Well it’s hard to believe that I’ll be leaving in exactly
one week for CAMP!!! How cool is
that? Looking at all that’s happened in
the last few months I am amazed by the grace of God in my life. For a long time I was too afraid to trust
Him. I valued the security of a full
time job, a regular pay check, health insurance, a retirement fund more than
the security in walking by faith. I
valued my own ways and plans more than His ways and plans. And I was miserable. I was miserable not just because I hated the
job, but because I wasn’t living for His glory.
I wasn’t using the gifts He has given me to honor Him.
I still don’t know what my life lived for Him will look
like, and honestly there’s days when the not knowing scares me. However, I am learning ever so slowly but steadily the
truths from God’s Word that promise His presence with Me, His faithfulness to
me, His love for me and His grace’s sufficiency.
Joshua 1:9 “Have I
not commanded you? Be strong and
courageous. Do not be frightened,
and do not be dismayed , for the LORD
your God is with you wherever you go.”
1 Corinthians 1:9 “God is faithful, by whom
you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Psalm
13:5 “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your
salvation.”
2
Corinthians 12:9 “But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.”
Looking
at the opportunity I’ll have over the next few weeks to encourage teens to grow
in their relationships with the Lord. To
help the learn the joy that it is to serve Him.
I am humbled. I am thankful. I am totally through the roof excited to be
even a small part in the Lord’s work.
On
a side note, I love getting mail!! So
for any of you who are inclined to send mail I thought it couldn’t hurt to give
you the address. . . Just in case!! I’m not sure yet how much access I’ll have to
the outside world, I’m planning on embracing all of the camp limitations on
technology to make sure I’m 100% there.
So I’m certain mail will be an extra special blessing.
