Wow. Who knew I’d never have any time to keep up on this blog? Two camp weeks have flown by and yet no evidence to show on my blog!!
These past few weeks have changed me in HUGE ways. I have learned over and over again that God’s Grace is absolutely infinite and His intricate designs in our lives unite us all in a way that we could never imagine.
Regardless of if they know it or not, everyone needs someone to minister to them. A caring hand or a gentle word or two can be appreciated by even the most reclusive of human beings.
When someone knows that you genuinely care, it doesn’t matter how long they’ve known you: YOU COULD BE THEIR ONLY FRIEND.
In dealing with people, allotting a certain amount of time for interaction is a delicate process. Delicate in the sense that it is impossible. I recently visited a lady that hadn’t had a visitor in the past year and a half(excluding granddaughter). Imagine all the stories you could store up for a stranger in a year and a half!? We need our neighbors.
Thus the reason planning is futile. But I enjoy order. Scratch that. I THRIVE on order. While this summer has challenged me in many aspects of my life, forcing me to realize that I cannot be in control has been the most difficult pill to swallow. Why I want to be in control is beyond me. Sure everyone is afraid of not knowing what might happen next. But honestly God’s planning is much better than anything I could ever hope to devise.
For the time being I would just like to thank all the wonderful churches that have graced Joshua Youth Camp with their presence this summer!!
I had planned on writing entries on Week 1 and 2 but I will add those on later. Don’t you worry Kevin Eudy, your name will get in here somehow! (Well looky there!)
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT GOD HAS IN STORE FOR WEEK 3!!
