thing. And I’m glad I could share that with you and you could help me. I don’t know when the next time this could have happened for me. I was falling for so long, but I was saved again. Thank you for making that possible.
