GOD ANSWERS PRAYER! YES HE DOES!

God is amazing.
just thought i'd start off with something we can all agree on. lol. for those who aren't aware that i went to the salvo easter camp...i went 2 easter camp! it was absolutely amazing! although it took a little while for it to get that way. at the start of camp i was in a major rut. i wanted to go home and never speak to anyone ever again. mainly because every where i turned there were friends fighting and i just couldn't find the love of God present. i was even starting to question my future with the salvos. and so i decided to give it to God and see what he could do with my life and present situation. on the first night i wrote down a prayer to God. i forgot about it and found the prayer a day or two later. i was so shocked when i read my prayer. even though it wasn't that long ago so much had changed! it was as if i had fallen asleep carrying a whole lot of burdens and woke up completely free! pretty much everything that i prayed for God has given to me. i prayed for certain relationships to be healed and the other night i found out that they pretty much all are! i prayed that god would help me not to feel so depressed at camp and now that i look back i can see that i came out of my shell in a big way! i can't think of a better way to celebrate easter than to spend it with a whole bunch of christians at camp. i will admit that i am a camp nut. hope u've enjoyed me blabbing on. lol. god bless and never be afraid to bring even the smallest things before god in prayer.
alana.
ps. remember, if you give a problem to God you have to leave it with him. worrying about it constantly is just showing that you don't trust God.

Hey how r u going?!
It's amazing how God can change things so quickly for the better! It always takes a while to get into familiarising yourself at camps and things but as long as you have focused on Jesus by the end - its all good.
I have a book mark that says, if somethings not worth praying about, it's not worth worrying about! I think it's quite a good reminder for us.
Its been great to see you develop soooo much in the past year and become quite a gifted leader, but I know there is a heap more God potential in you! Keep it up - and don't give up.
God bless - catch you around soon!
