a series of events led to me being able to head out to echo lake bible camp for the last night of camp. it was great to see old friends and reconnect with past campers. then i got to spend the rest of my days in saskatch in the sun working on my tan.
reunited! felt so good even if it was for 12 hours!
this is fort san. it is claimed to be haunted and all that jazz. i stayed here years ago as a child and was scared. we went back. i was still scared.
this lil hawtie turned 18!
the good stuff:
sometimes we have this plan in our head and we envision the path we are going to take for the next few months and God throws us a curve ball. this is literally the story of my life.
example a) thought i would go to briercrest (bible college) after high school. God told me to do a DTS.
example b) wanted to go back on staff with YWAM. God told me to move to calgary.
example c) moved to calgary to go to school. God gave me jobs that have made me realize what i am called to do and what i do and don't want to do for His kingdom.
all along i knew i was going to be in ministry. what kind of ministry i thought i was going to be in is far from what i feel him calling me towards now days. in saying this all God gave me these verses;
John 16:33 "I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world"
James 1:2-3 "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."
now, God has again thrown me a curve ball. i'm in the process of praying about it and seeing what i'm actually supposed to do with this curve ball. so, i'm going to have to leave you hanging here. but know that there will be a super exciting post coming up in the next month or so!
this new challenge has caused me all types of emotions. i've screamed, i've cried, i've rejoiced, i've mourned. but through it all God has given me this peace and i know He won't leave me. i know He won't give me more than i can handle. i know His plan is better than mine. i know He sees the bigger plan and even though this may seem huge to me, its just a step in His will for my life. my faith is being tested. my courage is being tested. but i'm growing. i'm fully relying on God.
