I know it's probably bad that my second post of the summer comes over half-way into the summer. Things have been very busy. I have been learning so much at Orangewood about myself, ministry, and the Gospel. I have grown to be able to detect when the Gospel is not being accurately preached (or not preached at all), which I believe is essential. It's all about grace--and that amazing grace drives us to live for Jesus with all we are.
On to a summary of my comings and goings! We just got back today from a week in Daytona at Student Life Camp with the high schoolers. What a great, exhausting week! We had a wonderful group of students along with us, and the Lord definitely taught us all many things. Kasey and I shared a room of five beautiful girls. We had lots of great conversations about what a daily, consistent walk with God would look like. Please pray that Kasey and I will be able to continue our relationships with these precious girls--to learn from them and to guide them.
We have a day off tomorrow, followed by a Sunday full of church fun and then another Camp! Woohoo. Pray for strength, discernment, and the leading of the Spirit!
Praise be to Jesus Christ, whose blood covers us and makes us clean!
