One of the best worship experiences I have ever had was when I went to camp YOLIJWA. If you don’t know this stands for Youth Living Jesus Way. This is a fun camp that kids love. At night we had prayer stations. This is when the lights are out and the room is lit by candles. The counselor’s are playing calm music. Some of the stations have you light a candle and say a prayer for someone. Some stations let us pray with a pastor. It was a peaceful and relaxing time because there weren’t any distractions or talking. When this happened I got this picture of God and what he looked like to me. He looked like this huge guy that had a gnarly beard. He is this guy who loves and cares for everyone on this planet we call earth.
