Come to Jesus

Looking through my blogs I realized that I never shared my favorite story from camp. We had a deaf staff member this year. Travis is his name. He is such a great guy. He and his girlfriend Kahlia were such a blessing to me. Travis was fun and crazy, Kahlia was an amazing example of patience, understanding and just the sweetest girl you could ask for. Anyway as you can imagine Camp was hard for Travis. Really only Kahlia was able to communicate with him very well, although some staff knew sign language and others learned large amounts so as to be able to talk to Travis. But times when Kahlia wasn't able to be with him due to her own job, it was difficult for Travis to not get board. Meetings and church were especially dull times for him. Well a few of the girls decided to do something special for the last chapel. We always have a special music time, so we decided to sign a song instead of sing. With much help from Kahlia we got ready to perform. It was absolutely the most touching moment in my life to watch and be a part of. Travis wasn't even looking at us for the first verse, he naturally just expected Kahlia to translate whatever was going on and she had a tough time getting him to just look at us, He kept asking her why she wasn't translating. But when he looked up and saw us he immediately started to cry. He hugged us after (strictly against camp policy) :) and Thanked us repeatedly throughout the week. But I wonder if it almost meant more to me to be able to see him so touched. It's a moment I won't ever forget, and love to remember. Oh yes and the song was by Chris Rice the "Untitled Hymn" or otherwise known as "Come to Jesus". It's a beautiful song. If you get a chance you should look it up.
Thanks for letting me share my special moments.
Oh yes and the song is now on my myspace page... which if you don't have the address to, well I can't help you because I don't actually know it. Sorry. But for those of you who do know it.. This should help complete the experience for you! :)
