God has an amazing plan for each of our lives.
It was yesterday morning that the AD (Area Director) I have been with since July 10 and I were both thinking about washing our kids feet yesterday morning and had a text exchange about it. As I sat on a rock in the stream, it quickly became obvious that my shorts were going to be wet. I was okay with that. While one of the guys read the story of Jesus washing the disciples feet, I couldn't help but wonder what it would have been like to be a fly on the wall, watching Jesus do so. Sitting on the rock in the stream, I looked around and couldn't help but see God in the nature around me. I've loved being able to spend time with these girls. Being able to serve them this week by washing their feet and pray over them was priceless.
What you might not know is, that for the past two weeks, I've spent a lot of time in prayer, and talking with my co-workers here at SpringHill. All of that time has been spent thinking, talking, and praying about what God's amazing plan for me is. What he has started to make very clear to me is that he wants me in ministry.
God's plan for me hasn't always been clear. Yet, as He works in my life, He continues to blow my mind. The way that he works to make things happen sometimes seem hard to handle, but He has us experience those things so that we grow and learn to rely more on Him than on the world for our needs.
What I didn't expect during the time spent washing campers feet last night was that I would find myself loving being able to serve these campers in this way. I also realized that I am now feeling a sense of direction and purpose in my life that I haven't felt since before I was let go from my previous job. As I've thought about it, working at SpringHill Camps, I've found a place where I feel needed, wanted, loved, appreciated, and a place where I feel like what God is calling me to do in the long term is being fulfilled in the short term.
I can say that God's plan for my future is bright, and holds ups and downs.
