Camp number 2 PLEASE READ

I wrote about my first experience at camp, but I didn't reallly go in depth of what God taught me!! I am here to share these things. He taught that I am beautful in His eyes and to stop letting the enemy tell me that I am ugly!!!! He taught me how to go to my friends in time of need!!!! He also is in the process of getting rid of all my negative energy and making me into an 100% happy person!!! He is teaching me not to let things get the best of me and for me to make the best of things!! I had a friend at camp who told me on the last full night that I am amazing and don't let anybody tell you any different! I had never cried over a complement in my life till that moment! God also told me it is time to stregethen my realtionship with him! He gave me a new bible when I got home which told me to read the word everyday!!! I have been really struggeling with stregething my relationship with Christ!!!!! I would love some adivce! I have been a Christain since I was 7 and I really didn't feel my walk till about two years later!!!! I started feeling my walk when I moved to Kentucky and started at the church where I go currently! When I first moved to Kentucky I did not see the future because I didn't want to move away from my family! I did not see God's reason for moving me and my mom till I started back to public school when I was eleven! I totally saw the future when I started there!!!!! I thank God everyday for moving me to Kentucky, but I still don't feel as close to God as I would like too!!!!! Camp really taught me about my faith!!!!! Ihave a stronger love for God than I ever have, but I still feel distant from him!!! Please give me some adivce!

Ever since i left camp i have been teh SAME way!, i <3 HIme with ALL my heart, but now i feel REALLY distant, and that He hears my prayers and needs, but doesnt reply, and answer, or anything, i dont even feel like doing my devos, i was doing really good, till i went to camp, and they had us sooo busy there i didnt have tiem or energy at night or morning, but they had us do devos that they gave us, so i was still doing them, but now i dont feel like it. i did mine last night, but not totally willingly, i KNEW i needed to do them, but i didnt really feel like i WANTED to... my mom told me, it could be any of these things

1. You feelt God so close and powerful at camp, that now its not like that at all, and so you feel far, and that He's not listening.

2. The devil is sending an attack on you, trying to make you think God isnt listening now, and doesnt care.

3. or it could just be hormones! )=

My mom said just to spend quiet time with God, praying isnt enough, if you have a best friend or boy friend, or someone you <3 spending rime with, you spend a lot of time with them right?? well we SAY we <3 God, and we DO, but we dont always let HIM know that, since we dont spend time with Him always.

I aqsked and asked and asked God for friedns, and when He sent them to me, i wasw grateful, but that meant instead of talking to Him, like i would if a freind was right trhere, I have conversations with my friends in my mind, (i know it sounds weird, but its what i do. i act like they r there and have "conversations" with them) But now, its sooooooooooo HARD!! i WANT to talk with Him, but now it seems lonely, like He's not there... So just remember, if you dont get anything elose out of his comment, remember, You are NOT alone! Others aqre also haveing THIS VERY problem!
