Over the past few months I have felt quite overwhelmed with a sense of peace at times. Is that possible?!? I have no idea… but I have had a rush of overwhelming feelings, then later my soul is settled. As I have seen my friends, colleagues, and mentors sharing the Word of God across social media during this time of social distancing, it takes me back to the years from 4th grade to when I was a junior in college.

Every summer, I went to camp. I loved and still love our camp. I found Jesus at this camp. I learned what true friends mean at this camp. I understood what it meant to let God guide my life. I was challenged to provide understanding of brokenness and healing. It’s where I was prepared to have a foundation to handle the grown-up world I would be heading into. At camp, we sang this song that is based upon Isaiah 43. This song has been stuck in my head for the past few days… It’s all I hear!

Hillsong United Sing: (Oohh… Ahhh…)
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you
And the waves, will not overcome you
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you
I have called you by name, you are Mine

For I am the Lord your God (girls repeat)
I am the Lord your God
(I am) the Holy One of Israel, your Savior (2x)

(Guys) I am the Lord
(Girls) Do not fear

When you pass through the fire, you’ll not be hurt
And the flames will not consume you
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you
I have called you by name, you are Mine


(Guys)You are the Lord
(Girls)I’ll not fear

You are the Lord
