Busy Summer

God is good all the time! This summer I have been truly blessed. Our family has had the privilege of attending 2 youth camps and 3 camp meetings, and we have had an amazing time. I think there is no better way to spend a summer than in the presence of the Lord at a holiness service almost every night. I personally have used this opportunity to draw closer to the Lord than I ever have in my life and I have applied these verses to my life (Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.) and I have seen amazing results. The Lord has dealt with me to lay aside weights that used to seem so important, that now seem as foolish as trying to run a marathon while carrying a bowling ball. I am living proof that God can change anyone's hear t if they are willing and can then use them to do things that would previously seem unbelievable. I want to encourage anyone who reads this to spend some time in daily prayer drawing closer to the Lord and you will see what amazing things He has in store for you!
