When your pen doesn't write as fast as the mind can race...
Yeah, I'm having one of those weeks, where every moment of a new experience, a thought from the past, or just being in the present causes me to stop and think. These pauses are filled with gratitude, remembrance of struggles, the Lord's faithfulness and just all around joy of the blessings and trials the Lord has brought me through. This past week my little sister graduated from high school. Words cannot express how proud I am of all she has accomplished this past year, and the woman of God she is becoming. It has been a crazy week as we celebrated yesterday at her graduation party. Then today, was Father's Day. I thanked God for my Dad and what a great example he is to me. Then my mind wanders...I remember many special moments with my family. Going to the beach (or lake), jokes that no one could understand why they're so funny to me, old photographs of when I was just five and Marissa is one, my dad's endearing smile toward my family and I and the list just continues. Just as the time I spend with my family increases, tomorrow it begins to decline for a season of camp ministry. Though I my heart and body long for a summer of relaxation and especially time with just my family, the Lord continues to call us to do His work here on Earth. I am beyond excited for the next eight weeks of working at River of Life, as I can feel the Lord ready to move within that camp, and amongst His people. I can feel it within my soul, the refreshing waters of the Spirit ready to overflow and renew by heart, mind and soul. His Love is doing great things and will continue to do so because His love endures forever!
Continue with me as I embark on this journey as the camp season begins tomorrow.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all you ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6
