TIME FILES 

 

Last year around this time I knew I was going on the world race. it felt so far away and I had so much time in the world to prepare now it’s 11 days away and I’m running around trying to get everything together before I leave. I’m trying to tell everyone bye and writing letters to my friends and family. When summer first started I knew it was coming closer each day, but still felt so far away. I love Ministry so much and know that this is what God is calling me into. As 6 camps I helped out during the summer with FCA I knew reality was setting in that I was leaving soon after it was over.

I go to this camp every year at Camp Linden this would be my 8th year going. This camp has helped me since I was a 12-year-old girl and now I’m going to be 20 in a month. As I got to sit back and watch all the kids who were younger than me I was in their shoes once going into middle school and high school. I had an opportunity with them to talk with them about going into high school and what to expect, but me and Sierra also gave them spiritual advice too and it was awesome how God worked through us talking to the girls. 
On the last night, Dusty was preaching and it was during altar calling I felt led to talk to Dusty because for a while I have been having a lot of anxiety about everything, I want to feel content that I don’t have to be in a relationship all the time, but being content with the Lord, and needed prayer before I leave.
Dusty was talking with me and he told me before we got to camp he felt like the Lord was wanting him to me that I needed to get in the water to let go of things that had been holding me back and to get filled with the holy spirit. I told him that’s exactly why I went up to him because I knew I needed to let go of the hurt I have been feeling and the things that have been holding me back.
I asked him if I could get baptized that night it was like 11 p.m. and he didn’t say no, but my brother was actually at camp. If anyone knows my brother he’s such a godly man so thankful to have him as my brother and I wanted him to baptize me. so at 11 p.m., he baptizes me and he baptizes his wife.

It was such a beautiful moment because everything that had been holding me back drowned those things that had been having a hold of me. I’m walking in freedom. Thank, you Jesus.
