The Lord is Good

The Lord is good. This week I got to see part of God's amazing and mysterious plan revealed. Two and a half years ago I lost my mother to breast cancer. At the time, I knew God had a plan but of course I didn't understand it at the time and I'm not sure I ever will completely. But, this week He showed me His faithfulness.

About half way through the week, it was brought to my attention by a fellow staffer that one of the campers (who had accepted Christ the day
before) had dealt with a very similar experience and had expressed questions and concerns. The next day, I felt God urge me to let her know that if she needed a fellow griever that I was her girl. We began to talk. We shared stories and she asked questions. Some of which I gave an answer, some of which we pondered together. We comforted each other. We encouraged each other. We cried. We laughed. We hugged.

God gave us that time together. Time to share together. Time to hurt together. Time to remember the remarkable women He put in our lives.
That is what living in community is all about. Doing life together. God is doing amazing things in the lives of these students and I feel so blessed that He uses even the most painful experiences to further His plan.

Blessed by the people I encounter,
