As we experienced a bit of leaves changing colors this fall, I was reminded that while the leaves change and people change, the Lord never changes. He is faithful beyond our comprehension. Always has been. Always will be.
It all started with a dream and a desire that was far beyond our reach. We knew that WE could not achieve such a goal.
We just needed to believe.
We asked for 540 kids this summer at camp. He gave us 571. 571 that He had chosen, not that we had chosen. We believed, and He was faithful.
We asked for wisdom as we prepared our trip to the United States. He gave us rest, rejuvenation, and blessed us beyond our imagination through conversations, visits, prayer, and financial gifts.
We asked for joy. He has given us many reasons to be filled with joy, through seeing His faithfulness both at camp and during our trip to the states.
"I may infuse within you a dream that seems far beyond your reach. You know that in yourself you cannot achieve such a goal. Thus begins your journey of profound reliance on Me. It is a faith-walk, taken one step at a time, leaning on Me as much as you need" (excerpt from Jesus Calling, Young, p 60).
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him; so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13
