I was quiet about applying, letting only a few people know. After last year I was apprehensive about applying, but I felt God was calling me back. And luckily, I followed the call! I think the Lord knew I wasn't ready last year and was teaching me a little thing called patience in the time afterwards. Let's just say I am still working on that. I will be working the second half of summer as a counselor and working the ropes course. I am so excited but also nervous as well. I read 2 Corinthians 3 the night I was hired and it gave me so much encouragement.
You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. (vs. 2-5)
Glory belongs to God alone. He can make hearts of stone soft through the Holy Spirit. Anything I do I do through Him. It gives me such relief. On my own I know I am nothing. But with Him and through Him I can be an instrument for proclaiming His love.
If you think about it, keep me in your prayers. That I am prepared to share Christ's love with a bunch of middle school girls. That I am equipped and ready and willing. I am so excited about this summer and I can't wait to see how He moves!
