things i've realised today..

i was talking to one of the lovely girls i met on a vision valley camp. we were talking about where we would be if we had never been there..
this made me think where would i be if i had never been there? where would i be with out the wonderful inspirational people i've met there?
i would never have made it through my parents divorce
i wouldnt have had anyone to go to when i was in trouble
i wouldnt have anyone i trust
i wouldnt have met the lovely people ive met
i wouldnt have made strong beauitful friendships
i wouldnt be the person i am
i wouldnt be here today
i would be to caught up in my parents divorce to care about anyone else
i wouldnt even know god
i wouldnt even know jesus
i wouldnt know anything
i'd be hurt, broken and confused, i wouldnt even think i deserved to live.
i'd be lost, waiting for god to find me. but i'd never let him find me.

but because i have been to this wonderful place
i made it through my parents divorce
i have people i can go to when im in trouble
i have people i trust with my whole heart
ive met really lovely people
ive made really strong beautiful friendships
i am me
i am here today
im not caught up in my parents divorce and i do care about other people
i know god
i know jesus
i know what they did for us

although sometimes i feel hurt broken and confused, i know i have people who love me and who care about me and who can help me get through things. some days are rough but god will always be by my side. hes always gonna be there through thick and thin. hes always gonna be there to catch me when i fall.

and for that i thank god, i thank god that he was kind enough to let me see this more then wonderful place, this amazing place. always full of love, joy and happiness. i thank him that through this place i have learnt these many amazing things. and i thank him that i can continue learning things as i pass through this place in the years to come.

i pray that god will never take me away from this place, this place is my life, this place is my past, this place is my present, this place is my future. this place is my everything, my god is my everything.

this place is simply amazing.
just like he is.
god is amazing.
