Prayer

Hey guys!! So I would appreciate your prayers (this may get long I apologize). Ok so I was at camp this weekend and it was amazing! ! I had such a blast with old friends and made new ones and realized that I am not alone in this ugly world. I have been put into a crazy harsh battle field this year and for the most part it has made me rest on God even more, but lately I am seeing myself go right down hill like the rest of them. I am "keeping the appearance" of a Christian but as we all know appearance in nothing and it is in the heart, and that is where I am struggling. I don't really know the last time I really sought Gods voice. I am in a dry spot and just need to get away from this world and be surrounded by people that love me so much and not with there own love but with the love of Jesus Christ. So that said, I am having to seek God about whether or not I should quite work 2 weeks early and go to Camp for a month of advance crew, and also if I am really wanting to Sr. Council this summer. I don't know what to do and honestly am afraid to ask God in fear that His answers won’t be the same as mine, even though I know His way is better!
So a guy that’s what’s going on, I am beaten down and weary and am feeling so alone right now. Please pray, I know the manipulating power that Satan has and know the Awesome Power that God has, and right now those two powers are going at it in my heart,.
Thank you!!

Fundamentals

Hey Guys!
I'm getting incredibly excited for Kaleo! Anyways, I was talking to my parents about it tonight and they have a few questions I'm wondering if anyone could help me with.. How is everyone from out of province getting all their stuff out to BC? Or any past students how did you get it out there? What's the cost of that? Also, where is ya'll buying all the "gear" we need lol. Thanks for any helpful hints!

Happy Easter!!!

Hello my wonderful Kaleomates!!!
Can you guys believe it is already Easter?? I love spring... It is definitely my favourite season! I also LOVE Easter!!! Every year it means more and more to me what Christ did for us on that cross... You guys might be like 'Duhhh Sheri' to this but hey this is kind of how I think.... So we had a service last night and we had communion and I was like 'ok God I don't understand why the crucifixion doesn’t hit me as hard as it does to other people, what am I missing? Christ died for us and I am so grateful, and HE saved us... I get it but why is it that after all these years I feel like it is something that is held against me??' and then it hit me... Jesus did NOTHING to deserve to die... He had NO blame He took all of our blame and separated Himself from God to save us.... How crazy is that??? I have heard this alllll my life but it just clicked one more notch... Guys I pray that I will never get so familiar with the Crucifixion again... and I pray that you never get so familiar with it that it just becomes something that you shrug off. PRAISE JESUS HE DIED FOR ME AND HE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Easter guys!!!

Hey whats up.
My name is Jon and I am also pretty pumped and excited for kaleo next year and when I say pretty, I mean very. I'm from Ontario about an hour from Toronto in a town called Newmarket. I'm just taking a year off right now so I graduated in 2006 and have just been working for the year. I was informed about Kaleo through my sister who goes to Briercrest and my youth pastor who knew some people who went there who said it was amazing so again, I'm really pumped. The idea of being at camp all year doing some amazing things and studying God's word pretty much seems like the best thing in the world. So I definitely look forward to getting to know all of you next year and I hope you all have a great easter.
