the camp was at colloroy and it was for exo and connect which are the christian groups at hornsby and normanhurst. it was a really fun time. we had fish and chips at the beach on friday night, and played some hilarious games on friday night (rianna and her stolen coins :P) Saturday was jam packed and us year 11 girls were kinda tired after our late night chat on friday night but it was just an awesomely fun time spent learning about God and spending time in fellowship.
i've always gotta have pictures in these things but unfortunately rosie and i both forgot out cameras so here is a stolen picture of some fish and chips- but no calamari- similar to the way we didn't get calamari either (but i'm not bitter)
the talks were on 1 john and even though it was the same passage that i learnt about on the last camp i went to i think i understood a lot more of it second time round. The main points i learnt were that Jesus is our restorer, redeemer and rescuer and that our faith is about what's on the inside, not the outside, however what's on the inside should impact what's on the outside. The third talk focused on God's love for us and how he will always love us more than we can ever love him and how our love is just a reflection of his because we have his love within us.
"we love because he first loved us"
it sucked that i had to go home early on saturday night and i missed the last talk, but it did mean that i got to go to ellen's confirmation which was really great. while i was there it was also absolutely brilliant to spend some real quality time with my hornsby girls and getting to know them a whole lot better. they are some absolutely beautiful women and i thank God for putting people like them in my life.
i'm totally finding a way of getting to go next year.
bye.
