Brainstorming places- Journal 17

I have been brainstorming and I decided what I wanted to write my paper on. I wanted to write my paper on a place that is an actual place that has made a huge impact on my in my life growing up. It is called Camp Woodworth. It is the Louisiana Assembly of God Campground. I grew up there. I went there every single summer. When I was 6 I started going to kid’s camp. You leave on Monday morning bright and early and get back Friday evening around 5pm. There are so many cool things about this place. I know I could get other people’s stories and experiences from it. Unfortunately since this assignment is supposed to be a research paper, I don’t feel that I can have enough resources for it. I for some reason cannot find a website on it. The church I grew up in was called Broadmoor Assembly of God and now it is called Gateway Church, without the Assembly of God affiliation, so I am not even sure if they still attend that camp. I emailed my old children’s pastor who is currently the only pastor who is still there from when I was there and have yet to receive a response from him on where to get information on the camp at. I can picture it like it was yesterday. The smell, the songs, the laughter, the FROZEN PICKLE JUICE! God’s presence in the sanctuary is by far the strongest impact on my life. That was the first place I really got to experience the fullness of God and I wanted to go every year. It drastically helped me to be able to go to a place and be reminded of how I should live before a new school year started. It was fun and inspirational and I wish I could write a paper on this place, but a different place will have to do!
