Church Camp

So.....
About a week ago.. i was at one of my all time favorite places in the world... and that was church camp! i mean... you meet so many new people! and make so many more friends!! and most importantly you get to make stronger relationships with god! i've had struggles in my life that sometimes i feel like i have too much to handle with.... but my mom.. and my grandma always told me.... "God never gives you more than you can handle!" and ya know what... i've grown to see that their right! sometimes i feel diff. but that feeling goes away! When i was at camp i didn't think i'd meet as many people as i did. i met this kid curtis... who was in a gang... has weed hidden in his bedroom wall... and carries guns with him at home cause theirs a gang out their hunting him down... i prayed for him sooo.......... hard.... i even talked with him and told him... that he should just get rid of all the weed he had... stop drinking... stop with gangs.... just not to be associated with them... and then aaron... i never found out much about him except for the fact that he tried killing himself a little while before camp... thank god the trigger was jammed!! Sam... one of the best friends i will prob. ever have... he just goes out.. parties... drinks too much... even though he knows he's still going to do it... he made a point of it to tell me not to do that... Steven... i've known him for a while... he is such a player!!! he drinks... gets wasted sometimes... and thinks it's no big deal... amber... pretty much the same as steven... minus the player part... all these people i met... i think i met them so i could pray for them... cause the all have struggles in their own lives...
one night for our night games... a group from a church called stand did a bunch of plays... the one that definately hit me the most... was the nerdy kid who was going to shoot himself in the head.... see... i've lost severaly friends... most in one year! mollie... killed by another one of my friends.... she was driving home late at night... she was wearing black... and was hit.... Tanner... shot him self... he was the one i was thinking of during that skit... and then Nate.... he hung himself... the day we had prac. for band... a few weeks before school started... his senior year....
and then after the skits.... we all found out that some of the kids in stand... some of their friends were in a car accident... on girl.. ali... was fine!.... another kid.... bryan i believe his name was... he was in a coma... but miraculously woke up a day later... in almost perfect condition... and then crystal.... she was killed instantly... i had seen her at camp before but wasn't extremly close.... it hit me pretty hard considering one of my friends was killed in a car accident... and then a kid... eric... i didn't know him extremly well... but he went to one of my friends school's... he was in a car accident on the day of my birthday... and he hit a light pole... he had slid on ice... he was killed instantly... it got me thinking... on how long will i have on this earth... i don't like to think about it but it's got to be thought about sometime... and i have this friend... his name is jared... i've known him since we were practiaclly born! i was older of course!! haha but only by a few months... i love him to death but... he is such a player... and sometimes he doesn't trust me... but no matter what people tell me... yes even his sister whom i love just as much ( and no dillon will not be left out... i love him too) their almost like a second family to me.. considering i like jared thats not the best phrase of words... lol and then my friend steven... sometimes i wanna strangle him!! see.... we had been talking about dating and stuff.. and then we went to prom together thinking he liked me... until i saw this girl and him kissing and... idk i like flipped... i didn't let him know that though... i didn't start crying until after he left... thats right... he left me for 2 hours to go to his gf's prom... i was so upset and i explained that to him later but...it took me a while to get over that one! haha but i do have many struggles in my life... and i'll get over them sooner or later... hopefully sooner rather than later... but god helps me through all those times!! we also had a concert... the opener... was Callie Weiss... she was amazing!! and then Green Hill was the main performance... they were great too!! we also did service projects while we were there... we went around the town of hampton cleaning windows, and toilets for local businesses... one group even cleaned police cars!!! also during that time.... we handed out water bottles... we had taped on bible verses to them.... it was so much fun.... we went swimming at the Greene, and Hampton Pools... played Capture the Flag... had GROSS games! haha... and i met a GREAT person... his name is Brandon.... and i like him so much... were not like dating yet... he wants to stay single for a while... i think god brought me to him too... considering he drinks.... i really hope he stops!! I think that about wraps it up for now!!!
