Welcome to THE Party

One of the freshman girls from my cabin wrote this poem to describe Winter Camp, and I felt like it summed it up very well. (and my brain is too much tired happy mush right now to write an actual post!) More pictures to come tomorrow, but, for now…

Are there words to describe

this unspeakable joy inside?

Gleefully soothing my broken heart

God's work has come and I can't wait to take part!

From confessing pain to seeing joy

Walls we built now we destroy

God is here and He is moving

With Him on our side, we can't be losing

We faced challenges and fears

Slaying demons with falling tears

These days are insane, but so beautifully complete

(What makes better best is the food that we eat!)

We've learned that the world ain't all that you see

And we all carry pain, no matter who we might be

We've also heard that when you're tardy

It's never too late to be welcomed to the party

Life is hard, God is good

Celebrate this? Yes, we should!

At His throne more souls have knelt

And icy hearts have begun to melt

Joy and pain

Love like rain

Shockingly sweet

Is this Wildhorse Retreat

WELCOME TO THE PARTY!
