Looking back on this summer, it is overwhelming how much I
have learned. The way The Lord used people and situations to encourage me
and challenge me is incredible! One of the biggest lessons I learned this
summer was also the most simple. I felt The Lord gently (and sometimes
not so gently) remind me this: It's not about me. All of the work, the
phone calls, the organizing, the filing, the long hours, the meeting with
students and begging them to come to camp, all of the craziness... none of it
was about me. The purpose of everything we did this summer was ultimately
for The Lord. I learned repeatedly that, as a follower of Jesus, I am
called to love and to serve and in the end, it is all for His glory and His
kingdom. John 3:30 has been such an encouragement to me over the last ten
weeks. It says "He must increase, but I must decrease."
What a joy it has been to live purposefully for Christ this summer and to
watch everything He has done! It's all about Him!
