Wow. Two more weeks. The end is in sight! This session has brought me some amazing girls, amazing friends, and amazing opportunities; it has also brought me a most welcomed and more difficult challenge.
I have always struggled with people of the Jewish faith and their place in the spiritual world. They are "God's chosen people" and I feel that with this title they should be permitted to spend eternity with Him, but the Word we read says otherwise, and thus begins my struggle. I have accepted that the answer to this question is one that I will not begin to know or understand until I have had at least a day next to the Man Himself. But until then I have felt led to learn as much about the Jewish faith as I can and also to minister to those practicing it. And now I have my chance.
Yesterday, we got our new campers and a new friend up here told me she's amazing. When she arrived she told me she's Jewish. My first thought was "then what are you doing here", but she's a returning camper so I guess she likes it. Through more conversation I learned that her father is Catholic and by tradition she goes to a Catholic school but she is a practicing Jew.
Anyway, I could feel that we would have an awesome cluster and we do! They're absolutely amazing! But I'm nervous about the devotionals that we do each night. About the conversations/questions that will be brought up. And about how to lead the devotionals, which to do, and in what order. I feel really challenged, but I know the Lord will light my path as I walk it and show me what to do when.
I ask you all to please pray for me over the next two weeks! Pray for the Lord to calm me and give me a peace about where to lead these girls, or even better, just for me to let Him lead them through me. It's time to get to work, thank you all for your prayers!! I hope to see you all soon! And PLEASE let me know if there is anything I can be praying for!!
In Him.
