It’s amazing the kind of gift that God has so graciously given me. I love utilizing my gift for God’s Kingdom. Working with kid’s brings so much enjoyment into life, and can brighten up any kind of day that I previously have been going through.
Sound asleep, while volunteering at camp, I felt poking on my face. After realizing this poking was not in my dream I saw a kid from my dorm attempting to wake me up. Quickly sitting up, I asked the little guy what was wrong. He very softly explained that he couldn’t sleep as he had a question. I sat with Him for at least an hour as he asked some of the most in depth questions about who God was and what it meant to be a christian.
I would do absolutely anything for a kid, and I live for moments like those.
As some people know, I will be spending my summer down in the beautiful valley of Living Waters Bible Camp as Program Staff. I will have the privilege to grow with some amazing people down in the valley along with utilizing God’s gift he has given me in teaching kids about His AMAZING love for us
The decision:
At first, I wasn’t looking into going to camp. Financially I didn’t believe it would have been a wise decision along with job prospect that I knew would turn me down if I were to leave for the summer. Despite all that was holding me back I decided to pray about it. Most people that know me, know I have a burning passion in working with kids in a children’s ministry and didn’t want to completely shut out this opportunity.
I prayed about this opportunity.
About two weeks into constantly having this on my mind, I decided to go to my boss at work and ask if it was possible to take the summer off. He told me that he would need to talk to his district manager to see if it was possible. The next day my boss explained that it wouldn’t be a problem. That was a huge door that opened for me.
After praying about going to camp, I finally made the decision of going. I am not only going because I want to but because I truly feel God leading me to go. Every door that I felt was prohibiting me from going to camp was being opened by God and I knew this is where God wanted me.
Throughout the summer, I will do my best on posting here what’s going on down at Living Waters. I want those around me to be apart of this ministry with me. (THAT’S YOU!) I’ll post different prayer requests and of course praises letting you know what’s going on.
Not only will I need prayer, but those around me at camp also. I will have the amazing privilege to grow spiritually alongside some incredible people. Throughout the summer there are times that are going to be tiring and exhausting, those are the times that we need your prayer all the more.
I am so excited for this new, even though short, chapter in my life and the ability to have you apart of it. Join me through the summer as we can impact rambunctious kids all the way to young adult. Prayer is such a powerful tool that we have to confess, ask and give praise to our incredible God.
~ Mark 10:13-14 ~
And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them. and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ” Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” and he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
Kids look up to older people so much and I can’t wait to have that kind of impact on kids again. I want to thank you for being apart of that in supporting me through prayer and encouragement. It means so much to me when someone encourages me as it wasn’t an overnight decision to be led to go to camp. God is SO good!
