We sent the camp to bed early last night (no late night game) and slept in this morning. I trust the Lord gave the sleep the campers were beginning to need as early excitment and energy began to give way to long-days-in-the-sun fatigue. Camp days are long and demanding. So to avoid the feast and famine of fluctuating energy levels we took an extra long night of rest and sleep. Already I see it paying off for the staff. They work hard and relentlessly and it's good to see the Lord renew their strength.
I ask that you too would relentlessly do the work of prayer on our behalf asking God to work with power in the remaining half of this camp week so as to draw the hearts of the children to himself. May he do this and even more. May he build us into his temple, a dwelling place where fellowship in Christ binds us together and causes us to love each other radically at great personal risk rather than cowering or basking in the fear and approval of man and so selfishly serve only ourselves.
May God do this before our very eyes even as he has already been doing. Soli Deo Gloria!
Extra sleep and a move to the pole barn - evidence of God's grace to give wisdom to this staff that loves Him and loves our kids. This mother's heart is VERY thankful!
ReplyDeleteWhen we trust God, we can be flexible and let go of our plans. I'm continuing to pray!

May the Lord continue to do great things in the hearts of the campers and staff.
