When the World's Moving Backwards

Good morning Tribe!

Summer 2010 was pretty amazing, and for those who participated, you came to know and love the music of Ben Rector. Ben sings a song called Moving Backwards. The chorus goes like this:

Cause standing still isn't easy, when the world's moving backwards...
So get your fill, please believe me, the world's moving backwards

What an accurate picture of all the junk going on in the world. This year there will be so much junk thrown at you and me while at school, home, or where ever we are- gossip, peer pressure from friends, stress, and much more. Camp Huawni is a beautiful place because it allows us to get away from all the junk and just be still.

I have Good News- that same peace is available to us year round. In John 16:33 Jesus says, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." As the world moves backwards around you, just know that Jesus has overcome it, and walking with Him daily gives you a peace and the power to reject all the junk and take in all the good OJ!

May the Lord bless you today! Until next week....

Love and inwauh,

Travis
