an unexpected angel.

7/1/10

During discipline of silence last night I went into it superrrr tired, delerious, wanting alone time, I didnt think any of my girls were going to come and chat with me either-which was honestly my hope.

Then this boy camper came up and he told me how his Dad had died of cancer over christmas and after seeing my confessions video he felt God tugging on him to come over to my cabin and chat about who knows what. He looked SO at peace with his father's passing though, he even had a slight smile as he told me that it was going to camp over the years and forming a relationship with God that had prepared him for the death of his father and gave him the confidence and peace that he was going to be okay. Especially because his dad had accepted the Lord right before his passing. He knew God prepared his family with a solid support group of family and friends for this time. He said of course it is still hard, but he had a joy that it was going to be okay because of his relationship with God. I was moved to tears of joy.

This camper gave me the energy and renewed spirit in Christ I needed right then in my exhausted state to go on to have a conversation with my camper who had some realll tough stuff going on. Without that boy coming to chat I dont know if I would have had the same patience and words to say to my camper, way cool stuff. God knew just what I needed.

More delayed blogs to come asap...
