This week at camp was amazing. Looking back, it’s beautiful to see how Jesus moved in the lives of students during the week. On thursday night, we shared our song “Light Beyond the Sun”. I hadn’t played it in a while, and as I was on stage singing it, I realized how much I need that song. I need that constant reminder that our God is huge. Let’s face it, as long as we are living on this earth, there’s going to be things in our lives that are heart-breaking and seemingly unbearable. There are going to be times when everything seems to just be crashing in around us. There are going to be times when we have no idea why we are even on this earth. There will definitely be times when we wonder what our purpose in this world is. There are going to be times when we just can’t help but fall on our face and cry.

But I believe that it’s in those times that we need to realize that there is a huge God who holds us in the palm of His hand.

The idea for the song, “Light Beyond the Sun”, is the fact that our God shines brighter than the sun. Here on earth, the only way we are able to see things is by the light of the sun, or when it is dark, we use lights that mimic the light of the sun. But the truth is that God created that sun; His light shines beyond the sun. So it’s when I’m at my deepest darkest times in my life, when my problems seem even too big for God, that this song reminds me that “He’ll be my warmth when I’m lost in the cold”. No matter how big our situations are, God is bigger.
