Walk Down This Mountain

CAM is winding down so we must Walk Down this Mountain with our hearts held high, follow in the footsteps of your maker... In the words of Bebo Norman's song Walk Down this Mountain we find that we all must come down from our Mountain and continue on with the rest of our lives. We are changed by the experiences that we have on service trips and retreats but we must also return to the real world in which we live in.

We have started to come back to the reality that we know as everyday life. We had our VBS talent show today. It was wonderful to see the kids singing and being so excited to tell there parents about how they had learned to fish from Caitlin or that Jesus was their Savior (VIVA) but then the talent show ended and the kids went back home to their famalies and the teens realized how much they had learned from those little kids. Walk Down this Mountain with you our hearts held high....

The Outreach group added finishing touches to the many homes that manual labor had worked on during the week. Once that was done they Walked Down this Mountain with their hearts held high... at the work they had accomplished.

The Manual labor crews left their sites with some sense of accomplishment because of how much they saw accomplished at their worksites. Now walk down this Mountain with your heart held high....

In theological reflection group we reviewed the week and all that we had learned about how people may live differently than us but they are still living or how much we take for granted on a regular basis. To remember our group we took a picture of us around the Jesus candle that lit our way all week. It was a beautiful moment until Mike Pappa's hair caught on fire. Then we had return to reality to put out the smoke. :) Walk down this mountain with your heart held high...

So as we start to say our goodbyes to one another and to the people of Harlan Co. We must Walk down this mountain with our hearts held high, follow in the footsteps of our maker and remember we have offered our broken cup and inturn are leaving with it much fuller because we served our brothers and sisters in Christ.

It's a better place Standing high upon this mountain I've seen your face Full of the light that holiest height can showBlessed hand is why you you've givenBut you've been given all you'll ever needTo knowChourus:So walk down this mountainWith your heart held highFollow in the footsteps of your makerWith this love that's gone before you And these people at your sideIf you offer up your broken cupYou will taste the meaning of this lifeHey heyWell it's a common groundAnd I see you're all still standingBut just look around and you'll find The very face of GodHe's walking down into the distanceHe's walking down to where the masses areChourusThis lifeWe're standing in a place of peaceAnd this is how the world should beHow the world should be(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)How the world should be(Walk down this mountain with you heart held high)How the world should be(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)How the world should beChourus-music fades-Hey hey
