Ummm...Title?
I wish I was more diligent in keeping up with this thing, though, I cant see myself changing too much, Im already in an old rut.
Oh LORD, how to I write what work You are doing in our lives? Maybe if I had the gift of articulate speech I could describe a piece of His work in us. Lately, (as in the last 6 months...but more concentratedly now...is that even a word?) I have been wrestling (it seems Im always struggling or wrestling with SOMETHING) with the importance, manifestations, and all around general idea of the Holy Spirit. Where is He in my life? What does He look like for me? For other people? So, Ive been asking lots of people, and talking with lots of people about their experiences and thoughts on the Holy Spirit - It has been AWESOME. Not always, but lately, the LORD has brought me to a place of peace and quietness concerning the whole subject. As if He says "My child, if I choose to take you there, I will take you there, WHEN I TAKE you there."
I have been challenged not to seek the "things", but to seek the LORD. And if I am seeking the LORD with my whole heart, I will find him (Jeremiah 29) and if I find Him and He bids me "Come" I pray that I would with a whole heart, wherever the Master leads!
CAMP. It is funny in some ways that He has us at camp, considering neither of us were particularly bent towards children, the camp atmosphere or the details of the job; However the LORD has been faithful to GIVE us the heart for kids, for boys camp specficially. It has been amazing to see Rocky come alive with ideas and hopes for the boys that will come this summer. There are many struggles still to overcome, it seems as if the camping ministry is dwindling in many circles, so we are now faced with the challenges that presents. We have been challenged to pray boldly lately, to speak things in faith that God will provide. It seems like when we speak, and put ourselves in a place where we are the idiot if He doesnt show up, that is when the LORD comes. When we are ALL in. Will you pray for us, that we would be ALL in, and that camps will FILL this summer - beyond the expectations of any of us.
