Today, I sit at my computer typing with more knots in my back, shoulders and legs that I thought were humanly possible. I am pretty sure my knots have their own family of knots. Why, you may ask? TWO SIMPLE WORDS: SUMMER CAMP!!!!!
Here is something I know however. The muscles will eventually smooth out, but lives were changed forever this weekend. Our camp in total had around 24 teens that said, "Yes" to Jesus for the first time. God is so good.
One in particular is the reason for this blog....
On Friday night as the worship was starting I was informing BAM (our speaker) and Swine (the other emcee) about the order of the service, when I had an undeniable urge to pray with these guys about one of our teens, BAILEY. The three of us joined in one accord and asked God to reveal Himself to Bailey and let him know that He is the hero of all of our stories.
I see so much potential in Bailey to do something amazing for our Heavenly Father.
He is a leader, and I tend to really like those kind of people.
Saturday night Swine had the luxury of helping him come to a decision to commit his life to Jesus. The change was almost immediate. He glew with joy in such a way that to deny God's work was unavoidable. Imagine that, we pray that God would bring someone to Him and He does. Coincidence? I think not.
Bailey has such an important chapter to write with his Jesus. Adventures, battles, victories and defeats. It is a beautiful mosaic picture of how God works. He takes the broken and makes it whole. Pray for Bailey. He is excited about the hope he now has and wants to leave the fake the world offers for the Real that God gives.
Amazing things happen when we our outside our abilities. At the moment when one must rely on God to perform a miracle, they tend to get out of the way and see something beautiful.
Praise be to God for His indescribable gift.
