Today was a lot less emotional than yesterday thankfully! It was odd for God day today, and lemme tell you there were some interesting costumes today!
The first class we went to was called Roll your dice, move your mice, and no one gets hurt. If you've seen Veggie Tales you know what that's from! In this class, we talked about traps, the traps in life that Satan sets. He just loooves to set traps that seem impossible to escape from. One we get caught in a trap, we feel pain and we hurt, but after awhile it goes numb and we can't feel it anymore. So we leave it for awhile. But then we realize that we need to get out of there, and we need to escape. So we look to God for guidance, help, and strength, because only He can set us free from our traps!
The second class we went to was called There's An iPad in the Pyramid. This class was about things that don't belong, that shouldn't be there. He showed us movie clips showing examples of just that. Nobody believed the guy who discovered germs. They thought he was crazy! Nobody believed that the earth orbited the sun, they thought the other way around. But all through out the bible, there is proof of every contradiction that people have made about God's existence. God knew what we was talking about! Rob Bell does a video called Everything is Possible. It's a really good video, so if you have an hour or so, go watch it sometime. God made sure every little detail mattered. He knows what He's doing.
The third class we went to was called Kryptonite. When Superman and Batman were working together to destroy all the Kryptonite in the world, Superman actually keeps the last bit of it and gives it to Batman. Why? Because he knew that one day, if he let his powers take over and he lost control and was hurting himself and other people, Batman would be able to stop him. In our Christian walk, what is our Kryptonite? What is our weakness? What is it that can stop us from hurting ourselves and other people? For me, it's the people closest to me, the ones I trust the most. I know my friends, and I know that they will tell me if I'm acting up and if I need to change my life.
Tomorrow is the last day, and it's a bittersweet feeling. I've made a lot of new friends, bonded closer with my current friends, and caught up with old friends from past camps. I'm not ready to leave, but I am ready to be home. I'm super excited already for next year's Encounter! if you've never been, and you're in high school, please consider going next summer.
