I showed up at Windy Gap for summer camp. I showed up thinking I was a good enough kid and certainly better than some other people I knew. I showed up having gone to church so surely I was a Christian.
BUT GOD had a lot in store for me that week. Yes, I absolutely had a blast racing go carts and doing the ropes course. There was also racing across the pool on a blow up whale and playing cards and laughing until my cheeks ached.
But I heard the gospel of Jesus Christ in a way I'd never received it before...for the first time in my life I knew I was a sinner in need of a savior. And Jesus has been with me ever since.
Windy Gap holds a special place in my heart and is one of my favorite places on earth. I am privalaged that this will be my 9th women's weekend! I love the place and the people. I love laughing and eating too much and hearing more about Jesus and reconnecting with my people. I love that the Lord tells us over and over again to remember...I am grateful that I get to return and remember what Jesus did for me that summer I was 16. I get to praise Him for what Jesus is doing for me now. I get to hope for what Jesus will do in the years to come.
Couldn't ask for a better weekend!
