For the last month I have been working (and living) at Pine Ridge Bible Camp in Cedar Springs. And at first I was quite hesitant as to whether or not I really wanted to do this. But the Lord layed on my heart how me not going could effect some little childrens lives for the worse. So....
I went.
And in Hindsight I do not regret making that decision at all..
When I first arrived I started to compare myself to the other people there and I began to think about how inadequete I was to these men and women who devoted their entire being to the Lord. As I was comparing myself to them It felt as if God was telling me,
"You can Love Me like that. It'll be hard, you'll have to do some work but you can be devoted too."
And it was.
Probably the Hardest thing Ive ever done.
I was now in an intimate friendship with a person I couldnt see.
Makes me sound a little bit crazy.huh?!
But regardless, this is the best friendship Ive ever had with the greatest and best friend who will never fail me.
While at camp I devloped this friendship and I really began to understand how much God really loves me and everyone else. Now I will never know exactly how much he loves us because his love is greater than anyone can ever understand but I have been able to see how unconditional His love is.
Im ashamed to say that before this experience at camp I never really took my faith seriously. At camp I began to talk with God and read His word and it was as if He was talking back to me. The more I began to learn the more He used me in ways I could have never imagined.
There are sooo many specific stories I could tell you and I will tell them to you if you ask me.
but for right now I just wanted to share what God had taught me this Month and Im a list person so..
1.He loves us more than anyone ever will
2.He never EVER fails us
3. He uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things
4.He never works in the ways you would expect
5.If you let Him, He will blow your mind!!!
6.He teaches even the unteachable
These are just some of the things I was blessed with this month and maybe I'll think of more later If you have questions you can ask.
Love&Rockets
