The Best News EVER!!!
Well I endured many months of prayer, patience, and fingers-crossed and Thursday it all came to an end.
I received an email asking me to be the newest Counselor at Camp!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't believe it at first. My heart was bursting so much that I could not thank God audibly! My heart was just pouring with thanks and gladness. It is so wonderful that He can hear that too!
I quickly ran into my living room and jumped up and down screaming to my parents that I got the job! They were definitely happy for me, though their excitement was not as grand as mine. haha Then I called my dearest friend Mariah and told her. She was super happy as well!! She has been a comfort throughout these past months and a great friend overall! : )
All at once I started crying and laughing. I was so overwhelmed with joy!
I proceeded to call, message, and email other people about it. It is so great to have those special friends that pray for you about stuff like this. Without them I don't know where I would be. Thanks guys!
So, there it is, the best news I have received in....well.....forever! I think this was better than knowing I would be a volunteer at Camp.
I know now, without a doubt, that this is truly where God is leading me. Whether I go to college or not, He is directing me down this path. I am completely ready to just walk alongside Him wherever He goes! Like I said, it was hard to express my thanks to Him, and even now I find it hard to form the words. Mostly I simply smile wholeheartedly and just say "thanks". It doesn't have to be a long and beautifully scripted prayer to mean something to our God, it just has to be completely from our hearts.
This summer will be tough, 4 weeks of Camp in the middle of the summer, but I know that if I truly give myself to being Christ then it will be the most fulfilling and joyous thing I've ever done. I cannot wait to get started!
"Dear God, may you guide my thoughts and actions as I embrace this journey you have laid before me. Jesus give my your eyes, so that I may only look at the heart."
God is writing chapter two of my life's story......this is just too exciting!
Thank you so much for all of your prayers!
