| | As the rain and the snow
come down from heaven,
and do not return to it
without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11 This passage to me says taht I am the Lords. That He is with me throughout everything and everytime. He fills my life with a purpose for His desire and for His glory. It returns to Him, not me.
So. This has been a busy summer for me. I have been up north a little ways in Evart, Michigan working at SpringHill Camps. It was an amazing experience. Although, I did not expect it to be. I was really struggling the first two weeks. I had this mind set that I was the "camper" and not the "counselor" and so I expected to have these huge revelations. It was definately not like that at all. And God was quick to show me that I was being selfish and thinking it was more about me than the real reason I was there.
I was there not to grow, but to help others grow. I was there to give my time to others; even if they were only 1-3 graders. I needed to trust God with my summer. When I finally let all of that go I was able to give God all of me during the summer. I didnt expect myself to grow, but weekly I would see how God was using the people/the children to help me grow.
Overall, I realized that God does not have to do big things in my life to prove that He will not leave. I learned that staying steadfast for the Lord blesses your life more than any "rollercoaster relationship". I think that is how it is suppose to be. Not saying that I don't have my hard times. I certainly do. It is just a lot more healthier to have a realtionship with God that is more steady-then to always be looking for the big ups that follow downs and vise versa...
hopefully I will be able to keep more postings more regularily...
