i never wanted to leave,
the joy and love was just too much.



ive that feeling again, that sense that my life is, has changed. this camp, was certainly the best camp in my entire life. even as i write this now, im crying, sobbing even. im listening to the song when God ran.
it is by far the most emotional song ive ever heard. when i heard it, i just cried and cried. i dont want to even be here in my room, i want to be back in camp, surprisingly. ive made so many new friends, so many old friends. its never really going to be the same, is it. so many new insights have dawned on me. forgiveness, love, community, it all makes sense now. i know many people arent going to open up about their experiences, but i shall. i was really struggling with everything, crappy relationships, that kind of thing. i went to the basement to pray, and i played the piano there. i played a few songs, including reflections. then i opened up breaking bread to a random song, and i saw it was be not afraid. later on, i wrote a letter to God, asking for a sign. the next thing i knew, mass happened and the song played was be not afraid. i was so amazed, and even more so when michelle played reflections for us. when parents night came, it was just truly wonderful. to see so many parents, supporting their child. everyone cried when we read letters written from our parents. i can safely say that everyone was truly touched when it happened. but now the camp is over, everyone doesnt want to leave. but we're going to make this work, were goign to keep the spirit alive.




he ran to me, took me in his arms.
he held my head to his chest and said,
"my sons come home again."
lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes.
with forgiveness in his voice, he said
"son, do you know i still love you?"
he caught me by surprise, when God ran.
