camp out!

well...
i did it!
i made it through the indiana jones scavenger hunt.

we had a youth camp out at a friend's pasture. now if you need to know anything about me, it's the fact that I have OCD. I'm a germ-a-phobe. So, needless to say, I'm not exactly an outdoorsy person. But we had this wicked sweet scavenger hunt in the woods that had clues and everything. It was pretty cool. My group won of course and the other group had a 15 minute lead on us!

Then we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows on a camp fire. It may be a very odd skill, but people were calling it a skill nonetheless. I guess I'm very good at roasting marshmallows. I know how to get them the perfect shade of golden brown. So I roasted them for everyone else that tried (and failed) to match my roasting ability... I never knew that other people couldn't roast them like that... lol

Now things are winding down. I don't know what to do. I'm starting to freak out because I'm realizing how dirty I'm actually getting... No one knows that I sneaked into the house to blog. But I better get going soon before they come looking.

So the scripture:
I got this from a comment Ian left on my previous post:
Ephesians 3:20-21 (New Living Translation)
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

I just think that is such a powerful statement. Everything we do is only because our Father in Heaven allowed to or gave us strength to do it. He can do everything. I mean, He IS God after all... He's perfect. And He can give us the strength to accomplish everything in His name. He wants us to have the kind of faith to believe that we can go out and get everything done. But we must remember, after we've accomplished and won and achieved all these things, that all the glory goes back to Him.

That's all for tonight. Sorry its not that great of a post. I have the weekend to myself, so hopefully I can spend some of that time bettering His kingdom. Thanks for tuning in.
