Leaning on God

Sorry that it has been forever since the last time that I posted. This Summer thus far has been amazing. It started out the with the best gift ever. On April 28 i became an aunt of the most beautiful baby girl, i am bias though. I had a couple of weeks at home. Then i went to Colorado.

Being here in Colorado has been amazing. I have been here for over a month already and i do not want to leave. I have really enjoyed being a counselor. God has stretched me so much and has grown me a lot in this past month. I have learned to take a leadership role, which is something new to me. God is also teaching me about grace and how to effectively share it with the campers. Also how grace applies in my own life. I am reading a book, with one the girls that i meet with, it is titled The Discipline of Grace by Jerry Bridges. One of my favorite quotes so far in this book is "Your worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God's grace." I talked about this quote with the girl for awhile and we just talked about how we feel like God's grace is not enough for us on our bad days, and then when we have good days we always feel like we can do it on our own. God is really teaching me that right now when i have good days i try to do everything on my own, but i can't. I have really had to learn to lean on God because at camp i am always tired and i just need God to give me the strength to meet with the campers and to go out play games. I work six hours a day in the office, which i enjoy the people are amazing. It does get tiring though. I hope to update this again soon. That is one of the main things i am learning so far. I could use pray that i will still press on toward God and not try to do this on my own. I also still be open with the girls that i meet with. Pray for the girls that i meet with that God will reveal himself to them and that they will be open and have a willingness to learn.
