DAY 223
I finished Forgotten God today !
whoa - please please please try it out for a read. READ IT WITH DISCERNMENT. Like all Christian books that attempt to open our minds & hearts towards new perspectives & new ways to worship & love God, please remember that these books aren’t the Bible & not necessarily God-breathed.
God has pulled to my attention that I struggle with...

littlethingsaboutgod:
The whole of the Christian life is meant to look like the toddler phase in terms of dependency—we are to always depend on God for everything.
Why?
Because God is God and we are not.

DAY 222
during our staff devotionals this morning, I heard something that really shook me. In a good way, it was a new idea that I needed to be told, a reminder of purpose.
You see, sometimes our WORSHIP is not always about God. Sometimes it’s about the others that are watching us. If our worship were to glorify ourselves, than we are putting ourselves in comparison to God. (Which is a comparison...

DAY 221
it’s the beginning of another week of camp & I got to spend most of my night with a miracle baby. This baby went through so many complications after birth, such as seizures & strokes & all sorts of serious things as that.
But this little boy laughs & talks & walks & even runs ! The medical staff a year ago were very skeptical of his ability to stand when he was...
DAY 220
today was a huge day for camp - it was the 50th birthday of my camp ! wooo !
It was pretty incredible to hear some of the stories of people of all different ages & connected to the camp in many different ways & to see how much of an impact camp ministries has on our lives.
Today’s challenge was to serve with a grateful/thankful heart. I didn’t want to see today as a...
DAY 219
today’s challenge needs to be declared quickly because we are in GO GO GO mode at camp !
Today, I had a huge wake up call. This place, this camp is a job, yes. BUT it’s a job from the Most High. I work here & make earthly money, but it’s an honor & privilege & joy to witness about my KING.
today’s challenge was to serve with my whole heart. Tomorrow is a...

DAY 218
last night, I went into a cabin for a “sleep over”. The little girls get really excited when they hear that we’re going to be in their cabin that night to help with devotionals & sing them to sleep. Then we go over to the counselor side & sleep there. I don’t understand why, but it makes the little campers super excited !
Anyways, I tried to sleep & it...
DAY 217
God has hit me with some many things today that just astonish me & it’s only 9am ! PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS !
I just had some awesome devotional time with Him & now I had such a hard time picking today’s challenge because there were just so many great things to focus on today. I encourage ALL of you to stop what you’re doing RIGHT NOW & pick up your...
DAY 216
sometimes, it’s so easy for us to believe that we are not valued or loved or important. Maybe it’s because we have become lazy or selfish, but you know what? We can never ever believe lies that make us feel utterly alone because God promises to never leave us. EVER.
This summer, I feel like I haven’t drawn close enough to God to have the intimacy that everyone seems to have. I...
DAY 215
I do want to continue to pray for the right reasons today, I think that challenge is one that needs to continue on in the background for the rest of ever. While I was praying yesterday, I could feel the holy Spirit within me & making me aware of my prayers that may not have the right reasons behind them.
Today’s #1 challenge & the thing I want to focus on so much is not becoming...

Okay, I’ve had it. Enough with the hating on complementarianism.
Hear me on this: I am a woman and I am a complementarian. I believe in a God who has created man and woman for different roles. My role is not of any less value, it is just different. And that is okay.
For me…
DAY 214
I’m still reading Forgotten God & the chapter I read today really truly hit me. It asked, “why do you want Him?”
A lot of people want to be filled with the Holy Spirit, but why? For our own glory? Most likely. In the Bible, it showed so many people trying to harness & use His power for their own purposes or even trying to BUY the power of the Holy Spirit. That might...
DAY 213
week 3 of camp is over ! Today has been a solid day of rest & continuing on with my goal of keeping ALL of my promises. Today’s challenge is pretty simple but incredibly important.
Today, I need to figure out when I will devote time solely to God. This cannot be time that will be negotiable or used for something else. This will be time alone with God that cannot be sacrificed and...
I don't want to ride on somebody else's passion; I...
I want to burn with unquenchable fire
deep down inside
see it coming alive
DAY 212
Today’s challenge was to actually stick to promises. I need to stick to my promise to God that I will MAKE time for him always in my life. And I need to stick to my promises to campers & all that stuff. I need to also stick to the promises & goals that I set out for myself.
Today is a day of action !
