MAD Camp 2010

So another MAD Camp goes by but this one seemed to go quicker than others in the past and was rather gutting :( however it proved to be another awesome camp with 2 people professing faith and a possible third which I don't know about. I made great friendships with few people but unfortunately it was their last year so hopefully I will stay in touch with them.
Weather wasn't that great throughout the week but it didn't stop us having fun and I think most people enjoyed the wide game :D The evening talks was great and it was encouraging for me and to quite a few campers i spoke to. Tent Bible Studies was great also and most people enjoyed them and challenged me also so it was a great year.

Activities was great everyone enjoyed them and I am sure to say many will want to come back next year for Camp 2011 if there is one :D once again it is a depressing time coming back from a special place like camp as you don't see your friends 24 hours a day and you quickly miss them but the great news is you have made new friends and you can always meet up with them. As i said earlier I have made great friends and the to the friends I already had grew stronger and got to know them better.

So once again God showed us his love and his grace (which we looked at on camp) and we couldn't of done any of it without him. when we got back from camp and went to Sunday service next day it was a sermon that hit my heart and made me think about my life even more and showed me how important God is to me and how important my friends are in my life also. It is a shame Camp has to finish but thank God that 2 more people will now go to his kingdom and they have realized they are sinners and without him they were doomed. Just pray they would keep strong in their new walk as a christian and God would keep them strong and not fall back into their old lifestyle :D

Friendship

I didn't really know what to put on my blog so I thought why not talk about friendship :P Last few months I have realized how important my friends are to me. Of course I knew that they were important to me before but when you are going through some bad patches in life you get to know how much you need friends :D.
Everyone I have as friends are important to me. Of course I would say my Christian friends are the greatest friends I have because I see them the most and speak to them the most but my friends outside church and Christian youth groups and clubs are important to me as well as they look out for me and keep me going. I wouldn't know what to do without them, my life would of been proper messed up if they weren't around.
There is however times when I think 'why are you my friends? I have not done anything nice for you'. Usually when this comes into your mind your usually quite depressed or upset and you just lose all of your mind and you start thinking things you would not normally think about but your friends just stick with you and comfort you and if they do that you know that you have some special friends.
For me Christian and Non Christian friends are important to me, maybe I haven't been the greatest friend to others but I would hope if I haven't that I would be given an extra chance to make that right. I would like to say thanks to everyone who has supported me through the many years of knowing me and for the years I got left on this planet :D I wouldn't be able to do anything without you guys and I just hope in future I can re pay you in the same kindness you have given me
