Keddy is one of our worship interns and is an amazing young Godly women.  Here is her story from her New Hampshire Experience.

This past week has been one of the toughest but yet one of the greatest experience of my life. When it comes down to defining what was done in me this past week, I can’t put my finger on just one. God sent me on this trip to point out my flaws and shape me up. I have anxiety issues caused by a previous experience in my life, and that has limited me to doing many things. One of those things has been the fear of being away from home. Months before the trip was going to take place I got asked/told by many people that I should attend the trip. I struggled in my mind. My reply, “It would be too hard to find money, and I`m too afraid to go.” Thats when Billy said, “Theres no reason to be afraid, we are all family. And if you are called to go, money will always find it’s way.” I guess I eventually tried to believe I could make it. My mom tried her best to find money and little by little she deposited what she had. With a hundred dollars left to pay, I was notified that I had a scholarship given to me by an anonymous donator. Someone took care of the rest of my fund, and I was completely amazed by what had just taken place. Weeks past and soon enough the time came for me to go. I was an emotional wreck the last few nights. Then Tuesday morning came and I knew I needed to suck it up. I was comforted by the thought that I could keep in contact with anyone when I got upset, through my phone. When we arrived at Singing Hills in New Hampshire I was drained from the whole day and there was no reason to ponder, just sleep. When Wednesday morning arrived I realized that there was no phone service where we were staying and I couldn’t text or call anyone to keep me calm. A few phone calls were only available. Everyday held a new adventure, of things I’ve never done before. There was dark, dark times for me some days, but with the love and care of everyone around me I made it out okay. I built relationships with everyone of my peers and got to know everyone in a whole new light. As we worked together through the week we experienced what sadness really meant. We saw the darkest places and the most emotionless people. But yet through all of it, I would never ever change any of it. This week I learned to stop relying on certain people to make me happy, but to trust in God and be loved by people who actually care about me.
