Sports Camp

Sports camp was last week. Prior to camp I was feeling a little bit useless as I am not the most athletically inclined. I just asked the Lord to give me a place and to use whatever gifts I have.  The last minute before camp I was switched to a different cabin with different girls. As it turned out, I was put in a cabin with one girl who came from an abusive home situation and another who was demon possessed. The first twenty-four hours was a little eventful. More than anything, I had to take time for an attitude adjustment. Even though I prayed about being useful, my cabin situation was not exactly what I had had in mind.

Yesterday we had solitude which was just a good time for me to reflect on everything that happened over the course of the week before.  The Lord gave me so much from 1 Corinthians 2: 6-16. So during sports camp, there were a few moments where God gave me the ability to do things in the spiritual sense that I would never be able to do on my own. When I think about it, it enlarges my heart because even though we were handed some tough obstacles, and even though by the end we were physically wiped, God equipped us with all that we needed to face each challenge with truth and grace. I think I have written more in my journal in the last two weeks about all that God has taught me than I have the last several months. Lots of miracles.
