This is me in a nut shell..





Hey so my name is Victoria, I just turned 17 yesterday (April 16), I love Jesus with all I am and I am super excited to be a part to of CIT this year. I love theatre (watching and being involved) and my favourite song as of right now is "Opposite Way" by Leeland.

I went to family camp when I was super little, so I don't remember much I remember looking forward to it every year, the craft tent and making this goop stuff :p
I was told about CIT through a friend at school and church who did it last year. He had nothing but good things to say about it. All I kept hearing was how amazing it was and how much I would absolutely love it. After praying about it for a while I decided I wasn't going to apply because I thought that I should be working in the summer. Little did I know God had a different plan. A couple months after I first heard about CIT my parents brought it up again. We hadn't really talked about it a whole lot but they thought it would be such an amazing thing for me to do. So that night I went upstairs and prayed about it. All i heard was "Go". I kept praying about and with more and more prayer I become more and more excited. I decided I would apply. If felt so good finally emailing in that application. And it was even better to open my email at church yesterday after school and see that I had been accepted! (best birthday present ever).

I pretty much jumped up and down and told everyone I saw for the next hour. :)

Anyways that is me in a nut shell and my experience with applying and relying on God that He would send me where he wanted me this summer :)

I am so excited to get to know as many of you I can,

I'm praying for each and everyone of you, Blessings

Victoria

That's cool!! Ohhhh wow! Cool theme! Yeah there are a few in my youthgroup that are really into the beattles so I might just have to tell them about that.

Ohh wow thats neat. How long have you been singing for?? I don't take singing lessons or anything and I suck at singing, but I just like to sing for fun. Especially in worship. I'm just carried away by the music in worship! Its amazing!

i have been singing for like ever lol just cause i love to sing but i've been involved in like musicals and stuff since i was like 8 maybe?? I took voice lessons for 2 years and i might start again next year... yah i agree singing in worship is just amazing. There is nothing like closing your eyes and having everything disappear except you and god. have you ever heard of cory asbury? he has really good worship music! i really love his songs "so good to me" and "where i belong"
