Well we just got back from Glorieta, New Mexico yesterday after one of the most spiritually uplifting times in my entire life. Although I was there as an adult sponsor for our students, God used the time to edify me as well, not to mention re-ignite my passion for students coming to fully know Christ.
I love times like camp because they serve to remind me of God’s good plans for his children, plans that are often eclipsed because we are so accustomed to accepting less. So keep me honest, ok? It’s time for Park Hill to reach places unimaginable through God’s grace and purpose. It’s time for our students to know God on a level that was thought to be attained only by monks and nuns. It’s time for God’s name to be glorified again, not shun and shamed by those who don’t know him (and those who do).
It won’t be easy because unfortunately, the down side of experiences like camp is that it leaves people in a place that seems so much lower than the high time just experienced. But the thing that keeps me going is the wonderful knowledge that what just went on at Camp can be an everyday thing in our hearts. God intends good things for children. The question is: will we let him work? Time will tell.
