\nDoodles, the friendly tribe leader. She is is 223 \u00be years old (I think). She was homeschooled up until third grade and graduated high school at the young age of 14. She likes to doodle (I wonder why?), do photography and sleep. For my Gilgal Gazette I decided to interview her! The first question I asked her is a basic question; \u201cHow many years have you been with Camp Gilgal?\u201d She answered with, \u201cI think 12\u201d The next question was, \u201cDid you ever go to Camp Gilgal as a camper?\u201d She answered, \u201cIf I hadn\u2019t, I wouldn\u2019t be here right now answering your questions.\u201d Well she definitely spiced things up a bit! But then I thought to myself, should I ask a spiritual question too? So, I asked, \u201cAt what age did you really start to love God and why at that age?\u201d Seems spicy enough right? This was her long reply. \u201cSo, my dad is a pastor, so I\u2019ve always been surrounded by the messianic mentality. I accepted Yeshua when I was four. I didn\u2019t understand what that meant until I was seven. After that I recommitted myself several times. Many of those times being at Camp Gilgal. I never felt the closeness of God as I wanted to. Then God revealed to me exactly what had been impeding my walk with him. I knew he had offered forgiveness for my sins, but what I hadn\u2019t realized is that I hadn\u2019t let myself accept it. So, I finally got to the point where I accepted that forgiveness and was able to forgive myself, only about seven months ago. And that is when I recommitted myself. In retrospect; I\u2019d always, kind of had a love for God, but I didn\u2019t truly, wholly love him until I accepted this love for me.\u201d So, there you have it folks! The wonderful life of Doodles written by the beautiful, loving, kind, smart, gently, caring, and funny Joy E. See you next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
