If you don't already know one of my many passions is YouTube. I love that today's technology allows anyone and everyone to have a platform for good. If you've visited my YouTube channel at all you may be used to simple beauty/fashion/lifestyle videos, however, not too long ago I branched out and started a new channel. Last week, I worked with a friend of mine to create a better edited version of the things I had already been doing. The video is a highlight reel from our youth group's time at a camp called CIY Move. It's an awesome experience where students get to experience God in a whole new way. If your a Christian or you are interested in Biblical content be sure to check out my YouTube channel Girl Meets God . Also, check out my friend Livy's Vimeo.

Last week I spent time at a youth camp in Cleveland, Tennessee where a band blasted praise music to more than 1,000 students morning and night. It's always an amazing experience. Music is a great inspiration to me and the many thousands of young people who will get to experience this camp over the next few weeks. One musical discovery was a band called Johnnyswim. The praise band covered a song by them called Hallelujah and the original is definitely worth a listen. This folk duo will sing to your heart and the video will inspire you to do Kingdom Work. The next discovery was a song I've heard before, but it connected in a different way after this week. Needtobreathe's Multiplied has been a favorite among the Christian community for a while, and I must say nothing does this song justice like my good friend Livy's video of her time in Kazakhstan.
