Not just a camp high

First, I just want to say just how happy I am to see everyone posting on here again! Thanks cameron! I'm going to Quest next week, july 4th-july 10th, and I'm so excited to see what God has in store for me.

I was just reading what some of you said about how amazing Sky Ranch was for you these past few weeks. God always teaches me so much at Sky Ranch. Camp always brings me so much closer to Him than I ever thought possible. But it always feels like I'm super "holy" only a few weeks after camp...then pretty soon after, I return to the same person I was before camp. So here's your challenge: don't make this just a "camp high!" Hold on to everything you learned. Remember these joyful feelings you're experiencing right now, immediately after camp, and never, ever let them go.

Trust me, it gets hard. I'm sure you all know about the struggles that come along with being a Christian today. Stay strong! And I think the best possible thing you can do, in the future, when you feel like you're not the same joyful person you are right now, right after camp, is pray. Pray to God for strength when you feel the need to. He's always there.
