Isaiah 40

                         

                            "Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand,
                             And marked off the heavens by the span,
                            And calculated the dust of the earth by the measure,
                           And weighed the mountains in a balance
                          And the hills in a pair of scales?
                         Who has directed the spirit of the LORD
                         Or as His counselor informed Him?
                        With whom did He consult and who gave Him understanding?
                        And who taught Him in the path of justice and taught Him knowledge
                       And informed Him of the way of understanding?
                       To whom will you liken God?
                       Or what likeness will you compare with Him?"
 
                           ~Isaiah 40:12-14 and 18

         Honestly, just these few verses blows my mind and fills me with awe.
        As I read this passage (and the rest of the chapter) , I just sat there on my bed and  
        thought to myself, "Wow! This is my God!" He is the One who is mighty, powerful,
        just, holy. I could go on. And what do I know of Him, truly? What do I know of His
        strength, His power, His might, His justice, and His holiness? Nothing. And who
        has informed Him, advised Him, shown Him the way? No one.

       He is God.

       And I love that I'm able to say, He's my God.

       And what an awesome God He is!

                                          Love,
                                                   Josie

This Camp That I Love-part 3


                                                       This is my last post about camp.
                                                  However, I'll only be posting pictures.
                                               Only these following words are needed:
                           I am so thankful to God for Checkpoint Bible Camp and Lord willing,
                                                        I am going back next year. :)

                                                                

                                                           
                                                       
                                                         
         
                                                I hope you've enjoyed a look at my week.

                                                             Have a greet week!
                                                                     Josie

This camp that I love- part 2


In this second post about my week at camp, be ready for a load of pictures. Just because it was that sort of week. I was able to capture the silly moments that made me laugh, or the ones that simply, made me smile. When I look at them, I wish for that time again. One more year. :) 

Teens during puppet worskshop.

Canoeing!

Fellow counselors and CITs
Now, onto Thursday night. What a blessing it was to see these teens take what they had learned during the week, and use their God-given talents to minister to the elementary campers.
 
The girls singing "He is Wonderful". They practiced this in less than two days!
The first skit, which was based on 1 Corinthians 12.

So there you have it! I think I'm going to do one more post including pictures from
Thursday night's bonfire, and also pictures from Friday morning.
 
Until then,
