SharpTop has been one of the most joyful memories i’ve had!! We headed to SharpTop cove a little over a week ago to help serve the Young life camp in whatever ways they needed. Some cleaned while others made beds for the upcoming campers. For me and my group we did yard work the first few days including weeding and laying mulch. My favorite part though was working in the kitchen! We made cookies, prepared meals, and cleaned all while becoming friends with the staff.
Recently I’ve been learning what true christian community looks like. Never in my life have I had a strong friend group and as a result, I’ve become so incredibly grateful for what I’ve had through World Race. It’s amazing to see prayers answered! Now I am blessed with not only friends, but a FAMILY. I actually want to be around people and do life with them. At SharpTop, my squad (+ the staff) got to do just that. For me I felt closer to my squad especially with sharing a dorm so I’m excited to experiencing more of that in Nicaragua!! We played games every night no matter how tired we were from working most of the day. We swam in the lake and watched collage football. We also survived hurricane Helen!! There was much storm prep and rain was a constant throughout our time there but we didn’t face as much flooding as expected PRAISE GOD. The storm was beautiful. I caught myself multiple times standing in the rain and looking at the hills all around. God is so incredibly powerful, more powerful than the hurricane that we were in, and over every single thing! Being at camp was a big reminder that the Lord is over it all.
Reign Above It All
Song by Paul McClure
You reign above it all, You reign above it all
Over the universe and over every heart
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
Let all of Heaven and the Earth erupt in song
Sing hallelujah to the Everlasting One
There is no higher name
Jesus, You reign above it all
You reign above it all
The last day at camp was so bittersweet. I had so much joy in just one week and I truly felt loved. God has fulfilled so many prayers and desires i’ve had for a long time. He reigns above it all! Thank you SharpTop for sweet memories, I will miss all the beautiful people i got to be with and look forward to hopefully seeing them again after this trip! I love my World Race family and I can’t wait to see how we grow together in Nicaragua!
