Today’s the day
Well the week is over, we’ve had our last worship service, and the fun begins. The fun of getting students to pack and be on time for the bus. . . . Just kidding, I know they will be on time so that we can leave on time, I am sure of it. Last nights service was very good, Ryan (the camp pastor) spoke on getting out of the cheap seats and getting into life. His offical title of the message was “God created us to be in the game of life.” With this title and main point he is saying hey God wants us to be a part of life and this is how we know we are created to be in the game: Jeremiah 1:4-8
We were:
1. Created by God to be in the Game (Ps. 130:13-14)
2. Considered by God (Ps. 139:16)
3. Chosen by God (Jn. 6:44; II Peter 2:9)
4. Called by God (I Peter 2:9)
5. Covered by God or God says I’VE GOT YOU!!!!!!!
This week has been a good week, yes we’ve had our difficulties, our struggles, our problems but overall God has shown up and shown off this week. We had 2 students accpet Christ (Chloe Simmons, Emilee Sasser), and we had 4 students say they feel they are called to fulltime ministry (Katina Piland, Heather Simmons, Jackie Simmons, Rick Johnson), plus many other decisions. But God has also allowed me as a student minister to have to deal with things and adjust to problems in the moment, but not allow Satan to take that moment and use it for himself. Yes this happened once this week as I shared earlier but God also has allowed growth both in me and the students that I had to go to.
You know that in just a year we’ve had many adjustments and the adjustments will continue to come for a while to come as we grow and both in numbers and spiritually.
Well, I guess the next time I talk with you all it will be in Ino, Alabama, so until then keep us in your prayers as we travel today adn also that God will continue to grow us and bring us closer to Himself.
