Missing them

So this week has been a little bit crazy and I am getting "homesick" for my Chrysalis family! No other place other than with my biological family, do I feel so at home. I know I've talked a lot about this before but it is kinda a big deal to me. I've met a lot of people I knew would have known and experienced God's love in a way I never had before. I definitely think there is something to say for that. There is a sense of trust and love between everyone, we all pitch in to make things happen, were all there to pick each other up, we are a family. I've been to a lot of camps, retreats, and even another encounter but this almost has it's own Genre. I've always grown up in a Christian home my parents are great examples of what Godly parents should be. My dad is a Pastor and my mom is Teacher/Momma they have been married for 39 years and are still going strong. My point is, this isn't new for me I accepted Christ when I was 6 and got baptized when I was 9. I have strong beliefs and great great people who taught me those. Yet there is so much to learn about Christ and his love. Chrysalis gives you the opportunity to see what it is like to serve others. It changed me way more than I expected, It's a great ministering tool! I have been on 3 trips to Mexico and I was touched each and every time. And I hope I can take what I learned from my experience at Chrysalis and apply it to every area of my life. To serve, mentor and ultimately  to have a strong foundation in my faith for Christ.Like they say your house will fall with out a strong foundation to support it.

  1. I have had similar experiences where God used being with godly people on an extended trip to draw me closer to Him and give me a renewed passion for serving Him. I hope you do continue to use the things you've learned there and pass them on!
