I attended high school overnight camp last year, and I felt closer to God than ever before. But as soon as I left camp, I kept drifting farther and farther from God. I was really close to giving up on God, because I just couldn't figure out why He never helped me out when I needed Him the most. And then I went to high school camp again this year. And the devotions addressed the EXACT thing I had recently had so much doubt about. It was like the counselors knew exactly what was going on in my head and were talking just to me. God used those devotions to change my heart. All of a sudden God showed Himself to me in a new way, and I recommitted my life to Him. This year when I left camp, it was different than last year. Instead of having a "spiritual high" at camp and then losing it the second I left camp, I still feel as close to God as I did on Faith Night, and trust me, that's saying something. It's no longer a feeling, I KNOW that my God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I can trust Him to always be right by my side. God has taken over my life, and not just my life during camp week. All I am, I surrender.
