Thanks for Praying

I have not made a public request for your prayers, but I want to thank you for praying. I know someone has, and I want to bear witness that God hears.This week has been amazing. I went evangelizing with the Van Keppels the Friday before last and invited a Mormon girl to church. She came, and then came again to the Van Keppel's for dinner where we discussed her faith and she shared why/how she was a Mormon. I am very hopeful that God is doing a great work in her because she is eager to come back and talk with us again. It's been a blessing to do the work of the Kingdom in this way.Also I have been blessed and convicted with the knowledge that I have but one life to live, and Jesus has asked me to give it up, and take up my cross. I have not been zealous about His work of late, but this week my eyes have been opened again to the privilidge of being His. Jesus gave His life for the Father, what is it that I can give? Just hours before his death Jesus said:"I will not longer talk with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has not claim on me, but I do as the Father has commanded Me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here." John 14:30-31What does being a Christian really mean? What does Christ really have for us if we are willing to follow and obey? When will we start showing Christ's love in big ways and small... knowing that that is why we are here. "Therefore be in imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave humself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2

Tomorrow I head to camp. It's going to be weird being on staff, instead of being a camper. I'm excited. I hope that I can love these girls, and be some help on their journey. Have an amazing week.
