Thank you, God, for Pastor Tim

I woke up at 2:30 this morning. It soon became obvious I would not go back to sleep anytime soon.

I prayed for the list of requests that easily came to mind. My mom, my children, my church family, Vacation Bible School, kids camp... I praised Him too. I praised Him for my mom, my children, my church family, Vacation Bible School, kids camp...

I got out of bed and worked on kids camp. It's right around the corner. Many children will be there, ready to have a blast. They will arrive with questions, questions they won't ask out loud.

Questions such as:

Why did my mom die?

Does God care that I am lonely?

When will my mom and dad stop fighting?

Why don't I fit in?

Can God hear my prayers?

Pastor Tim has prepared messages and music for these kids. I am almost finished with the devotion book. The t-shirts are ready for pick up. Long View Ranch is ready for us.

One thing remains and is needed now until next weekend.

Prayer.

Prayer for safety.

Prayer for strong friendships.

Prayer for health.

Prayer for powerful worship.

Prayer for great weather.

Prayer for super-amazing fun.

Prayer for our counselors to be sensitive to the needs of the kids.

Prayer for kids to leave camp with a greater, stronger realization of who God is and just how wide and deep His love is!

Won't you join me in praying for the best camp experience ever?

Won't you join me in praying for Pastor Tim and our counselors?

I love watching God do amazing things! We don't have answers to all of life's questions, but we serve a God who keeps His promises. He is all we need.

Thank you, God, for Pastor Tim!
