Okay, here goes...
It's taken me a while to recover from Summer Camp this year. It was such an amazing, awesome, inspiring, loving and growing time and I'm still on a spiritual high even though I was exhausted. It was so encouraging to see the youth really seeking God and through it all of us were growing closer to Him each day. I LOVED worshipping every evening in a tent in a field with the cows mooing along as well!
And the best part is that even though I didn't feel I connected as well with my tent this year, a lot of the girls had amazing encounters with God and are still coming to church on Sunday - something they would never have even thought of doing before Summer Camp. Which adds to my own personal breakthrough from God for the week - something that I said in a conversation with one of the campers and have actually found to be a great comfort for myself (which makes me think that actually He said it!):
'Remember that God works in people, and we just have to be loved by Him so that we can love.'
I found this so refreshing and since being back have come to have a real feeling of peace about my decision to return to South Africa. I don't know when it will be but I'm certain I will be there some time.
So I am confidently moving forward and making new footprints in faith by raising support from friends and family for my return, praying that God will open and close the right doors in front of me.
